De Blog wears prada

Every group in the MCOM presented just the other day. We dressed up all nice and fancy. Snazzy, if you will. I wanna' give a shout-out to Kelly and Ian for all of their hard work. Even when I had to make like Christian and bail, they continued working hard on the PowerPoint on that fateful Wednesday night. Also, some diligent practicers. A solid team. I feel good about it. We put in our effort.

Anyway, it was fun to watch some other presentations too. Hearing complaints about streaming on Netflix really hit home for me. Freezes up way to often when I'm trying to watch The Office. We saw some good examples of powerful speakers, waking up the audience, and showing stunning facts. Good presentations really. The GoReact thing was kinda cool, but kinda distracting. Hey, that reminds me, I'm gonna' see what people said about our presentation. Gimme a sec and I'll be right back.

A sec later....

After taking a gander at that, it seems that we had too much filler. I hadn't realized... And we still gotta get a bit better at talking to the whole audience. Me especially. Gotta' look around. People wanna' see my beautiful eyes. But all in all, pretty good. Smooth transitions, good volume, we supported one another, etc.

I'm gonna' have to be one well rehearsed chap for my presentation on the "30 second elevator pitch." Gonna' be intense. There's gonna' be so much eye contact that if it was a sport, they'd call a foul for too much contact on the play. Eye will practice. It's gonna' be you and eye.

Yep, adios amig(o/a).

  1. "A sec later..." - funny. That made me wish that I had a video camera for my life so that I could recap experiences throughout the day. I might try hooking a go pro up to myself for a day to see what I'm like when I'm not inside my own head...thanks for the inspiration!

  2. I thought we did an overall bang up job bud! Way to go! Can we improve? Yes, but if you compare our presentation skills to how they were at the beginning of the class you can see a big difference.
