Of Procrastination and Knowledge
I flew up to Seattle... presentation in front of customers Friday. I promised to "practice" the presentation on Thursday night but I didn't really. I mean, I thought about it an awful lot. I edited the deck... and I thought some more... but not once did I actually "practice" the presentation. And I was better for it. I wasn't nervous and I just wanted to talk about this subject that I love and, more importantly, that I really know.
It was fun. I loved it. I got my scores after, 9 out of 9 from all customer attendees and all account team attendees except for one guy... he gave me a 7. This experience made me realize that I have to find a way to digest the rest of the presentations I'm supposed to give. To make them as equally an "easy conversation" as this particular favorite topic is. It isn't that the other topics are less compelling, they just don't ignite my fire in the same way.
I have two presentations on Tuesday. I am hoping that the Presentation God Blessings continues.
The last few days in Seattle have been... interesting. Remarkably peaceful and energetic but with a definitive edge of resistance to them. The resistance is that gut feeling of discomfort... that something may not be quite right. It was a great weekend though... ready to push into this week and get on with it. I finally feel like life is moving forward, like the path is showing some tread... without really caring about the scenery.

Life may indeed be moving forward, but the scenery of the present is no less important.
