An afternoon in the City …

New iPhone/iPad app

I was sitting in front of the Royal Exchange, outside Bank Station in London, on a relatively comfortable wooden bench on a bright and warm afternoon waiting to meet a business colleague.

Behind me, on an equivalent bench, a man was screeching into his mobile phone, partly with enthusiasm and partly to offset the background traffic noise.

His conversation, intended to be private I am sure, resulted in him thanking the caller and then suddenly realising, in a fit of panic, that he needed to note down a contact number.

He held his phone against his jacket and called out “Anyone have a pen?”

What’s the worst that can happen?

Ready for the gig

We were invited to perform at a recent charity gig along with a few other groups and solo artists.

The prospect of standing up in front of a hall full of people provided different reactions for different members of the group.

We were looking forward to the experience but were mindful that we wanted to do ourselves justice and perform to the best of our ability and the nerves were not helping.

Checklists were prepared to make sure we had brought everything to the venue – these are “comforters” and take some of the stress away.

Regular rehearsals were programmed into our practice sessions.

A clear set list, no more, no less, reduced the likelihood of “unbudgeted” songs being encouraged by the audience.

So how did it go?

You know what it’s like, you have been invited to that meeting or interview and everything is under control.

Then you find out, at the very last minute, that you are going to be asked to prepare and deliver a presentation to the members of the interview panel or team.

Your confidence is now draining fast – how can you prepare for this!

Impressive Presentations

Giving presentations can prove an excellent way for you to publicise who you are and help you make a really good, and lasting impression.

However think about what the audience sees …..
