Critical Reflection on Module Learning and the Presentation Showcase

My goal for myself through this module was to understand the right time to interject my opinions, thoughts or feelings and to be more clear when communicating. In a module that required tons of ideas and teamwork, I initially struggled to be coherent in communicating with my thoughts. However, I have learnt a lot about myself through this course. Firstly, I have realised the importance of being patient when I am having conversations. Patience in waiting for what others might have to say and patience when what they have to say may not be what I want to hear. Henceforth, honing this skill will enable me to grow as a person. While it might take a concerting effort every day to pause and internalise my thoughts before speaking this will benefit me as I learn how to empathise with others and increase my span of thoughts as I become more willing to learn.

At the presentation showcase, Passion Pavers was an outstanding group whose presentation resonated with me. It was apparent that the group members understood the topic of PWD’s and their struggles when travelling. I found their topic to be unique and refreshing as while most teams chose to pick out apparent problems in the industry, Passion Pavers chose to shed light on such an important group of people whom are often neglected by hotels. All presenters in the team maintained eye contact with the audience and had a good pace while presenting. They interjected pauses and rhetoric questions to relay an impactful and emotional piece. It was apparent that both verbal and non-verbal cues were well thought out and planned to instigate thought. To tie the presentation together, their case study training video featured the L-O-V-E model clearly and the acronym enabled audience to take something memorable along with them after the presentation.
