Introduction -

Introduction By: Melissa G.

I'm thrilled to start off by saying this is my last semester needed to complete and obtain my BA degree. My goals are coming together right on target!

I have already begun my readings on Presentation Zen and find the information to be very helpful and timely. Currently I conduct PowerPoint presentations for my team on a monthly basis, so being able to present the same material in a new light or a fresh developed way will help keep the team more engaged and in tune to the information being presented.

 I truly believe learning is a lifelong process and that change is inevitable. Although trial and error produces hard core feedback it may not give the fundamentals on how to give a better presentation or power point.  With that being said learning steps to prevent a flop presentation or power point will become so useful in today's business realm and industry. The key is to avoid common errors and to become intimate with the audience, meaning if the audience doesn't feel engaged, thrilled, or sold on the material, instantly change that using a different direction and continue to feel out the crowd until your  content on the exchange from the audience.

I hope to further exchange ideas, tips and guidelines that can better us all in this competitive environment, and become great presenters and  power point creators throughout our career and life.

Cheers to you all
Melissa G.
