Comms Day
Yesterday's Comms Day was a SMASH I must say! Ended on a high note. Initial dry-but-important corporate directives etc kinda drowned the crowd. Was tasked to enliven the spirits with a quiz.
Man, the folks were awesome. Minute I took over the rostum, everyone gave their utmost support. Pat said there'll be a "test later on after my speech" during his presentation. I rephrased that as a "lucky draw", but you gotta answer a simple question to win a prize. LOL.
Hope I did a good job of sharing ATLAS. Dot was awesome too. She made me feel safe and I didn't have ANY stage fright at all. Got the audience laughing with my corny slides of ATLAS. Clarence, ek, reb, gwen, keewui etc were instrumental too in making the event a success. Shall treat them a little something tomorrow =)
Oh yesh, And thanks to dearie LINDA for her cropped jeans. Muahahaha! I had worn cuffed shorts forgetting that I've a presentation to make..... morning blurness as usuuuuaaal (-_-)
Best part was everyone remembering that "ATLAS is a***scan's baby". Shared with them the plane story told to me by Dot. Hope it kinda inspired them. And my "Oreo vs Creamo" analogy of how important brand is to a company... and that's why we must work together to protect and nurture our baby, ATLAS.. Together with a series of programs to make "A Pleasant Journey" possible for autoscanians and our customers/partners alike.
To round things up we had a piecing ATLAS game, which had clarence's team stepping down (i.e. chickening out) when I asked both teams to sing to determine the winner. The audience was so funny! Insisted on reb's team to sing even though they've been declared winner... LOL. So they sang baabaa black sheep..... with the technical team doing back ups of "meeehhhh" in the background. Ahhahaah!
I'm glad the Comms Day ended on a high note. Was on hyper mode even hours after the event.. hee~
3 things I learnt yesterday:
1. It is important to present a speech in your audience's language. Please don't throw in Maslow's Theory if majority of the crowd don't even care who that is.
2. A***scan has plenty of smart quick-witted folks
3. We love helping each other out (as witnessed by me during the lucky draw quiz event.. everyone was giving the luckily-drawn person answers. Hahaha)
