Remember those presentations I spent so long pontificating about recently?
Well for the next 2 days – inbetween a plethora of speakers – I’m going to be stuck in a corporate hotel board room, presenting them to a bunch of people who probably would rather be somewhere else.
And you know what … I don’t blame them because I’d rather be somewhere else too.
That’s not because I don’t like what I’ve written – I do – it’s because the conference is about a subject matter that …
1 While the concept is pretty interesting, it is not … in my opinion … as genius as everyone keeps thinking [or telling everyone] it is
2 Is happy to ignore the issues that I believe are critical to achieve what they want [By this, I mean the conference is ignoring them, not the philosophy]
You see I just can’t present something I don’t believe in which is why I took so bloody long to write the soddin’ things.
OK so I pontificated abit … but the real issue was trying to find a way where I wouldn’t feel mentally and morally ‘violated’ whilst also keeping the conference organisers from thinking I’d [totally] fucked them over.
I think I have succeeded, I’ll let you know on Thursday, haha!
[I’ll post daily ‘interesting ratings’ to keep you in the loop]
And if you are wondering WHY I would present at a conference I am not totally enamoured with – all I will say is that at some point in our lives, we all have to pay the piper, ha! [Are your ears are burning Chris, Andy and George! 🙂 ]
