Lord of de Blog: The Two Hours

You know, those two hour meetings can really pay off. I think they made our presentation presentable. Otherwise, woulda' been a nervous bunch and the presentation would have felt like two hours. Anyway, I will address four main points in this post: (a) things I did right, (b) something I did wrong, (c) things KAKI did right, and (d) something KAKI choked on.

Keepers. Ron Weasley. Get it? He played keeper, ha...sorry. What I mean to say is my gestures (except for holding my hands together). I be usin' my hands a lot, without even noticing. Like, when explaining parallelism, I used lefty for the manual side and righty for the automated. Twas' lookin' smooth. Another thing, the preparation. Like when I bust out that quote, I seem pretty legit. Just as a whole, I seemed to know what I was talking about. Like I say, those two hours meeting make a difference.

Stopper. Sometimes I was lookin' pretty out of place. Like, I'm not quite sure where I should be standing. I scoot around uncomfortably a little. I should probably take a step back when I'm done talking. Get outta the way.

Team Keepers. Lookin' smooth. Us and the Power Point. Perfect? Nay. But snazzy. Glad we talked about what to wear. We looked like a team. Power Point, despite its flaws, seemed pretty official and usually legible. Also, the hook was solid. Good for our audience, I reckon. Ring Pops at the end also just made at least the proposal aspect of our presentation memorable.

Choked. Actually using our Power Point. I mean, it was there, and looking pretty good, but I don't know how much we really used it to help present. Some charts, some visuals to make understanding a bit easier. Now, it wasn't terrible. Organized things a bit,  and usually showed the things we were saying. But using it, maybe with the pointer, I think could have made it better. Room to improve.

That's what I got. KAKI doesn't slack (slack, like slacks, khaki, slacks, get it?), so we'll keep getting better. Practice makes better.

KAlexKI, out.
