Title: First Presentation to the business...
Post by: Rivkid on January 14, 2013, 13:01:08 PM
In 30 minutes!! Its only a 5 minute presentation (2 sessions - groups of about 50) but I'm absolutely bricking it!! I know I shouldn't be but I've never done anything like this before and its part of our MD's personal meeting sessions and I've only ever met him once before very briefly. Its not like me really I'm normally pretty confident but this has got me nervous - I think its because its to introduce a new initiative that I only joined last week so my knowledge on the subject is a little limited. Think I'd be ok presenting Exchange or AD lol!

Oh well wish me luck!! :)

First session done, one to go fuelled by coffee!

Went ok actually - stress levels dropping. Never looked forward to a 3 hours drive home through snow so much in my life!

Cheers chaps :)

Phew done!

Went really well although I won't lie that was proper squeaky bum time! Think that did me a lot of favours though so really glad I did it. Actually quite enjoyed the second session too once the nerves were calmer.

Two more to do on Wednesday - feeling good about those now.

As ever the more of these you do and the more confident you are about what your talking about the easier these get, so good luck for the next lot and in a few months time you'll think nothing of doing them.
