Leading by Example

So this past week saw the first part of the oral presentations that we are to prepare. I must say, like the last one, I've seen some really great presentations. I feel like I have to really practice now, to be able to keep up with everyone else.

Watching these presentations, I now have a better understanding of what is expected of me and my presentation. I've been, up until this past week, a little in the dark in exactly how we are to go about preparing and presenting this presentation. I am truely impressed by the people that went on Tuesday, because I feel like they were/are in the same situation as I am in, in which they weren't too sure about whether what they were doing was correct. The benefit of watching these presentations was that I can take the best of what I saw, and then be able to apply that to what I am doing. Also, I can take what I didn't like so much and try to avoid it this time.

I know that I got alot of comments about my hand gestures, so I am going to try my best to keep those at bay. I get nervous, though, and that's what I do when I get nervous! I'll need to practice with my hands tied behind my back! I also didn't give enough eye contact. I'll make sure to look at everyone this time.

I must say so far, so good. I just hope I can compete!
