I and Faith gave a presentation on ‘Leader as a Trust Builder’. Faith started the presentation. She did a good job by outlining the key elements in the presentation. The introduction was short, to the point and appealing enough to arouse interest in the audience. Faith maintained a good eye contact with all members in the room. This is important as it makes sure you engage with all people sitting in the room. Faith covered about seven to eight slides. Then I took over the remaining part of the presentation. I think that the transition between us was very smooth and the presentation did not lose any flow or connectivity. I was well prepared about the topic and did not have any difficulty in discussing the points during my presentation. Our presentation was for approximately fifteen minutes. We had also put some interesting questions at the end for discussion with the class.

According to me, we both did a very good job as far as the oral communication is concerned. We had a nice flow and tone to our voice. We used gestures and eye contact effectively to engage the audience. The presentation was also well organized as far as the content goes. We had put only bullet points so that the audience have all their attention to what we are talking. But we also had some interesting pictures on our slides to make them interesting. There were some formatting errors on the power point slides. But these errors can be easily corrected. The next time we give any presentation, we will double check to see that the formatting is consistent through all the slides. I did use few fillers in my sentences like ‘umm’. But the count was much less than the previous presentation, so I definitely made some improvement on the use of fillers. For the next presentation, I will further try to reduce the use of unnecessary fillers and work towards improving my articulation and gestures even further.
