The art of powering on
It’s every speaker’s worst nightmare. You’re in the middle of a presentation in a room full of hundreds of people when you realise you’ve got the wrong presentation.
This was the fate that befell Michael Birkin, global chief marketing officer of Acer, during his presentation at Global Marketer Conference in Sydney this morning.
The first sign that something was wrong was when slides featuring his rivals Lenovo and Apple appeared.
Halfway through Birkin realised his mistake and acknowledged that it wasn’t the right presentation.
But as the Twitter streams shows no-one minded too much.
Dr Mumbo is pleased to report that like all good showmen Birkin powered on and received rave reviews from the audience regardless.
Nice work.
It would have been nice to find a video of the preso. I’m noticing that these days many people have good presentation skills or they must if they want to advance their careers. It’s great to have access to such presentation video content. Any good Youtube channels you can recommend for keeping up with memorable presos by business people?
