My first solo client call in my new marketing role went totally silent for 45 seconds
I was in my home office in Charlotte and the screen froze during my big presentation, so I just started talking through my backup notes from memory. Has anyone else had a tech fail turn into a weird confidence boost?

That line about your brain proving it can work without the slides really hit home. I've had similar moments where the tech dies and suddenly I'm just talking, and it's weirdly freeing. Nothing beats that feeling when you realize you actually know your stuff cold, even if your laptop doesn't.

Oh man, that's actually a great point. I mean, when the tech plan falls apart, you're forced to rely on what you actually know. It's like your brain proves it can work without the slides, and that's a huge win.

Ever have that moment, @olivia_lewis, where your brain proves it can work but you still miss the slides?
