My short memory, dyslexia and speech problems did not help me perform well in presentations at the beginning of my study when I started my adult student life in 2017. The only reason for fear was my uneasiness about what people would think if I missed pronouncing any words as my dyslexic attitude of reading words differently or if my head goes blank. My presentation grade was not satisfactory. I was upset, but that did not stop me from going forward.

For the last four years, with continuous practice, I received an award from our graduate school last year, and I continuously developed my skill set to be more accurate and perfect.

I still struggle for the first time if someone asks me to do an elevator pitch instantly, even though I completely understand the subject. My brain does not help me understand a simple topic in the first couple of minutes, but I can manage and deliver with confidence when I process it.

We had our Help to Grow:Management, University of Portsmouth, last session this week, and we have to present an elevator pitch to my group. I was not performing well, and my teammates helped me prepare, even though they understood I was not good at presenting. Thank you to Simon Lamb, Andy Jay, and John Bland for helping me to construct an elevator pitch. Thanks to Becky Lodge BA (Hons) CIM and Peter Hooley for this fantastic session.

Thank you to Julia Martin, Leonie Bishop ACMA, Tanya Whelan, Stuart Mullen,  Richard Coles, Ally Bland, Lyn Grenyer, Jonathan Thornton, Matt Greg, and Stewart Andrews for your contribution to the discussion.

Thank Dan Lodge, Shermin Choban, Joseph Watts, Paula Grundy, and Leah Lewis for your support.
