Blog 13: Lesson 2 Reflection

1. What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?

I am most proud in my Lesson 2 Presentation that I had tons of info to go into in terms of management. I successfully made time and I knew that I had a lot more info to cover, so I had to cut out a lot of content out of my presentation to prevent from going over time. Additionally, I took the presentation stage confidently and I felt my presence and info was extremely strong and insightful.

2. What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation? (self-assessment)

I believe I deserve a P on this Lesson 2 Presentation due to the fact that I had a powerful stage presence and lots of info to give on my topic, citing exact examples from my mentorship. Additionally, I felt that people actually listened to what I had to say because I wasn't boring them to death by talking monotone, therefore, I did the opposite.

3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?

My information, time, and public speaking skills worked very effectively in my Lesson 2.

4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?

Making the topic of store management a bit more creative. Granted, it's hard to make something along the lines of management creative when there's too much to it. Example, managers manage people, the students don't really enjoy being managed. So again, I would probably put more thought into my activity by making it both creative and teaching a valuable lesson in the process.

5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?

To answer my EQ, What is the most effective way to manage a store during the busiest hours of the day? My second answer would be "the proper micro-management of employees." The second answer basically means that a manager needs to make sure that his employees are working and make sure that they are motivated to work.
