This memo examines the strengths and weaknesses of my presentation on March 19, 2010. Additionally, the memo discusses my goals for improvement in future presentations as well as a review of the presentation by Aly Sherali. organization, voice and passion were all highlights of my presentation. This allowed me to effectively engage my audience and convey my content efficiently and logically.OrganizationTim Koegel, author of The Exceptional Presenter, explains that there are two essential facets to organizing a presentation: develop a structure that allows you to frame your goal and cover your material smoothly and looking organized for your audience (Koegel, 31-32). I structured my slides and content in a way that clarified the purpose of my presentation and covered information smoothly and logically. I also continually tried to re-engage my audience with key words and examples in my presentation. An audience member's mind is constantly going in multiple directions (Koegel, 33). My key words and personal examples gave the audience a reason to refocus on what I was saying. I also managed to follow the five elements of a great presentation outlined by Koegel. I started with a specific purpose when I explained: "I'm here to answer the question 'What is Google Wave?' » » I followed that with an objective statement explaining my program. The body of my presentation explained the situation in detail by looking at what Google Wave is and what it can do. I followed this closely with the benefits the product can offer. Finally, I finished with the next step: encouraging my audience to try the product (Koegel, 34-38).
