Swanburg Makes Excuses, Not Rain

Yesterday morning, two classmates and I ventured up to Dallas to listen to the CEO of Travelocity and present a case to the EMBA Global Strategy class.

The Travelocity CEO was awesome; my team and I were not.

Our reliance on PowerPoint and winging it left us woefully underprepared. We didn't add much in the way of insight and our audience seemed polite but unimpressed. Every time a new slide popped up I looked surprised by its contents and overall, my performance was described as "stilted."

It was supposed to be practice for the Big 12 and George Washington case competitions and that it was. Nothing teaches a good lesson like fucking up.
