Is there anything more annoying than someone who’s pinging you during the middle of a presentation expecting you to see their messages and incorporate their feedback live when you are sharing your screen and talking at the same time during a PowerPoint presentation?

You know that’s an art. Figure out how to synthesize that feedback. The best conversations and delivery I’ve had happen when we have a “backchannel chat” open with the internal team and we can real time coach the speakers with cues they may not see or reminders that are the perfect zing in a conversation. Try it! If you hate it you hate it but I’m telling you it makes a difference.

If you have 2 screens are remote and aren’t the one talking all the time sure feedback can be accepted. If it’s one screen in the conference room all together… nope

It’s invaluable to have live perspective. Don’t think of it as them correcting you- it’s a collab effort to steer and facilitate.

Remove the ego from it and think of it as a tool you can use to amplify your impact.

You’re too focused on it messing you up- look when you can, you won’t always be able to, but glance every now and again.

It’s not. That MD is being ridiculous imo. For future, though, you could have teams up on your phone

Agree with a majority of the responders … you’ll need to figure out how to balance incorporating live feedback, which can be critical. Reading the audience and adjusting live is a great quality.

On the other hand, there are idiotic live feedbacks too … like the one I got via a text on my phone, cc”ing the partner “hi, I noticed a typo in slide 28 of the appendix, and there is a missed period on slide 32. Please mention it when you get to those slides” 😳

Long story short, my MD asked me to talk about numbers not included in the deck, but i didn’t see it until after the presentation was over. They got upset at me but how is that my fault?

100% welcome a back channel ping with helpful information to include in what is being presented in case there’s something I forgot to mention or got wrong

Double screens and yes you should be able to

No double screens. I just heard a bunch of pings.

Can someone give me the long story short, pls?

My MD asked me to share number via pings during my presentation and got upset that I didn’t see his pings

What is the firm policy for paid parental leave at D? Read it is 16 weeks. Any eligibility criteria ? What’s the catch?

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?
