Transcript

Hi, everyone. Thanks for coming to this short presentation on our new product design. As you know, we've already redeveloped our 'Adventure' shampoo to make it more modern and appealing. And we've renamed it 'Adventure Tech'. Our market research established the target market as men in the 18–40 age range who like to be outdoors and also like technical gadgets, such as smartwatches, drones and things like that. We needed to create a bottle which appeals to that market.

So, today, I'm happy to unveil our new bottle design. As you can see, it's designed to look like a black metal drinking flask, with some digital features printed on it.

I'd like to talk you through the following three points: the key features, sizing and our timeline for production.

Firstly, you'll notice it has an ergonomic design. That means it fits smoothly into your hand and can be easily opened and squeezed using one hand. And, it looks like a flask you might use when hiking outdoors. The imitation digital displays are designed to remind the user of other tech devices they may have, such as a smartwatch or smart displays in their home.

I'd now like to tell you about the sizes. It comes in two sizes: the regular size and a small travel size. The travel size is the same type of design – a flask, also with imitation digital displays on the bottle. We were thinking of starting with one and following with the travel-size in a few months, but we've worked hard and both are ready now.

Finally, I'm going to talk to you about our timeline for production. You've probably heard that we're launching in two months. In preparation for that, we're starting the marketing campaign next month. You can see the complete overview of all phases in this Gantt chart.

In summary, the bottle's been designed for men who like adventure and technology, and it comes in two sizes. The marketing campaign is starting next month and we're launching the product in two months.

OK. So, any questions? Feel free to also email me for further information in case we run out of time.

Improving your presentation skills is the best investment you can make in order to advance in your professional and academic lives. In this course we will go over some of the best practices, tips and advice to improve your performance when it comes to speaking in public in the form of a presentation. We go over a wide range of techniques you can use to get better at your presentations. This includes the importance of preparation and practice before your presentation. We talk about the importance of arriving early so you can adjust to your surroundings and also to have that chance to meet & greet with the audience. We talk about ways in which we can transform those nerves and negative energy into positive enthusiasm by using positive visualization and mindset. Also, we highlight the importance of being adaptive to the environment and change plans if needed since you are the one in charge. We will also discuss why it is important for you to work on developing a personal speaking style as opposed to copying someone else. We will talk about ways in which we can keep the audience engaged by using a bit of humor and questioning effectively. Also, we will discuss how personal storytelling is a very useful way of improving your presentations and engaging the audience. Besides these topics, we will cover various other topics like staying hydrated, exercising, eating and sleeping well before the event.

  1. My last presentation was five months ago.  I did a presentation for the colleges at working. It was about time management. The time was limited, and I had to go a little faster to leave some time for questions.Every group had to choose a certain subject to present to our instructor. It was a good experience for me because I used to do presentation activities since my school period. I felt a bit nervous at the beginning of the presentation, then I managed to do it comfortably.the time expected to finish the mobilization, and other details.

The last time I had a presentation was when  I participated in the entrance exam for a Japanese graduate school. At that time, I had to prepare my presentation from A to Z, and then present it during an online interview with professors. As a result, I did very well on my presentation and passed the entrance exam. It was an amazing memory that I will never forget.

The last time I made a presentation was to my students. I prepare presentations for every lesson to deliver smooth teaching to my students.

The last presentation was about internet safety. In my presentation, I embedded images, text, and some short quizzes from the British Council website.

The last time I had to give a presentation was in the final year in my medical collage. It was about gastroenteritis bleeding. It was definitely a scientific presentation. We were divided into groups in our class. Every group had to choose a certain subject to present to our instructor. It was a good experience for me because I used to do presentation activities since my school period. I felt a bit nervous at the beginning of the presentation, then I managed to do it comfortably.

The last time I had to give a presentation was one month ago. It was about my advances over the semester on my research project that I´ve been working on during the last year. It went very well. People said to me that they like the way I explained all the topics. That´s a win for me.

The last time I had a presentation was about two months ago, at the end of a general teaching stuff with the Principal. He introduced the topic I should had present as training responsible and it was future teachers' training classes. I expalined the stuff that I had organized different classes concerning two school projects and the fact that they would involve them as students. Three courses were planned and they had to be realized in June.
