Yesterday I won the ice region presentation competition. The prize is about £100 and I may have the opportunity to write up my experiences and have them published.
I only entered so it would look good on my review application but I had hopes for winning. The 3 judges unanimously decided that I should be the winner.
Papa smurf was there to watching presentations (nice to have an ally in the audience) and he has a meeting with Gareth this morning...nice to know heat 'plug' me to the MD today. Shouldn't have mentioned defects in my presentation and was quite unsettled by a question from the audience on differential settlement.
I was well prepared for the presentation and knew I wad there to win. However I was still very nervous before and during the presentation (papa smurf sees this as an advantage, as does h, but I'm not to sure.
Ivelearnt that presentations, even short ones, take a lot of preparation and you can never wing it. I will never live down the embarrassment of my presentation during the smsts course when I literally fell on my arse and made myself look like a tight tit!!!!
