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.

A mom's brag book of her #A+mazing millennial children

None of my kids read any of my blogs so it is pretty near 100% guaranteed that it is true. However, my one daughter told me that at least one of her friends reads this blog Out of the 6 or 7 blogs that I curate and/or I write about varying topics that interest me or developed or furthering knowledge on something that grabs me. Having grown up conversations with a daughter is a new and wonderful experience. How far we've both grown from a nervous wreck of a mother, tasked with an ailing son who needed additional care and attention while she was a bright shining star, oozing with talent from every pore. A mother's gift is sometimes recognizing the gift in her children. Why else would Elvis Presley's mom have been the subject of his first recording? A miracle talent nurtured and encouraged by a mother's love. There are far too few examples shared in the world these days. SIDEBAR: (I haven't done one of these for quite so...

America's crash

Good heavens. Is the cookie crumbling? I don't know which is worse: Harvey Weinstein Charlie Sheen Donald Trump's disrespect for the office of the President What would you choose? They're all horrible [ ref tweet as @optioneerJM ]. Here starts the debate that will fuel a media frenzy churning around like the fiercest tornado or hurricane: this one being online in social media. Pull up your socks, flex your fingers, because there is no way there is any winner among the candidates. My disclaimer: I am a 56 year old gregarious mother of 4 children, 3 girls and a boy, ages 23 to 28. When I add in my son-in-law, we have 3 boys a male dog = 4 compared to 4 gals. We have to all agree on topics and set boundaries because as they grow older, they are more aware of what is going on around their world, not just in their immediate sphere. My additional disclaimer: I am Canadian. 3rd genera...

Triumph over struggle

This blog was originally written earlier today (Saturday, March 4, 2017) on my optioneerJM blog on Word Press ~ where I find an atmosphere of support and celebration of original writing among those who write themselves. It is the highest compliment any fledgling writer can have. Like most of us at the tail end of Baby Boomers while being drowned out by Millennials, we're trying to get ahead. Achieve success, notoriety or acclaim. Subsidize our career choices with our inner voices. To help others, to help ourselves. To exhaust our demons by writing and exhuming scars that life has left on our brains. Confidence or competence A struggling battle between what we want to express and be appreciated for our words. So many of us write to right the struggles we have fought, the wars we have lost, the lessons we have learned. Gratitude: pitiful compensation We appreciate the acknowledgement by others who are in chained to the commo...
