When I look back to the day of presentation, I feel pretty amazed
to see that I have learned a lot from that small exercise. As it was
a group exercise, it was necessary to practice and do a lot of work
while preparing it. It required proper coordination and team work
as effectiveness of a team always leads to success. It helped me
gain knowledge about working in a team while maintaining peace
and harmony. Group members play a very crucial role in the
completion of a project; therefore, it is necessary to give equal
importance to everyone’s opinions and views. However, there was
huge work while preparing for the exercise, but it was fun and
helped me learn a lot.
Before we started the exercise, we didn’t know how much work
we will need to complete this presentation. When we were doing
the project, our opinions and views varied a lot. This happened
because we didn’t work together before. Moreover, we were not
sure about the slides we were going to prepare. I then looked into
the whole situation and listened to my team members’ opinions.
After analyzing each and everything, we came to the conclusion
regarding the preparation of the slides. We did a lot of research
and I came to learn a lot regarding the topic that was allotted to
us. I understood that while working in a team it is important to
maintain peace and harmony, which I did. At times, when
confusion emerged, I handled the situation nicely.
There were both positive and negative outcomes in those
situations. Working in a team is more productive and
more reliable along with the availability of more
resources. It helped me gain huge experience as well as
information and I came to know about team
commitment. I tried to implement new and innovative
methods which my group members happily accepted.
There was not much negativity in this, still at times; our
opinions varied which led to conflict. However, we tried
to avoid those situations as much as possible. Otherwise,
we all have worked equally and effectively for the
success of our presentation.
Practice makes a man perfect. This whole thing helped me gain much
knowledge regarding team work and commitment. From the next time, I will
be more cautious and active, which will help me improve further. The
information which I gained will contribute a lot to my personality
development. Initially, I was a bit nervous, which was a major problem
during public speaking. However, I believe that practicing more will help me
deal with it. Overall, I am satisfied with my team members and their effort,
which helped in the completion of the task nicely. I really enjoyed the whole
procedure, researching and assembling all the information. I want to thank
my fellow members and the lecturer which helped me improve my skills of
presentation.
