It was a cold winter morning when Dad and I were discussing work while sun bathing at home. I had mentioned to him how I would like to someday give a talk on my work, my experiences and hopefully inspire someone to choose the path of Entrepreneurship.
Ever since that January morning, I only, at times thought about it. Thought about what will I speak on, how should I present it knowing that it can be really boring for the students. For them it is yet another, boring lecture.
A college, a unique college I must say, gave me a call this Monday asking me to speak on Entrepreneurship; my journey as an Entrepreneur, my lows and highs, lessons, et al.
Until the day before the presentation, I was stuck on what should I speak on. Stuck. So I called up a friend, an MBA graduate, asking him exactly what goes through the mind of a student who sits for these lectures. He spelled it, boring. Not that I was surprised but it gave me a start.
I decided it will only be a round of questions and answers, with a slight twist. I got two squeeze balls. Who ever had a question shot their hands up. I would throw the ball to him/her and only if the ball was caught I would answer their questions.
The round of questions went on for around 30 minutes, only after I told them about who and what we do. Fortunately the Q & A session covered the highs and lows of my experience as an entrepreneur. I was excited and happy unlike my nervousness at the beginning of the lecture.
I moved on to the principles I practice and have learnt in the past 2 years that I covered in a presentation. This lasted for another 15 minutes.
At the end of it I felt more enlightened on what I spoke and how I could improve and better myself for the next time.
