It is so simple…a fifth grader can do it. So why do I have such a hard time remembering
what to bring to my presentations..even after 2 years of doing it? Jill created her famous CheckList. She has a list for everything: shopping, travel, Costco, Target, Christmas,Things To Do, etc. EVERYTHING.
At first, I said “Don’t be silly. I don’t need a CheckList.” But, she still prepared one for me “just in case.” And I am glad she did. I only had 5 things to remember…and I forgot the slide show! How could I do that? I was proud that I remembered the Speaker Introduction, my water, the speakers, and iPad….but I forgot the slide show. Fortunately, we didn’t leave and Jill quickly handed me her CheckList, which you will see below. Now, every time, I go over the CheckList. Each time (and I have given over 100 presentations) I say “thank you so much for doing this for me.” Jill is a star! She just smiles.
