You’ve been asked to deliver a presentation.
A presentation to the key stakeholder.
You have put hours into the preparation.
Thinking through every detail.
Selecting the right images.
Working and reworking the flow.
Weaving and telling the story.
You are ready.
And then…
The meeting before you runs over.
The hour you were allocated has just been halved.
Then it gets halved again.
There are further delays.
It’s all okay … you’ve done the necessary thinking.
You know your message.
You are ready.
You’ve got 5 minutes … Go!
