We concluded iWeek by giving three AWESOME presentations. I was one of the presenters for my group and minutes before it was show time I started to feel the PRESSURE.
It had been some time now since I had last presented since my POL and I wasn't sure how this was going to turn out. In fact, we had changed almost our entire presentation the day before so I was pretty nervous not knowing how this will go.
Once the presentation was over I was the happiest girl. Not only had I already let go of this presentation and not worry too much about it anymore but I was happy because I felt like we had done a really great job.

The best and worst part of this project was having an authentic audience. If our presentation sucked, we would most probably me embarrased in front of parents, students, and teachers. But the best part was that this was a motivation to try and make it the best possible. Plus, having a real audience makes everything a lot more purposeful. So I take that back; having an authentic audience does not suck at all.
When the presentation concluded, we all heard positive comments about it. People had really liked our solution, our presentation and having the courage to stand up in front of around 50 students plus teachers, parents, and admin.
But, I have to admit it, it was pretty scary.
However, even days after the presentations I have kept hearing positive comments on them and this has definitely shown me that the work we did payed off. I'm excited to present something again and again to become even more comfortable when speaking. As it's written in the title: Iteration is EFFECTIVE and I agree. I wouldn't have grown that much if it weren't from all the POL's I presented, pitches, delivering a Tedtalk, and many many others. All this happened through several iterations.
