Getting Ready for an Important Demo
I just got an email from our project manager about a demo he's set up for the COO. The email included a response from the COO about the significance and importance of this project, and how it'll play into the long-term plans for this place. It's pretty scary to think of.
So all of a sudden, I'm feeling that same pressure to perform that I have felt for 16 yrs in Finance. It's the first real demo with this level of visibility since I've joined The Shop, and while it might be ho hum for a lot of the guys, for me, it's the "first impression" this guy is going to have of me and my additions to the team. It's not life-or-death, but it's important, and I want it to go well.
So I'm a little nervous… So many things to get finished and in place for the demo… it's not like we'll have time to run through it before time, it'll be wing-it all the way.
Yikes!
