2 days Presentation Skill Training

Yes. I would say that this is a very good training, I gain a lot of knowledge regarding the presentation.
We also manage to get the chance to practice the presentation skill we learned.

I bet most of the people will feel anxiety when they know that they need to do presentation.
So 1st, we been taught to deal with our anxiety. Organise, Visualise, practice, breathe, focus on relaxing, release tension, move and eye contact.

Next we need to deliver an impromptu presentation, actually not really impromptu, we do have a bit time to think about it. The title I get is "Football", easy right? But, due to I do not watch/play football, I don't have much point to talk about it. I just honestly said that I do not play or watch football, but I do know that there are 2 types of football, 1 is American football, while another 1 is soccer. And..bla bla bla...

Next, we also been taught about the appearance, posture, action and gesture during presentation.
Then, we played a game regarding the pronunciation, like the "she sells sea shell." Again, draw for the words that we need to read out, I got "cheap ship trip", the shortest word compare to others.

After that, we have a lucky draw again. This time is to draw for your sequence for the presentation tomorrow.
I manage to get the last 1. I think today I was quite lucky.

At the night, I keep on thinking what topic do I want to present about. At the end, I spent about 3 hours, I finished a presentation slides that talk about bancassurance products. After I finished it, I went to sleep.

The next morning, I feel that the topic is so boring, and I unable to deliver it interestingly. So I decide to change it. I spent only half an hour, I changed the whole slides. This time is talk about my job scopes and my new product. Actually I was fully unprepared for this time, but I think I can done it because it's my job, I should know it well. While for the new product, I am the one who prepare for the training slides also, I should know it well too.

Then here start the presentation. Total 16 person of us, plus 1 more the illustrator, the presentation will be recorded and 16 people will comment on the presenter's strength and things to improve.

Finally, it come to my turn. I was a bit nervous. I opened my slides, and start introduce myself. At the beginning, I don't know where to put my hands, since hands are not allowed to put into pocket, so I just put on my thighs. It look a bit weird, I know, but I just don't know where to put. But luckily, after the presentation started awhile, my hand start to move, pointing on the slides and I started to fall into my own world actually. I do have some eye contact with some people, but not all. Haha...I think the best part of my presentation is the product's part.

I quite familiar with the products, so I can talk very well on it. My knowledge is sufficient for my audience, but if I face the sellers, I might not be able to answer all their questions.

Below are the feedback I get from other participants & illustrator of this training.

Although I did not well prepared, but I get quite a lot of comment regarding it, that's why I feel very excited and happy.

I like the comments, because from here I can know my weakness and improve on it. 

Too bad that, got 1 person didn't comment anything on it, he/she left the form blank.

Comment: The training is good, I learned a lot. Although it seem hectic, because I need to attend the training whole day. So everytime the teabreak or lunch time, I need to rush back to office and finish my work.
