17A – Elevator Pitch No. 2

https://youtu.be/B9qItYdO1rY


The most useful and insightful feedback I received was the recognition for my fear tactic that I had used in my first elevator pitch. A peer told me that it grabbed their attention immediately and made my cause appear more important. With that being said, I decided to again use the same tactic in my pitch and emphasis it more the 2nd time around. I was also told that in my performance, I needed to be more serious about the beginning issues I state, so I tried changing my attitude a bit for the beginning of my pitch.

    Hey Carlos,
    Overall, I think you did very well with your second elevator pitch. Two things stood out to me as I watched it. First and foremost, I think you did an excellent job using statistics and facts to back up your claims and ultimately make your proposal stronger. Additionally, I think you did a great job connecting with the audience in a manner that helps ease the atmosphere. By connecting with the audience they will build a sense of trust with you and your ideas. Great job!

    Hey Carlos,
    I thought you did a really great job voicing your product. You had the numbers and facts displaying your knowledge about climate change. Bringing up previous events and saying how easily this could turn into a disaster was a great touch. Excellent job!

14A – Halfway Reflection

1.       To keep up with the requirements in this course I’ve developed an extroverted behavior towards talking to people. Because I’ve had to interview various people I’ve had to become more comfortable with approaching someone and talking to them out of the blue. This developed behavior has enabled me to complete the assignments with ease and look forward to the next time I’ll have to interview someone. 2.       When I first started my Business Law class this semester I was a bit put off by the fact that the only grades in the class were the 3 exams you had to take. After a month of reading the textbook and trying to grasp the concepts of law I felt overwhelmed by all the information and thought there would be no way I could pass the exam, feeling like I should give up. After talking to my sister, she put my mind right and helped me see the class as a learning opportunity and not a passing grade one. Since then I have developed a...

21A – Reading Reflection No. 2

The book I chose to read was The Art of Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users, by Guy Kawasaki. 1.     The general theme in this book is the topic of digital marketing and experimenting with the tools of social media to successfully connect to other people and grow your businesses.   2.       In ENT 3003, we learn about several ways in which we can use tools to build a business such as recording an elevator pitch and this book talks about several online tools that one can use to be successful, not only through social media but small details like “always have a signature for your emails.” 3.     Based on this book, the exercise I would implement in class is creating a business card. Kawasaki talks about how your business card should be made where scan websites would automatically pick up all your information and recognize the different details such as your number and email. 4.     The biggest ‘ah...

27 - Reading Reflection 3

I read  Steve Jobs  by Walter Isaacson, a biography about the life of the founder of Apple.  When reading this book, one thing that surprised me the most was why the name Apple was chosen for the company. While an apple grasped the concept of simplicity very well, the main reason was because it came before Atari in the phone book. I admired Steve‘s determination in getting things done the most. He always found a way to convince himself, and other, to work just a little bit longer to be the best. I least admired how Jobs treated some employees. He would be verbally abusive to people who didn’t meet his expectations. Jobs did face adversity, especially when he was fired from Apple and had to invest his money into other projects, like Pixar.  The book talks about how Jobs was described by other people. He was said to have a RDF dedication. RDF stand for reality distortion field, a term from Star Trek, meaning Steve would bend reality to his will. This all just mea...
