I presented a topic on my company's Multimedia Educators' Conference yesterday. All preparation for this conference presentation paid off. All went well and feedbacks has been positive. :)
My Training Manager approached me to speak during the conference in Febuary. I was reluctant not because of stage fright but because I am new to the company and this job. (I was only 5 months to the job then). After his assurance and my Admin Manager's encouragement, I took it up.
The intense preparation started about a month ago when all speakers meet at HQ for a meeting then later at the conference location for a rehearse. The week before the conference, I am occupied with fine-tuning the slides and constant reherse. This was done on top of my busy schedule in school as well as my studies at UniSA.
The day before the conference, Sunday, I spend the whole full day studying at Kaplan City Campus. That night, I worked till 2am for final preparation. Waked up at 5am to prepare to go out as I need to meet the trainers for breakfast at 7am then reach the conference location at 8am. Finally, the conference started at 9am and I presented my topic at 11am.
Had a tiring day. By the time I reached home at 7pm, I am dead tired and fell asleep immediately after dinner. I did it!!! I have presented in a conference of 80 participants! It is an achievement!!! Gratefult to my Training Manager for the opportunity and my Admin Manager for the encouragement! :)
Here are the slides to my presentation:
