Does this sound familiar?
It's Mandatory training today. You walk into the conference room. There is a nervous looking administrator/team leader or manager standing at the front and fiddling with a laptop at the lectern. They are scratching their head and blaming IT for the delay!
You know this one don't you? Yes, it's the time where you wish that you had a blow up pillow in your pocket before the've even started to speak! You Know already, as they start to stare into the projector light, silhouetting the presentation screen that their monotone voice and extended pauses will have you nodding off in no time! to add to it all, it's a warm summer afternoon in a room with no temperature control so now you're trying desperately not to be the one who actual starts to snore during that crucial company safety brief.
You almost feel sorry for the person at the front of the room who has no idea how to prepare a presentation, let alone deliver it to a group of people in manner to ensure understanding.
