Presentations started from today. Two groups presented today, but the main problem I saw and noticed frequently was the lack of expressing their thoughts best to the audience wit words, and how uncomfortable and nervous they looked while talking. They needed to sound more convincing, and be the expert on what they are talking about. Many of the presenters sounded like robots, or were talking way too fast, or I couldn’t hear them at all from across the room.

One key point in presenting they were all missing was having confidence and faith in themselves. If your standing in the presenter’s shoes, you are here to talk about your passion, your hard excelling projects with passion! You don’t need to worry about if the audience thinks it’s bad or if it’s funny, you just have to be able to send your main point/message to the audience at the end. Another problem I saw while observing was that mostly all of the presenters were rock hard, never really moving around, looking as if they were glued to the ground and had no choice but to JUST stand still. If you get nerves easily, getting to know and talk one to one with the audience can help with that. For example, try and make a funny joke, or ask mysterious and funny question, to perk the stamina of the audience back up, and to become more comfortable with talking to them.

I learned that presentations are NOT something that is easy to do, you must practice like Mr. Paterson, even just for a few minutes every single day, to become better at something that is challenging.
