Being Prepared For A Presentation

Learned from my last presentation of being too relaxed and not having prepared enough, this time going in I made sure I was prepared enough to know the flow of what I was going to talk about and still being relaxed before going in. And the result was a smoother presentation which I was more satisfied about.

With new owners stepping in there are new faces and even more requirements. It was another long 4 hours of sitting through a lot of issues that may not have much to do with Brunei side. Nonetheless, it was a good experience to witness how a very new but very experienced CEO ran the meeting and pinpoint on the departments that were not up to par.

And with my dad's experience, he had us arrive earlier to meet the new head honcho and we had a good introductory chat. Just so happened that he was tasked to chairing the meeting too and I realised that had I not met him prior to this I would have been even more nervous presenting our results to him. Having met him beforehand showed me his human side and not just the title he held.

A lot of learnings and awareness throughout the day, and being prepared means a lot more now than just preparing a presentation.
