Has anyone here led a meeting in real life (not on zoom)? My team is going back to in person, and I have a presentation of my initial analysis coming up. Do I stand up in front and use a laser to present the slides? Or is it usually a sit down around the table sort of thing?

If it’s a team-only meeting, I’d usually sit and present. When clients are involved sometimes a more formal standing presentation makes more sense… somewhat context dependent IMO

Yeah this is a hard one to answer without full context. Based on what OP said, I’d say sit. But tbh I always just wing it and sometimes end up standing halfway through anyway (especially if it’s collaborative where I’m facilitating and there’s a whiteboard available).

Depends on the audience. Smaller audiences, sit at the table. Larger audiences, stand at the front.

Yes, and it depends on the situation, audience, and norms for your team/company/client.

Its been so long, I have forgotten how to present in person. Presenting on a computer screen for past 18 months, I need a refresher and a lesson.

You know what - stand up ⬆️ in the meeting and feel free to use a laser pointer. That shows your energy which is sorely needed these days to energize our teams.

Great idea and will help give future confidence boost!

I am curious how other inclusion teachers are being utilized when the school is doing remote learning. I find that I am sitting in the zoom class and have very little opportunity to contribute.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Our district voted on returning back to school with students in the classroom and some staying at home. We now have to teach students in the room and on Zoom at the same time. I’m not complaining but does anyone have any tips on the best and most effective way to get this done?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
