'Every presentation ever'

Corporate trainer - that's what I did when I left college-teaching. Every stint had a presentation, along with a whole host of stuff I had to get my hands on, to keep 25 to 30 adults 'entertained' for two whole days, between the highlight-of-their-days: the big, hotel meals!!! I'd soon tire of this - the training, not the meals -  and discover that staying home and learning how to paint was the best-est ever thing in the world, even though it meant no more money!

When my daughter sent me this video, it brought back a lot of memories for me - and I thought I'd share this part of my life with you:

  1. gosh brings back memories...I was a Career Advisor ad help people find assignment and would have workshops my first a disaster...well I read off the screen...that was one and only disaster than I got good and better and better and I had a special trick too because sometimes what the people's managers told them was opposite was I was saying, but I got a trick, first when the person is clearly annoyed, first you ask their name -incredible trick-they tell and settle down and then upon looking at her interection, could explain what the manager meant and that ir corrobated everything I said so far and Proved, I was a DIVA for 8 years...too bad I burned out oh well now I'm not to exhausted to read or to

    1. Glad you like it, Lorraine. It's good that we can laugh at ourselves, no?

      I used to teach Presentation Skills, and it was easy to point out what was wrong, what needed to be changed, how something's logic was flawed - but then, I had to do it myself and I realised that nothing is as easy as it seems :(

      But, like you, I learned. And like you, it is all behind me now!
