I had to talk about the project that I am on (creating a new database for the management information system). I had done a presentation before and then I relied on my acting skills. Despite the acting, I spent quite a bit of time preparing it in the way that I have seen others make similar presentations. The presentation at the last team meeting, given by my colleague, went well – she used PowerPoint and I decided to use it. I decided that a good presentation comes from good planning and having all the figures that anyone might request so I spent a long time in the preparation and I went in feeling confident. However, I became nervous when I realized they were all waiting for me to speak and my nerves made my voice wobble. I did not know how to stop it. Early on, I noticed that people seemed not to understand what I was saying despite the PowerPoint. Using PowerPoint meant that people received my presentation both through what I was saying and what I had prepared on the slides. In a way that meant they got it twice but I noticed that Mrs. Shaw (my boss) repeated bits of what I had said several times and once or twice answered questions for me. This made me feel uncomfortable. I felt it was quite patronizing and I was upset. Later my colleagues said that she always does it. I was disappointed that my presentation did not seem to have gone well. I thought about the presentation for several days and then talked with Mrs. Shaw about the presentation (there was no-one else). She gave me a list of points for improvement next time. They included: putting less on PowerPoint; talking more slowly; calming myself down in some way I also have to write down the figures in a different way so that they can be understood better. She suggested that I should do a presentation to several of the team sometime next week so that I can improve my performance. This account is descriptive and contains little reflection. The account describes what happened, sometimes mentioning past experiences, sometimes anticipating the future – but all in the context of an account of the event. There are some references to Marianne’s emotional reactions, but she has not explored how the reactions relate to her behavior. Ideas are taken on without questioning them or considering them in depth. The account is written only from Marianne’s point of view. External information is mentioned but its impact on behavior is not subject to consideration. Generally, one point is made at a time, and ideas are not linked. (From Moon, J. (2004).
