SWW 2010 Apology

This goes out to anyone who attended my SolidWorks Crashes & Slowdowns presentation. I’m sorry. I just watched the video of my presentation and I’d have to say it was, without a doubt, one of the worst presentations I’ve ever seen. Even though I was nervous as hell, coupled with the fact that I couldn’t view my notes, you, the attendee, deserved better. So it is to you, the poor attendees who sat through my rambling presentation, that I offer my apologies. I promise that I will do better in the future, should anyone ever allow me to speak again. If anyone reading this apology was at the aforementioned presentation, any constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.

The one bright spot about this apology is that I think it applies to a lot fewer people than the apology I extended at SWW ’09.

    I have watched many presentations and given more than I know. I sat in your presentation and I thought it was fine. The content was there and many followed the content fine. If it was that bad, you would have noticed people flocking for the doors. I am always more critical of my own presentations only to have people thank me after so it is true that you are usually your worst critic. Best to focus on the next and take note and react to how things went in the past. ~Lou

    Dude, don't sell yourself short. It's hard to get up in front of potentially hundreds of people and talk, even about something you know very well.

    Jeff,

    I attended your session and thought it was very informative and well presented -and damn it, don't you give up on us now! (is that from some movie -ah I digress…) you have a wonderful, natural style of presenting that does not come easily to most.

    Keep it up

    Warm regards

    Mark

    Mark,
    Thank you for saying that. Coming from a presenter of your caliber, I’m extremely flattered. Don’t worry, I don’t give up easily.
