Last Wednesday I was tasked with the role of moderator for
our class presentation. We presented on Carl Jung’s travels, based on
presentations we had given in our class. For me this was a stressful task, since
I’m usually not very good at managing group projects and less so coordinating
time, presentation, order and such matters (I manage to be very organized when
I attend my work on my own). Non withstanding, I believe that this was a truly
enriching experience to my personal and professional persona. I needed to speak
in front of students, professors and other people who were invited to the
event. This would help me overcome my slight fear of presenting in front of
large audiences, but I won’t lie it’s intimidating to speak in front of crowds.
Additionally, since I’m studying marketing I appreciate experiences like this
to be able to overcome fears like this one and grow in my journey. Also, this experience brought me closer to my
fellow classmates (specially, the four presenters) as I needed to communicate
with the presenters and other classmates to be able to coordinate the
presentation.
In regards to the presentation, it was being presented in amphitheater
3 at the DMN building. This is a beautiful amphitheater, which is very pleasant
in every regard, but it has no cellphone signal. Which could be regarded as a
good thing as you are able to concentrate on what is being presented. When I
arrived I discussed with my group members and prepared the PowerPoint, so
everything would go according to plan. The presenters would sit down, panel
style, and I would be standing on the podium presenting each member and our
presentations. Also, I was in charge of changing slides for the presentation.
In the end, I opened up for questions and we had a resounding amount of
questions from our classmates. Even Dr. Pittmann contributed to the discussion
and made our panel discussion on Jung even more appealing to the people that
were present at the conference. Overall,
it was a very enriching experience and I’m very thankful for my group for being
as collaborative as they were.

I'm glad this was an enriching experience for you, and in all honesty I could not tell you were nervous at all even if I'm sure the experience was nerve-wracking not just for you but the presenters too. It truly was an entertaining time and amazing to see all of our groups presentations brought together in this conference. It offered a new perspective on everything and offered a link through all of Jung's travels. Furthermore, you were an excellent moderator and looked professional. Kudos to you and the presenters.
ReplyDeleteYou did well as a moderator. I'd hire you. Hahaha. It's nice to see you learned something from this experience. Yeah, the amphitheater is cool but the lack of cellphone signal is frustrating. Anyways, I think we did a great job and you coordinated really well so congrats to you and the others for a job well done.
