that sinking feelingAnne's big day had arrived, she would be presenting to the company's senior management. Just about 10 days ago, she was surprised when she was appointed to present the 2025 sales plan at such a high level.
#
During those days, she did her best to present the best information possible, to fight against the internal currents of the company who were reluctant to hand over the data and against one other executive who resented with jealousy that she had been given the opportunity to present to the bosses.
#
Once she had completed the dossier with the information she started to work on her presentation, she decided to innovate and present a video on the benefits of the proposal she was presenting... So she started her presentation, when she decided to click on it to present her video, the cursor took on a life of its own, due to nervousness, and inadvertently landed on a video of her children. She began to explain her sales plan while her children on the big screen were playing and running in the backyard of Anne's house... oh my god... the sinking feeling was enormous, her cheeks turned white as snow, her hands stopped shaking because they were petrified of fear and sorrow.#
A few seconds turned into a sensation of eternity; the more she saw the mocking face of her adversaries, the greater was the feeling of sinking. She was finished, her career as an executive was dying at birth! In fractions of a second she regained control, still with sorrow on her face, she addressed her bosses directly: “This proposal that I bring you today, I made it thinking of my children, thinking of the future of the company, if sales go well we will all do well, we are a big family. The applause and satisfaction of the boss pulled her out of the pit where she had fallen.
