Questions to consider
a. Have you ever given a presentation of any kind? Was it in English or in Dutch? What kind of presentation was it: did you have to sell something, give instructions or introduce yourself?

b. What did you find difficult and why? Would you know how to overcome these difficulties next time you are giving a presentation? What would you need to do differently?

c. Have you ever attended a network or career event? Did you tell someone there about who you are and what you do? Do you think this went well?

d. What things do you think are important when you're giving a presentation? Think of at least three things and discuss these with each other.

DIY
Come up with a new product yourself, for example an app you'd like to develop or something else you're missing in the digital world. You can read magazines online for inspiration if you want.

You're going to pitch this product. Make notes on what you want to say about your product.
