The wrong deck loaded mid-keynote; admit the error, put the clicker down, own your mistakes…

I was stressed, feeling awful, reserving energy for the stage, but I screwed up! 😬

Customizing ‘Lessons From Sports’ speeches is my joy. Real stories, facts, tangible takeaways—I had it all researched. Checked my deck, all set.

On stage, smooth intro slides, then doubt crept in.

“That slide shouldn’t be there?”

“I wasn’t planning on talking about that?”

Mid-flow to a large crowd, my mind’s panicking. A few slides later, I realize they loaded the wrong deck. 🤯

Frustrated, upset, with 30 mins left. 😳

I admitted the error, put the clicker down, had a chat without visuals. Mistakes happened, but the biggest was mine. I checked only the first slides; I missed it. Own your mistakes and learn. 🌟🤞
