"Two" Presentation: Effective Communication

Today Jess and I presented on the topic of effective communication. I think it went really well. We had some fun activities this time and had a lot of discussion. I also felt more comfortable presenting this material than any other material I’ve presented recently, which might be due to the fact that I knew the information well, but it is also because I feel more comfortable with the people in the class. It’s cool to actually know your audience well and be able to prepare something specifically for them. I’ve never really been in a class where I know all of the people in it, so it is a different experience than any I’ve had before while presenting. I also felt confident and I think that is partially due to the fact that I didn’t read off of the slide notes as much as I usually do while presenting.

Overall I had a lot of fun with this topic and even learned some new things! I learned a lot about the importance of communication especially in hospital settings. I knew that it was incredibly important to the smooth running of any facility, but I didn’t realize how influential different types of communication can be in each situation. I learned a lot about the appropriate use of each type of communication and how to be a more effective communicator. This information is definitely something that I will be able to implement into my personal and professional life. Thanks to all my peers for being so interactive!
