Practice activity: What are your presentation skills now?
Present with Purpose is a course about preparing and delivering an effective presentation. Presenting is an activity that is best understood when you practice it.
Before you get into the theory of this course, make a short introductory recording using your smartphone or laptop, focusing on the points listed here. The recording will help you gauge your presentation skills as they stand currently.
Don't worry about practicing before you record. You won’t be judged or reviewed based on the recording. Spend 2 minutes gathering your thoughts, and another 2 minutes recording.
Once you're done, save the recording. When you reach the end of the course, you'll revisit this recording.
What to include in your recording
