Giving a presentation
Hayden has asked a uni student, Andrew, to give a presentation on his experiences studying economics and his plans to enter the field of economic sustainability. See what feedback Hayden gives him to help improve his presentation…
One of the organisers of the Salty Creek Community Festival, Hayden, has asked Andrew to give a short presentation at the Economics and Marketing Industry Booth about his studies, areas of interest, and potential career paths. Andrew is thrilled that he’s been asked to talk but isn’t sure his public speaking skills are up to scratch. He organises to do a practice run with Hayden as his audience.
Flip through the cards below to see which parts of Andrew’s presentation Hayden thinks need improvement and what feedback Hayden’s given him.
Hayden’s feedback has helped Andrew make some great changes to his talk for the festival. What he’s learnt will benefit him at uni, as students often have to give presentations as part of their studies. Delivering effective presentations is also a valuable skill that helps with communication in everyday life.
