I would add two more 'keeps': (1) Keep a copy of your slidedeck (PPT file) somewhere on a virtual Internet drive (like Dropbox), and to be extra safe (2) keep a copy in your e-mail account by e-mailing it to yourself.

Here's a random thought: stop calling the meeting a postmortem. No-one died.

Thanks for the quick review of a new product.

I often feel I have too many social media options. Let's see how this shakes out.

Nice story to highlight the problems faced when last minute revisions happen in a presentation. Once the presentation leaves the final cut stage at office, it should probably be stuck to unless there is a significant change or obvious mistake!

This is a great quote that I read often when holding the position of president in a volunteer organization when one individual was very negative about my performance.

We learn more from our mistakes than what goes correctly, don't we?
I like that you took personal responsibility and have given us suggestions so we don't encounter the same problem.

Thanks for the Post!

Sorry, I actually think that's a spam comment that I didn't notice.

Re: Things to Think About #1: Sockets

Hi Richard,

ZAP!!! is right. When I was in high school I worked as an assistant wedding photographer and I spend many a Saturday following the actual photographer around holding the slaved flash and I remember those cord well. I can easily see how what you described could happen.

Thanks for stopping by and for the comment.

Lee:

Your post reminded me of another problem waiting to happen with the plugs that match those old sockets. Some photographers still use “male household synch cords” - lamp cords with male plugs at both ends to carry synchonization signals between their electronic flash units. One male plug eventually will mistakenly get plugged into a wall outlet. ZAP!!! (Others use female to female synch cords).
