I find it impressive that someone at that level was able to find the time to prepare so well. Did the techie have his valium bubble on as well? Thanks for stopping by and for the story.

She never missed a beat, describing what was on the next slide and the next while a techie dug around the podium to reboot the machine. When it came back up, we saw that the slides were exactly what she had described (including numbers) as she skipped ahead to continue the talk. No notes, and definitely not reading the talk from the margin notes in PowerPoint. Totally working without a net. Sure, she had given it before, but this was a practiced reaction. She had her valium bubble on that day! I once saw the BSOD appear on the screen in the middle of a talk by a CEO at a public forum.
