<b>REFLECTIVE ESSAY ON EXPERIENCE IN PRESENTATION SKILLS </b>

After the presentation on “Financial Literacy in the Digital Age: Empowering Financial Independence”, I have come to realize the profound impact that this topic has had on both my personal growth and my understanding of the financial world. The preparation and execution of this presentation have been transformative, equipping me with essential insights and skills that were previously underdeveloped. This reflection delves into the key points I have learned, the limitations I have observed, and the empirical applications of my experience.

The key points I have learned from this task include understanding basic financial concepts, delving deeper into the subject, revealing a multifaceted landscape, and applying financial theory in practical activities. When my team prepared this topic, I had the opportunity to gather information and survey many sources, which allowed me to attain a deeper knowledge of financial literacy and independence. To be ready for the presentation in front of 33 classmates, I not only needed to know the definition of the topic but also understand related issues such as budgeting, saving, and the importance of avoiding debt. Furthermore, discussing a financial topic requires the speaker to consider multiple perspectives since financial literacy encompasses a wide range of considerations. By examining these different facets, my team and I can provide a balanced view that equips the audience with the knowledge to make informed financial decisions. One practical method I learned is the 50/30/20 rule, which helps me prioritize needs over wants by allocating 50% of my income to necessities, 30% to discretionary spending, and 20% to savings and debt repayment. Additionally, setting specific financial goals, such as building an emergency fund or saving for a major purchase, is crucial. Utilizing digital financial tools, such as budgeting apps and robot advisors, helps me stay organized and make informed investment decisions. These practical methods have empowered me to take control of my finances and work towards financial independence.

My perception of presentation skills has changed significantly after completing this project. Previously, I focused on conveying as much information as possible without considering what the audience needed to know, and I believed

finishing this presentation, this project taught me the importance of selecting a suitable topic that resonates with the audience and engages their interest. I learned to capture attention using techniques like concentration charts to maintain focus and gauge engagement. Understanding the necessity of connecting with the audience by addressing their needs directly, I now carefully select information to ensure it's significant and practical, rather than reiterating what they already know. Additionally, I realized that a good presentation includes not only visual aids but also a well-structured ideas with clear signposts and transitions, guiding the audience through the content effectively.

Despite newfound awareness and enthusiasm, limitations surfaced during the session. Choosing a topic beyond our expertise led to uncertainty when discussing financial independence, as we lacked personal achievement in this area. This, combined with insufficient evidence, weakened our arguments. Additionally, a lack of interaction and risk management hindered audience engagement, providing few opportunities for participation. The complexity of the topic left the team unable to effectively address audience questions. To improve future presentations, we should focus on choosing topics that align with our knowledge and experience, ensuring we can speak with clarity and confidence. This alignment will help us present more convincingly and handle audience queries better. Gathering comprehensive evidence and data to support our arguments will also enhance the credibility of our presentations. Additionally, incorporating interactive elements like Q&A sessions, games, and case studies can make the presentation more engaging and encourage active participation from the audience. Finally, prioritizing audience feedback will provide valuable insights for tailoring future presentations to meet their needs and address any potential challenges more effectively. By implementing these strategies, we can create more impactful and engaging presentations that resonate with our audience.

The empirical applications of my experience with financial literacy in the digital age extend to both personal and community levels. Personally, the insights gained have empowered me to make more informed financial decisions using digital tools such as budgeting apps, online investment platforms, and cryptocurrency exchanges. These tools have not only streamlined my financial management but also opened new avenues for building wealth and achieving financial independence. On a broader scale, this knowledge allows me to advocate for financial literacy within my community. By sharing my experiences

and promoting the use of digital financial tools, I can help others navigate the complexities of modern finance, thereby fostering greater economic empowerment. Additionally, organizing workshops and discussion forums can further disseminate this knowledge, creating a more financially literate and independent community. Thus, the practical application of my experience lies in enhancing both individual and collective financial well-being through education and technology.

In conclusion, the journey of self-reflection following the presentation on “Financial Literacy in the Digital Age: Empowering Financial Independence” has been transformative. It has not only expanded my understanding of financial concepts but also catalyzed a paradigm shift in my approach towards money management. While there are inherent limitations and challenges, I am committed to leveraging this experience as a catalyst for personal growth, continuous learning, and advocacy for financial literacy empowerment in the digital era.
