I’m just a mouth
Sunday, February 19, 2006
Everyday this theory of mine proves to be right. I’m just a mouth.
Well, after tomorrow I’ll be giving a one day training for some users. From the moment I heard that and I feel my heart is beating!!
I fear nothing as much as I fear public speaking. Though, I’ve attended a lot of presentation skills courses, and did presentations before, and I’m very aware of what does it take to make a good presentation. But still, this does nothing beside my fear of public speaking. Add to that, this time is different. It’s my first presentation at work. It’s a training. Some managers will be attending. It’s my first contact with the users face to face. I’m the youngest.
Well, will not list rest of the reasons. Don’t want to remind myself with them. I’m already in panic. I really wonder how do I want to teach?!

Moon, I am sure you will do just great! It is normal to be a little afraid of public speaking, especially if managers are around to hear it! But I am sure all those classes you took and your lovely nature will help you have the best training session in that company's history :)
Dear friends, I'm really thankful for your supportive comments :)
Can't imagine the day is over, actually it is. The nightmare is over.
How did it go?!
Well, the duration of the session was one hour, which I gave 5 consecutive times. First two was very bad I guess. I was surprised by people’s attitude. They were debating about things out of my scope, but thank God I had the project manager to deal with them. The next three were better I guess. I managed to handle things better than the first two.
I guess All in all it wasn’t bad. I learnt something new. As the quote on my blog says “Experience is one thing you can't get for nothing.”

Cool!
Good news..
Good news..
Thank you :)
Tips to be taken into consideration:
-Objective of the presentation,
-Always be visual (Dress decently, Movements of hand and arms, Body language, and Voice)
-Eye contact for all audience,
-Do not read what is written on the slide, and try not to forget and in case you may forget use notes,
-Useing visual aids will help, Ghraphs, Charts, Snapshot screens, ..etc
Good luck and let me know how it goes
