The sprint to the finish line. Instructed a junior resource at 08:30 to get something done. It’s now 4pm and the PO is still not issued. After much frustration, multiple phone calls, and last-minute scramble, the PO is issued and equipment will arrive tomorrow morning.
We write the script. We brief the speakers. I drive to meet a critical stakeholder, because without him, we’ll fail. He’s happy. He’s behind us.
We do three dry runs.
Faster! Do it like you’re in front of the audience. Don’t explain. Just speak as if you will, as if you’re on. Go! Again! Ok, good. Now, do it again.
Everything we do is based on a figment of my imagination improved and honed through show and tell with a wide group of people. I practiced my key note speech with the Toastmasters last Thursday with feedback we’re implementing today.
Budget: $3000
Days to plan: 5 days
What we do tomorrow will be recorded in front of a live audience of 50 people. The first time the company will see an in-house production with no help from external creative directors.
