During my first few weeks in college I was asked to put together a five minute presentation on any topic of my choice. At the beginning I was very scared to even start this presentation, as I haven’t done a presentation before. Especially not in front of my class. I found the whole idea very challenging.
For my presentation I chose to do “Sneezing” I chose this topic because I sneeze. A lot. While preparing my presentation I found out loads of new information about sneezing, I created all of my different slides and I even inserted a short video. On the day of my presentation disaster struck.
The video didn’t work and due to my lack of preparation I was under five minutes. I was scared and I was speaking too fast. From having the experience with doing a presentation I would now say that it is really important to be prepared.
If I was to go back and redo my presentation I would stop being so nervous and talking too fast. I would seem more interested in my topic so that the audience is also interested not as if I’m just giving them the information so that they don’t do anything with it. One tip my lecturer told me was to “tell em what your gonna tell em, tell em, tell em what you told em.” If I was to do another presentation I would make sure I used this tip and I would connect with my audience more. I would also prepare for the worst.
