In communication strategy group presentation, our group talked about the message strategy. In the first part of our presentation, the presenter introduced a brief idea about what was the message strategy. Otherwise, he emphasized three important points in how to use message strategy: Harness the power of beginnings and endings; overcome the retention; organize your message. In this part, I think our presentation closely related to the concept of message strategy, which is our main topic.
In the second part of our presentation, we talked about three reasons why Mr. Peterson got fired. In this part, I don’t think we did a good job to relate the message strategy and the Mr. Peterson case. Honestly speaking, throughout the case, I didn’t get any hint about what kind of mistakes Mr. Peterson made in message communication strategy.
We did quite a good job in content transitions between speakers. Each one of us used one or two sentences to summarize our own presentation. And then we introduced our teammate, the next speaker, to the audience. Finally, we provide a general idea about the content about the next part of the presentation. We did the transition work in a concisely, clearly way.
Finally, I want to talk about my job in the presentation. There are some grammatical errors on my slide. The sentences in the slide were not parallel as well. Otherwise, there are couples of weakness in my presentation. Firstly of all, from the video, it seems that I am a little bit nervous. Actually due to my low level English, I was quite nervous at the moment. This is the reason that I didn’t talk very smoothly and explain the idea clearly. In addition, I kept on moving back and forth. The movement was random, repetitive and purposeless. I believe this is not an effective body language when doing the presentation.
If we do the presentation again, I would like to make another approach to relate our topic and the case. In addition, we should practice more, especially I myself, to make our presentation more fluently and adjust the gesture more naturally. Last but not the least, we should spend more time on designing the slides or at least choose one of the PowerPoint’s built-in design templates. I believe colorful slides would let the audiences be more interested in our presentation.
