Wide Eyed and Independant Events

23Mar11

I was standing and killing two birds in one stone, those people in the hey days would say. Firstly increasing self proclaimed stature of looking good to a level of acceptable level and secondly, focusing being beyond that nice looking guy to a preservere, energetic and able to generate words with such enigma.

What really astonish me though when some one didn’t follow the same order (having the look first, and beyond later). From a generally average looking guy, there’s this one guy who manage to silence the room without bombastic words; rather precise and short words. He ends his presentation with a smile and showing utter disregard to approval of any sort. As if the MC approval and buy-in is not that important. It is his honesty and presenting-not-creating that seemed to be the aura that reduce benign effects.

This is a wide-eyed surprise moment for a rigid advocate of the visual management. I always taught that drive and passionate by looking professional is always the best way of conveying ideas. It seemed like it wasn’t the case now. Or rather with some people, it just not in their blood.
