MAIN BODY
Reflection on my performance in the group presentation, about my learning and my
improvements
Presentation is a process of presenting a topic in front of an targeted audience it is a speech
meant for informing inspiring motivating or for building good will in others present any new
idea or exchange of information. Presentation is a formal communication tools which is mostly
used in education sector and in business sector for addressing a particular topic and spreading the
information between others. I have also been a part of a group presentation where I was
responsible for present in the data and information we have collected. In a presentation there are
several different activities which is needed to be done and there are several areas in which all the
members of the group have to work in order to make the presentation attractive and informative.
In a presentation there are more importantly three tasks first is of research and collection of
appropriate data in relation with the topic of the presentation. The second task is of creating a
presentation which is very attractive and informative that means to the audience to whom we are
addressing are engage with us in the presentation and concentrate on the topic we were
presenting our presentation. The third task is of presenting the information collected and
basically presenting the presentation in front of the people and targeted audience.
I was responsible for presenting the information collected by the group and the presentation
created by one of the member of the group. The presentation which developed which we mix
2

efforts of all the group members was presented by me in front of the audiences. I was important
in research and development also along with holding the responsibility of presenting the
presentation. Therefore I had very good idea about water is exactly in the presentation and how
do I need to communicate are findings in front of the group. The person who developed or
created the presentation made it very attractive and informative with the help of bullet points and
related pictures and posters. I have volunteered for presenting the information and data we
collect in front of a targeted audience and the group I had very good confidence over my
communication skills. I learnt new skills and perspectives of presenting a presentation or
speaking in front of a group a people on a respective topic. While conducting research on our
topic for the presentation I have learnt many new information about same topic which were
unknown by me and our group members. The most interesting part of our group presentation and
what we learnt from it was how to effectively work in a team with different people of different
mind-sets and with different opinions. We collaboratively worked together with one another for
making art presentations the best among other groups by adding all the information which is
required for the topic and by making efforts towards preparing and presenting very efficient and
potential in presentations in front of our judges. Many times it happened that we all all were
thinking in different directions and our judgements was not meeting with one another they were
conflicting and created a lot of distress in the group at some point of time while working on the
presentation. But we all knew it that is very important for us to work together in order to make a
presentation the best act and most attractive therefore effectively communicated and discussed
all the things with one another and came to some solutions for addressing our problems.
I was is also facing a lot of problems while preparing for my presentation once all the research
work and presentation development work was completed. I was responsible for presenting the
whole presentation in front the people as i he took his job voluntarily it was my responsibility
that I give my 100% for making the best effect over the audience. there was some points which
confused me and where I was stuck while preparing myself for the presentation. The first
problem was of prioritising the information that means I was facing problems while deciding
that’s how much information is required for me too to give to the people while the presentation
slides are going on so that they do not get bored and distracted and lose interest in our
presentation. This one of the most essential area to be concentrated so that the audience do not
lose interest in the presentation and on the presenter while they are rendering the information.

Which facing problem and was very confused in managing the knowledge I had about the topic
and about the respective points.
Elaboration on the areas that needs improvements and development
From the above reflection of myself about the group presentation there are various points and
areas in which I develop more skills and made use of my existing skills to make a presentation
best and most effective. But there are several areas in which I need improvement and better
development of skills so that in future I can make use of these skills for moving forward in my
career and other day to day activities. Communication will be part of my life and in my careers it
will become one of the most important tool so that I can learn more and move forward in my
career by grabbing more opportunities. First area of improvement is time management where I
need to effectively manage my time while presenting the presentation and rendering information
about a particular topic for bullet point. The second area of improvement is conflict management
while working in a team and communicating my viewpoints to the team members.
 Time management- The sign is one of the most essential factors which decides the
effectiveness and potentially of a report for a presentation while presenting a presentation
it is very essential that the speaker manage the time according to the slides of the
presentation speaks about the prospective data related to the information in a particular
slide. In other words it means that the speaker who is presenting representation and
addressing all the points of the slides have to priorities their information according to the
time they have for respective bullet point or respective slide. If speaker extend the time
and misses a slide that will result in an effective presentation and that will result in losing
their marks if in education center or losing their contract with the client in their business.
 Conflict management- The second area of improvement which is identified from the
above reflection is of conflict management. From the reflection about it is also identified
that while preparing for the presentation and collecting all data there were conflicts
between the team members and the times they were thinking in all different directions
from one another. While we were preparing for the presentation at some point there was a
lot of conflicts between our team members and we all have different opinions and that is
one area where I need to improve my skills so that in future and in my career certificate
situation comes up I can effectively communicate and resolve all the misunderstanding
between the group so that no hurdles will be created in between the way of attaining our

objectives and motive of working in a team. A team turns to be one effective team when
all people or group members work with one another for an objective rather than for their
personal agenda.
