Graded pair presentation

Last week, Michelle, Jasper and I had to give a presentation about Hazel. The assignment was to devise a strategic new vision to the new CEO of Hazel and its board of directors. We decided to give the company a new logo, a more comprehensive mission statement and we decided to launch a new product. You can see the slides of our presentation below.

I think the presentation went fairly well; the feedback I got was quite positive. However, there are a couple of points that I have to improve. 

Firstly, I have to let the person who asks a question finish his/her sentence. When I interrupted someone during my presentation, I knew that I should not have done this, but I already did so I could not turn anything back. Thus, this is one important point that I have to improve.

Secondly, I have to be more active in the question and answer session.

Thirdly, my part of the presentation was quite monotonous, it was a swot-analysis with just facts. Maybe, I could have done something to make it more interesting to listen to.

Fourthly, from time to time, I glanced at my notes. However, I think that I can definitely do without notes while presenting. When I am practicing at home I know the whole text by heart, so it are just the nerves that make me insecure.

Finally, I made a few little grammar and pronunciation mistakes which I easily could have avoided. I pronunciated for example 'representatives' wrong. Now, it is very obvious how to pronunciate it, so it was just a stupid little mistake. Furthermore, I said "They are nowadays..." instead of "Nowadays, they are..." and I said "They are very eager at looking good" instead of "They are very eager to look good". These are just tiny mistakes which I will not make again. 

For the next time, I will definitely keep in mind these points of critique, and I am certain that I am able to improve them.
