D1 – Evaluate interpersonal and written communication techniques.
Introduction
The most important thing when presenting is your interpersonal skills. Throughout this project I believe my interpersonal skills were good but there were plenty of improvements I could have made, I have been really successful in developing my interpersonal skills, I believe that it should be important that every student has the opportunity to improve their presentational skills or communication skills because at some point they will need it.
Unit 1 had tested my confidences and had me use a variety of interpersonal skills such as eye contact, movement, body language and my written techniques was also put to use and assessed in this unit.

Team work is the most respected attribute in an employee as I mentioned earlier in the evaluation, we were assessed on our team work. I worked with a classmate when creating the presentation. I created the slides while he did research on the topic and as our presentation was about computer components, my group member suggested that we borrow a motherboard from I.T support to support our presentation. All in all we managed to finish the presentation in less than a week, and we passed first time around, we were the first group to present in our class and I and my team member think we did pretty well. I chose to work with one person for our presentation because then it’s easier to communicate with one person and we could split the responsibility so it was easier to manage.
What I have learnt from watching others present having watched my peers/classmates presentations I have basically picked up a few do’s and don’ts while presenting. Some groups made obvious mistakes and they had to re-do the presentation, at the end of the presentation we had to assess the group which presented and then point out places for improvement. For example a few groups kept making the same mistake by facing the board and just reading of the board while others just stood there not participating hiding while other members of their group presented, there was this one incident where one group copied and pasted a text which they were unable to
Having those makes my presentation deserving more than one point that I got from the class. Regarding about using the apple during my presentation is so risky because I do not eat apples, but in order to do an effective presentation I must do it and also there is a big purpose of it and that why I have to include the apple. Next is gesture, I think I did good on moving my hands because I actually used it to express on what I am going to say. And on my visual aids, I think there is no error and I used all the high quality pictures and somehow those pictures are connected to the topic that I talked about. Lastly, my appearance, I dressed up for that presentation because of the requirements even I hate wearing professional clothes. For my perspective, I think I still deserved more than one vote, but that is my personal perspective and it already happened, so I cannot do anything with
2.1 It is self-evident that communication and interpersonal skills are crucial in the workplace. Good two-way communication is important to enable the flow of information in an effective way whether it be verbal or non-verbal. Good communication has a positive impact on the performance of the team including; everyone is clear what is expected from them, they receive good feedback and recognition of achievements which makes staff feel valued and boosts employee morale. The manager needs to be approachable and have a non-threatening manner so
I ensured whilst I made my presentation that I spoke clearly and steadily. I have a tendency to talk quickly so I paid particular attention to controlling the speed of my voice. I also ensured I maintained eye contact with my audience and tried not to focus just on one individual.
The project was about the book we read “We Are Witnesses”, we had to read the book in class and outside of class with our group members, while completing some worksheets of the main events in the story. One of the stories that I read was about a girl named Anne Frank who was with her family living in an attic with another family during World War 2. They were able to live in the attic until they were found and sent to death camps. This helped me in communicating ideas because I was able to present a project to my classmates were my group and I explained to them the story from the point of view of kids that were around our age. This also helped me with my way of presenting In front oi an audience because I'm usually nervous when I present and I speak fast, but in this presentation I was able to speak more fluently and feel more confident when I was presenting. This presentation was different from my other presentations because in this presentation I talked about the different types of life experiences little kids had to go through with their family members, it also made me more nervous because it wasn’t easy for me to talk about other people’s
As well as being a chance to incorporate individuals talents within presentation new skills and the development of existing skills. Personally I feel as though I have a good level of skill for presenting an idea however I lack in the preparation are of a presentation I prefer to present something to an audience rather than find and conduct research for a presentation. However the other people in my group were good at finding information and crafting a brief outline around the presentation. This worked quite well for our group as we had a couple of confident speakers whom brought the presentation together. Where others succeeded in producing and finding evidence to back up our stated methods in which work should be done.
Place a checkmark next to those skills that you feel you need to work on.
To analyse the presentation and teamwork I need to be able to understand everyone has different experiences and different ways of working and had their own view on teamwork. My confidence grew as I got to know the team. Giving the presentation has helped me with my confidence, which I will need when I am working in the health care. I have also learned to speak up more and encourage others to take part when they where being quiet and not pulling their weight. It was good to do research using the appropriate methods, looking at journals and professional sites. I managed to hold it together during the presentation in front of everyone. I knew the presentation was not going to go as well has it could due to the lack of practice. The reason I was so nervous was
I used a range of different features (e.g. audio, pictures, videos, etc.) to make the presentation more entertaining and to give examples of what I am talking about (for example the different eras of Hip Hop music) (Gallo 2016). I also made sure to use positive body language and hand gestures to describe what I was talking about (Edwards 2016). If I could do the presentation again I would stop my bad habits such as clicking the pen and put my hands in my pockets as it distracts the audience from the message I am are trying to get across. If I had to start this module again I would try and get more involved with the group projects and try to present something to the class at the end of every lesson. I feel that I need to learn about how to present to a larger crowd or attend some professional training to further improve and enhance my presenting skills so I am more comfortable while presenting. The next time I am presenting I can use the Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle (1988) so I can continuously critic my presentations which will help me especially in the workplace as it will help me pitch an idea of mine or presenting myself in an interview to show why I am suited for a job
Our ability to communicate well with others is important to personal and professional success. The interpersonal communications course is planned to help us in being familiar with the system of effective, and to assess our own interpersonal ability to sharpen our critical understanding of the communication, also to improve the interpersonal skills. Mainly assess our interpersonal skills and to put in goals for improving our communications ability. To development of self-concept and identity are examined as basics for understanding personal communication. We explore our own communication behaviors and to identify areas of personal strengths and
First of all, to be put in a group of individuals that I had never met or interacted with before was always going to be difficult. The process of getting to know them better and finding the strengths and weaknesses of each team member was hard at first but the more we worked on the presentation, the better we became at communicating and getting the
Your presentations skills are just as important as the information you are presenting. Presentation skills are important for every individual when you have the need to present yourself.
However, at the same time it allowed for me (as well as others) to convey problems that we or others that we know have dealt with in a format that is not only acceptable, but encouraged. I enjoyed writing the dialogue scene as I have wrote many skits and mini-plays in my past before and it was nice to finally do that for a class (although it wasn’t as happy as I would have wrote my other pieces). The group presentation went rather smoothly in my opinion and part of that was how cooperative everyone in my group was. We all tried to work off of each other’s ideas and strengths and when it came time for me to present I was able to do what I typically do for all my presentations just with an added level of
Rehearse the presentation: The performance of the other speaker showed that the presentation had not been properly prepared and rehearsed. The presentation did not flow smoothly and often the speaker had to correct the incorrect things that had been said. This was a very bad form and no audience would take their presentation seriously. Therefore, anyone who is going to do the presentation needs to rehearse it to ensure the flow of presentation is smooth and with accurate
We mainly did so by first discussing what we were each going to be discussing in our segment of the presentation and made sure that each of our segments directly related to the topic. After our discussion we began to formulate slides for each of our segments taking information and research from our papers and putting it into a bulleted form that would be easy to read on each slide. We also made sure to include images to keep our presentation interesting and captivating while also getting our point across. After we had finished our presentation and were satisfied with the information we checked it over for formatting mistakes as well as grammatical errors. Then on the morning before our presentation we ran through our presentation multiple times sorting out and issues that could make the presentation seem poor. We then delivered our presentation and completed the entirety Task
In a Learning team, presentation skills are very important. I would have to say that Presentation Skills would be one of my personal weaknesses in the Learning team. It is difficult for me at times to stand up in front of a room full of people and present a project or conduct some sort of meeting. In order to do so, you have to have confidence that what you?re talking about is accurate and the motivation to actually get up do it. My biggest fear of a presentation would be tripping and falling on my face or
