Bosses were in a good mood and that's a plus :)
I was not too bad ...... but there's definitely room for improvement. Something which I can work on. I also notice that I don't stick to my script/lines and there's no such thing as overly prepared!!
Guess those are my takeaways :)
Am just glad that it's ALL OVER..

The One Thing I Hate
I hate public speaking.
I can be loud and I'm loud, most of the time...... but deep down, I am really an introvert and extremely shy. Honest. But whenever I reveal this to any of my friends, none of them believe me!!!. They do not see it as a problem as they know I can pull it off. But how I loath doing it as well as the risk of looking stupid for saying the wrong things ..... Am I making sense here?? !!!!
So I usually go to the extreme to avoid public speaking. However, for the past few years, I have been forced to do public speaking on a few occasions. While I may look alright, I was melting and dying inside of me. I am fine to conduct meeting though but no public speaking.
However, tomorrow, I will need to do a 5-minute presentation to my bosses. All I have to do is to explain that 1 slide......1 miserable slide which I have staring for the past 2 days making corrections after corrections, adjusting the fonts size and God knows what else. Most people will find this a breeze but why am I so nervous?
Since the presentation is 18.5 hours away and I have a co-presenter, there's nothing to worry about and it's also way too early to panic. But I am starting to feel butterflies in my tummy.
I read somewhere that it's a good sign. Hm....I think I better go and work on that 1 slide again.....I think it need a teeny weeny adjustment somewhere. Once done, I will stare at it again and when the presentation is over, I can even reproduce that 1 slide in my sleep.
I will definitely post the outcome of the presentation tomorrow and fingers-crossed. All will be well.
