Outcome Statement: I improved my public speaking skills and ability to present my work to others by participating in weekly meetings and class presentations.


self-assessment

Rating: 1/5 - Exceeds expectations in achievement of this learning goal

When I initially set this goal for myself, I did not expect getting the opportunity to present in weekly meetings in front of the entire marketing team, COO, and CEO. I have also taken feedback from the mid-quarter check-in with my manager to speak out more during these meetings and suggest ideas. I will also be delivering more intensive presentations encompassing all of my work, but this has not been presented yet.

Some notable work experiences relating to public speaking:

  • Present during weekly marketing meetings

  • Present a startup pitch to my classmates for an original startup idea

  • Marketing meetings

    Each week, I would prepare notes going over the work that I had been doing that week to present to the rest of the marketing team. I would also ask and answer questions relating to what had been shared.

  • Startup Pitch

    As part of the final for Ingenious Entrepreneurship, we developed and presented pitch presentations for our original startup ideas. Here is an overview of some of the slides from my presentation.
