Arlington, TX - Photo for Webinar Powerpoint Presentation
February 14, 2014
I pasted the heads of our leadership team into cupid bodies and sprinkled them throughout the Powerpoint slides for our Everyone Update webcast today. We're forever looking for little ways to keep our virtual company connected. I'm always never sure I can survive this job because I am what Glen described the other day as touchy feely. [bxA]
At lunch I told my CEO that the cupid slides are an example of the virtual vacuum that sucks the life out of me. I create something meant to humanize a humdrum webcast that we present to an audience on "mute." The only indication I got that my silly effort was worth the sleep loss, was an an early morning email from my CEO asking Glen & me, "Can we add a graphic
to the IT Update slide? It's boring."
In response to my vacuum issue he told me, "Yeah, a lot of people have problems presenting public webcasts because there is no audience response or interaction." Our company has been presenting twice-weekly public webinars to technology users for many years.
We don't know what to do about me so we changed the subject to choosing the venue for our annual company trip. This year we're taking everyone to the Caribbean, either St. Martin or Jamaica. Since I'm the finance person, people question me about the extravagance, but I am in agreement with the CEO on this. We must invest in connection. In person. On site. Every now and then.
