A Day of Takin' Care of Business

Monday

Task 1:
A Not-for-profit Marketing presentation outlining the differences between social marketing and commercial marketing.

I don't fear public speaking, but i wasn't 100% sure of my material so i wasn't 'feeling it.' Ended up being a 9 minute presentation, well received and was given solid positive feedback.

After the presentation i headed off to my employee relations night class to take part in a debate.

Task 2:
The topic was, 'Employees should have the right to third party representation during negotiations.'

I was on the negative team. So we had to argue AGAINST the law in place.

To add further pressure, we had a HR manager from Holden watching who i'm pretty sure is a big head honch - he has been there for 17 years.
Both sides were really good. We were all actually 1 team.

The way the negative team argued was incredible. To put it this way:

It was like a mafia mob boss continually giving backhands to the face of a child all because he was breathing.
(I don't condone violence, but i had to describe it somehow).

Seriously amazed can't believe we won.


Played 'takin care of business' all the way home. Finally. Praise God.
