What impact did my commitment or lack thereof have on the success of the activity?

Being committed to the sessions allowed me to learn the necessary skills such as storytelling techniques, using body language and how to give and receive constructive feedback. Spending time and effort going through the process of coming up with an idea for a talk and then giving it to an audience took about 3 months. Being engaged allowed me to reap the benefits of the activity, I learned transferable skills such as public speaking, adaptability and teamwork.
