Pointing out presentation pitfalls

Do you have any horror stories you relive constantly over the presentation that went haywire?  I am failing superbly at staying within MINDFULness, the latest phenomenon not quite realized.  (remember April 2015 when I predicted on my blog OptioneerJM that adult coloring was going to catch on and why you should too?)

What disastrous presentation can you never forget or let yourself go on? Me? I did some reflection upon creating powerpoints and how this is a skill that I have under developed while critical in my lifelong learning journey, prevailing self-development, knowledge junkie crutch and continual improvement ......

 I've been spending some time self-critiquing on Powerpoint savviness ... or not?   READ more: https://optioneerjm.blogspot.ca/2016/10/powerful-points-on-powerpoint.html

Power points

This actually got me thinking. MicroSoft's "Power Point" or better known by acronym .ppt (especially helpful for the 140 character limitations of Twitter) is its own noun.

A symbol of "arriving" completely and totally in the History Books as a true innovator.  

I'll do some more checking into this and report back later on.

The interview police

There are so many great websites, blogs, articles, books out there that capture the interest of job hunters or career seekers. You are given advice on your resume, your attitude and how to behave at the interview. Yet while there are so many of these sites that offer interviewers advice, where are the interview police? Well, I guess between Google searches, Linked In and other sources, one can easily find out a lot about a prospective employer. Distaste can be quick and immediate if one has a poor interview experience. That being that the interview was unprofessional, disrespectful and disengaged. I don't think that many companies assess what they are doing about their hiring practices and how they may be treating prospective employees. That is likely a major oversight that only is rectified when the job market switches positions: from a buyers market perspective of employee recruiting to a sellers market from those seeking employment.

A long dark tunnel

As my chest tightens I battle the thoughts trying to invade me. Which is worse? The memories or the fear of the future? Watching a wedding yesterday torpedos me back to memories on how I ended up marrying him. After years of uncertainty, we seem to blend and melt into a family plot of four children from the other's previous marriages. Symbols of failure which expound so much joy, proving that the cup is really half full. Feeling failure is probably not unique to the mid life crisis era of those begotten to be forgotten. Yet there are so many others who can expell and expand into the world as one of the greats. It doesn't seem like any of the greats didn't feel failure. That chest heavy, air sucking the wind out of you until you're almost breathless, while the brain churns. That is probably a really good description of the feeling of failure. Watching the kids all have a great time, the parents still symbols of a pe...

Testing ... reDEFINING

Postings on the Edge a twist of words as reference to Postcards from the Edge. Kindred spirits join the journey. But first, you need to begin with me firstly by watching "Bright Lights" with Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds Take in the poignant moment when Carrie visits her dying father, Eddie Fisher, with more forgiveness than any one I've ever known. Compassionate creatures enveloped from the vessels of "Singing in the Rain" fame, Debbie Reynolds, and her daughter "Princess Leia" Carrie Fisher who wrote "Postcards from the Edge" starring Shirley McClain and young upstart Merle Streep. I watched this this afternoon after taking the HUNKster's suggestion of HBO's "Bright Lights" last night when we returned home after sharing a hearty dinner with great friends. Quality overpowers time every time Suggesting quality is not defined by length of time spent together, but in the value and peaceful-ness ...
