July 28, 2009 – practice for presentation
Well, the day has been long. The time has been worth it.
We practiced for a long time on our presentation for tomorrow. Tomorrow’s presentation is a dry-run for a few people. The dry run is basically a practice before we do the real deal in from of entire company. The Case Competition has been fun, a lot of work, and worth it. I enjoyed the rehearsal time today with one of my Mentors, Troy. The one-on-one time was only because one of the other team members went back to work and the other member left the room because we sort of had a misunderstanding.
The misunderstanding is hard to explain. Basically one person said something to me. I said something back. The other person took it wrong. I said something back and the other person walked away. Well, that is how misunderstandings go.
But, we are able to keep working together. That is one of the benefits of the experience. You think you have patience for people and then it is put to the test. Then you have to decide if you are going to keep that patience going. There is something so important about stepping back and just letting the good happen. Don’t let impatience get in the way of building bridges. Don’t let impatience or judgements get in the way of you being taught by other people. When be teachable is more important, take it.
Anyway that is some of the deep thoughts from me today.
