Episode 69: On The Spot
A) Why are you in such a bad mood today?
B) Sorry, I had a really bad day at work.
A) What happened?
B) Well, To put it in a nutshell I was in a meeting with one of our most important clients and the boss totally put me on the spot. I was sitting there listening to him make our sales pitch, when suddenly out of the blue, he said that I would now be discussing the financing for the project. He never told me that I would be talking about the financing, He said that he would handle everything.
A)What did you do?
B) I must have had the deer in the headlights look on my face when I stood up to speak. After a very shaky beginning, I was able to get my feet under me and deliver a pretty good presentation. The thing that made me really livid was that after the meeting, my boss acted like nothing out of the ordinary happened. I learned my lesson today. From now on, I’ll always be ready because you never know when things like this are going to happen.
