The Dragon’s Den was an interesting experience.
Watching other presenters and learning.
Some other presenters brought real energy and theatre to their pitches. In one presentation, clear effort had been put into the design quality of their PowerPoint.
Both these issues I am weak at.
I tend to rely on technical understanding of my topic which comes out as confidence and focus. Being naturally introverted, this is an effective shield.
My design is generally technical and centres on precise communication of information rather than visual attractiveness.
My pitch went OK.
The Dragons mentioned the following.
The use of the word “we”. I mean “I” but I’m (rightly) conditioned to minimise the personal “me me me”.
We discussed the challenge of communicating with primary stakeholders and the complexity therein. This was covered in previous projects also.
The Dragon’s gave some useful references to look up including Heffer International.
