My group’s leader as communicator presentation is concentrating on leader being a navigator for the organization.  During the presentation, Natalia effectively talks about how leader is communicating as a direction setter.  Natalia also offers several examples for when and how should leader become a direction setter.  When she is finishing her part of presentation, she make a clearly transition by introducing me to talk about leader as transitional pilot and leader as linking agent.  I start my presentation by thanking Natalia and introducing my topics to the audience.  Overall, we have a very effective transition where we tell our audience where we are ending and where we are starting.

Generally, Natalia has a very elaborate body language where she is using her hands to emphasize the main points, and she is pointing at the power point to give examples and making her audience focus on what she is saying.  Natalia also make a lot of eye contacts to her audience to make sure everyone is paying attention and listening to her main points.  By comparison, I’m little lacking on eye contacts because of my nervousness and I rely too much on my notes.

The strength of our presentation is our contents.  We read the book materials and list a lot of different ideas on what cause the leader to become a navigator and how an effected navigator will help the organization.  We also provide a lot of life examples on our presentation to further emphasize the importance of leader being a navigator.

The thing I like to do differently next time is to have more practice time.  I believe by practicing more I will appear less nervous and will have more eye contacts with my audience.  I also like to have more time to work together with my group.  By working together more, we can help each other improve our presentation skills, and the presentation will appear more smoothly.
