00:00:09.273 --> 00:00:14.140
Job Task: Make effective presentations
to communicate new ideas

00:00:14.695 --> 00:00:20.067
Question: Tell me how you built a specific

00:00:20.416 --> 00:00:24.693
Tell me how you built a specific
presentation for a challenging audience?

00:00:25.082 --> 00:00:30.065
Well, let's see. A challenging audience.
Ah.. Okay.

00:00:30.099 --> 00:00:34.385
Once, I had to summarize what was learned
in a Communities Of Practice Seminar

00:00:34.410 --> 00:00:39.304
for Senior Management. My personal
challenge I felt was that was,

00:00:39.528 --> 00:00:41.749
well make it or break it for my career.

00:00:41.844 --> 00:00:46.027
I was alone in a room with 5 of the most
powerful people in our organization.

00:00:46.170 --> 00:00:49.378
But, at the same time, I had the
opportunity to get them to move us toward

00:00:49.379 --> 00:00:51.796
a more efficient learning organization.

00:00:52.096 --> 00:00:55.488
So, I overcame my anxiety
through preparation.

00:00:56.428 --> 00:01:01.064
Over a two-week period I boiled the information
down to what I called the CORE ideas

00:01:01.089 --> 00:01:04.303
Concept, Opportunity,
Results,and Evaluation.

00:01:04.723 --> 00:01:09.361
I, ah ,I introduced each topic
with two minutes of information

00:01:09.386 --> 00:01:13.691
followed by a key question for the group.
It generated a lot of discussion and

00:01:13.961 --> 00:01:16.698
I'm happy to say that my
voice cracked only once but

00:01:16.699 --> 00:01:19.116
my palms were sweaty the whole time.
