Strategy Presentation

This past weekend we completed our strategy presentation in front of our peers.  I am very comfortable speaking in front of peoples as I have to conduct presentations frequently.  My targeted audience was adolescents/young adults aged 18-21 years, and I am very comfortable with speaking in front of them as well.  Most of the adolescents/young adults I talk to are from middle class homes and are well mannered.  I have also presented talks to at-risk youth, and find that they are very receptive to me and the content that I am teaching and are very respectful.  I say this because at the beginning of any presentation for any audience I list the ground rules for behavior and how we will conduct the presentation.  For this presentation, I think I made the mistake of saying "this is informal so speak-up" without listing the ground rules first.  At times I felt that the presentation was getting off track, although I was able to discuss the topic.  Furthermore, I feel that I should have elaborated on the appearance of my presentation for my teen audience that would have made the presentation stand-out.  Overall, I think the presentation went well, but as a person who critiques everything I do in order to do it better the next time, I can probably find many issues with my presentation.
