I was uncomfortable during the 5-10 presentations I gave about the same topic, but the most uncomfortable situation I was placed in gave me the most value out of my experience. I met with Robert Stevens, the founder of Geek Squad, in which he literally ripped through my proposal in a matter of 10 minutes. I was dumbfounded. But, as I stepped back and my face turned from red to a normal color - I realized he made FANTASTIC points. It turns out, his feedback was the most effective. I already believed in my idea, and I didn't need a friendly acknowledgment (which I was comfortable with), but I needed an uncomfortable situation showing my why it would not work so that I could pursue solutions and continue growing the concept.]]> http://www.newfangled.com/contentmgr/showdetails.php/id/17386#comment17396 Thu, 21 May 2009 10:26:55 -0400
