Once upon a time ...
I was called at short notice to make a presentation to a visiting Japanese
delegation on the activities of the Products Group which
I was heading. The
Japanese were being served back-to-back half-hour
presentations from each Group Leader. My turn came
up after lunch. I wrote 4-5
handwritten transparencies (there was no Powerpoint
then) with just bulleted half-liners, with a word in red
here and there. My Senior VP was aghast that my slides
were not “type-written”, and not detailed. "Is that
all?" and "Is that what you've got?", he asked in
despair, rolling his eyes towards heaven. Inside, facing
the stone-faced Japanese, I introduced my Group’s motto “The
Touch of the Master” with a beautiful picture of a
violin with focus on the fingers of a faceless artist, and went on to
make the presentation. During the loo-break, my colleague from
Tokyo who
knew Japanese overheard the visitors say that this was by far the best presentation of the
day! |
