Questions you have
with which your colleagues may be able to provide help and support.
I must admit; I am extremely nervous. Does anyone else
have this same anxiety? If so, what are some ideas on how to overcome
presenting your advocacy plan to others. I believe I will be will prepared and organized but it
is the ‘facing’ the targets that has me a bit nervous.
Resources and
information you are seeking
I think I feel confident in the resources I have so far.
I fully believe in my advocacy plan which motivates me to confirm my resources
as well as seek additional information from my peers and mentor.
Resources and/or
information you have found helpful and insightful
My mentor throughout this class has been exceptional. She
has provided valuable insight toward my plan and has encouraged me along the
way. This reminds me how important it is to use peers as resources.
I can truly say you are not alone. I am feeling the same way, this assignment has taken me out of my circle. But all the same time I feel good doing it. That good you feel confident. Sometime I feel confident and on the other hand I’m nervous. Me, I just want to do well!
ReplyDeleteI used to get very nervous about presenting to groups. I use this tactic to help me . I practice in front of a mirror a few times and during the presentation I focus on one person in the audience I know well such as a colleague . Then once the jitters subside I scan the audience and pick several people and speak to them as if they are the only people in the room. I hope this helps. Just remember they came to hear you speak because they value what you have to teach them. They came voluntarily! Smile during your presentation! : )
ReplyDeleteI am anxious about presenting my advocacy plan also. But, I am more worried that it wont be accepted with "open arms" by the staff. You are very fortunate to have a good mentor. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteRemeber how important your advocacy is. This may help you in presenting. You have mentioned before how passionate you are about your topic. Use this as a springboard for your presentation. The more you believe in your efforts the better. Also the more knowledgable you are the smoother the presentation should go.
