"i am what I AM" & that's YOU!

Ever shared in the discomfort of a speaker who's been told "You have ten minutes" by the host moderator? While thoughts of poor planning or preparation may come to mind, what if you heard the speaker reply "Oh, I have another hour of material" yet to cover.

-- What do you do with that? --

No matter Where and When your Career and Life find you, The Bigger 'Y' demands that you fully understand the ways in which your Professional and Personal Lives do more than co-exist. There are two easy steps that take about ten minutes to accomplish. One is to identify (or admit) to the template known as uniquely YOU. The second is to fully establish just What makes you authentically YOU at Work and Home.

Awkward Moments for Innovation ... "What AM-I going to do?"

You've likely made a few (or countless) presentations at this point in your Career in meetings, for training, and at workshops. You know the drill, audience, expectations, and time constraints. At times you've 'crushed-it' so you might attribute the example above as an anecdotal misstep by an inept Colleague.

-- But what if it was YOU?! --

Just how comfortable are you in a potentially embarrassing situation, especially if it involves Financial components for you and your business or company? You may have the best presentation ever, yet what if you're not prepared for the unexpected?

-- Just "What AM-I going to do?" --

Awkward Moments for Innovation can reveal just who YOU are to your-SELF, the #Audience, #Colleagues, #Supervisors, and #Management. To plan for the unexpected, you have to know how you responded to others you witnessed in such predicaments. To best understand How YOU will or do respond takes about 10 minutes.

Intentional Actions & Maneuvers ... "I AM" part of The Bigger 'Y'

In the real case above, the words ("another hour") came from an invited guest speaking on time management. What ..DO.. you do with that? First, consider 'things' beyond their control: a late starting session, malfunctioning microphones (or zoom/other platform issues), plus interruptions from a host of unexpected scenarios. This could have (or has) certainly happened to YOU (or eventually it will).

-- That is 'Y' you must examine how Your Opportunities are Undeterred in the daily quest (and Challenges) of your #Career #Journey. --

What is the Innovation needed to circumvent Awkward Moments? #Management of a #Mindset that creates Intentional Actions & Maneuvers in such calamities. It is to take and make moves to resolve the short term (situational awareness) with positional actions that pragmatically highlight your abilities in meeting or dispatching the unexpected over the long term. Understanding that "I AM" able to drive responses intelligently, valiantly, and effectively.

In other words, "i am what I AM" -- and that should be YOU!

While some would call this simply 'thinking on your feet' it would miss the nuances within your Intentional Actions & Maneuvers. The steps you take, and the responses you deliver, are constructed 'on the spot' containing fundamental elements of YOU. That means your Professional and Personal SELF rely upon one another to relate to and engage audiences (in missteps or unexpected events) so that they move forward with YOU at that Moment.

-- Why wouldn't it be YOU? -- You are the person presenting, representing a company, or project and that means your SELF is on the line. --

Yes, there is help online, advice columns, and coaching-for-hire that can assist in the dynamics and choreography of presentation. But besides flashy graphics, succinct text, video-pop, and standard elements...

-- What portions contain YOU? & Which template is uniquely YOU? --

Is it The Bigger 'Y' of your being hired? As the vehicle and source delivering the goods, it is your understanding that "i am what I AM" when presenting that can make or break the day. Your SELF and experiences can create regenerative Success. You just need ten minutes in your busy day to see how Work and Life are not mutually exclusive.
