Reflection of Final Presentation

First of all, I wanna say final presentation was fun!:)
I wanted to and should have researched more, but I'm happy if many of my section mates knew that it's good to smile.

To say only one thing I could complain about some presentations, I didn't feel good to hear Japanese :(
Mr. Kitashiro did this too, but I think there were many situations that the speaker didn't need to use Japanese.
That's too easy.
Although my English vocabulary is really poor, I can explain a word to let people understand its basic idea.
I tried not to use Japanese, and that's not really difficult if I don't cling to be perfect:)



I only emphasized that smile is contagious and effective to be infectious, to make my presentation somehow related to leadership, but smile is really good to ourselves.
It makes ourselves healthy mentally and even physically.


I only prepared about 10 slides of powerpoint for my presentation (probably other than intro and ref, that was only 7 or 8), but I felt that 10 min.s were too short.
I must have prepared more, since I got nervous easily especially when speaking English.



This is some reflection to others' presentation...

Above all, I liked SakaJun's presentation the most!
because that was a really good encouragement to me and really a concrete topic.

I'm really bad at imagination, so I can't really understand a presentation when its content is vague ( so as Shackelton's one. I often say "So what should I do then?")

That's one reason why I chose such a narrow topic "smile" though Ken advised me to give a presentation about optimism.


Also, I often compare myself to others.
As I wrote in the beginning of my blog, I experienced a leader many times.
But each time, I tried to imitate the former leader, just focusing on not destroying the traditions built in the past.
I didn't have much problems, but that was just tiring (to borrow SakaJun's word, I deceived myself.)

So that was a topic of such a strong message, "DISCOVER YOUR AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP."

自分らしく:) (authentic)



Also, I was happy to hear from several people, that when teaching juniors, it's important to MOTIVATE them, letting them do things voluntarily.
I'm considering to become a teacher (probably of junior-high or high school), and I was basically thinking of how I can apply to education as I listened to this class.

and I believe that it's really important to let students do things voluntarily, not because teachers force to.


Now I'm quite sure that it's true.
