Presentation

This morning, I did a presentation for KLL ‘s client with my colleagues. There are 3 people who were the hosts, I am the one of them. Because I am a team leader, I needed to say some opening and ending words. Actually, I didn’t prepare it enough, so I didn’t show my ability totally, even I was a little bit nervous. What a embarrassed moment.

After this meeting, I took it with my boss about this morning’s presentation. She analyzed the issues of this presentation and how to current them and how to think deeply from client’s brief, where is what I can learn. Look back to the road map of my career for this 3 years, I learned quickly, I just spend 3 years to be a senior manager. I think that it is because I always have a passion and pursue. I want to learn something everyday, which is not only about my job but also about my soft skills. So now, I found the reason, which will let me to still stay at this company. Welcome new challenges.

What a embarrassing moment it was.

After this meeting, I talked about it with my boss about this morning’s presentation. She analyzed the issues of this presentation and how to correct them and how to think deeply from the client’s needs. This is what I can learn.

Looking back at the road map of my career in the past 3 years, I learned quickly, I just spent 3 years to be a senior manager. I think that it is because I always have a passion and pursue it.
