Powerpoint Presentations

I gave my Powerpoint presentation on the businessman David Sokol. I feel like his work really represents the heart of what I want to do. I had heard about Sokol when my brother gave me a Fortune magazine and this guy was on the cover. I read about how he dabbles in the field of Mergers and Acquisitions, my favorite part of International Business.

I actually did have some fun doing this project because I liked the idea of doing a powerpoint on this cut-throat, no-nonsense goliath. I learned a lot about Powerpoint and had fun making my slides look "modern". Through the process of making the slides, I learned a lot about animation and picture-stacking. It was the hands-on part that provided the real ingraining of the education; it was a real learning experience for me. I wasn't completely happy with my performance, however. I felt like I could have made eye-contact more and I didn't need a note card (it distracted me at times).


My two favorite presentations were Hang's and Pablo's. I really liked Hang's video and thought her presentation was an overall hit. I really like Pablo's because of how well it all came together and how passionate it was. It definitely made me want to learn more about hotels (weird, I know).

Good job everyone!
