Today, after we worked on our presentation to the school and Mark, the CIO of Gilead Sciences, we did a dry run presentation to Mike, one of our mentors. He gave both me and Matthew a lot of helpful tips for our presentation. Not just things about the slideshow, but also about how we, as people, present. He pointed out some of the unconscious fidgets I do while presenting and how I can fix them, and gave Matthew some pointers on how he could improve his speaking. I think this was really helpful, not just for the presentation but also for going anywhere in the future. Here’s a photo of our whiteboarding process for creating the slideshow.
