39 minutes until the Big Presentation.

I have absolutely no idea how this is going to go. The first half will be straightforward and potentially a little boring. It’s data presentation and discussion. The second half is totally open and can go anywhere. I’m happy but nervous to be doing it this way. It’s the moments leading up to the start that are hardest. The truth in presenting, for me, is that some days you’re on, and some days you’re just not– you’re slower and the words don’t come as easily as you’d like. The nervousness is just about not knowing which way it’ll be.

Will debrief when it’s over.

UPDATE:
Destroyed it.

I had the complete attention of the entire room from start to finish and found myself in the zone very quickly. It was fluid and concise.  The main criteria for victory was leaving them with new perspectives. I left the room while people stayed and continued to talk about what I had presented. That’s victory.

Time for coffee. And a celebratory donut.
