Module learning: At the beginning of this module, I dreaded the thought of having to go through a trimester of learning communication skills. The idea of writing reports and delivering presentations had little appeal to me. Little did I know the great importance that effective communication holds across any profession, including engineering. For our first assignment, I've set a goal for myself to build my confidence for speaking and learn how to communicate effectively to diverse audiences. There was an assignment where we had to make pitch vodcast which kick started my development of verbal communication skills. My first recording had me reading off a script as I was not confident in giving a smooth delivery. However, feedback from others made me realise that when giving a pitch, not only the content but also the delivery and body posture of the presenter affects the effectiveness of the pitch.

Yo Dylan, here's some feedback for your pitch
ReplyDelete- The content in terms of your experiences is great and detailed, however I think you can try to link them back in more detail, as in how does it directly relate to what you can do in a company
- Your voice is kind of soft, so I think you can afford to speak up a little bit more.
- The organisation of your content is really well done, I could easily tell which parts are your points, explanations and examples respectively.
Hope you take this into consideration and good luck if you plan to repitch for the competition!
Also, easy top 10 pitch right here by Dylan.

Overall, solid pitch, hope you get top 10 for the competition:)
Thank you, Dylan, for the informative vodcast!
ReplyDeleteThe structure is good, having just enough elaboration for each point. All points are also relevant and are well explained as to how they relate to the job. Talking pace is just right and words are clearly articulated. However, during the part about NS and communication there seems to be some small errors in grammar. I think that a short conclusion to tie together the whole pitch would also make the pitch even better.
