Presentations - That's Snow Business

Has the snow scuppered any of your plans recently? I naturally chose last week and this to give a number of presentations to various fellow business people in Bristol and Swindon. Alas the weather had other ideas. On Friday I struggled into Bristol (actually the struggle was out of my drive, Bristol was fine and virtually traffic free because of the snow) to give a seminar on the power of the broadcast interview at a posh hotel in the centre. The rather low attendance at the meeting (7 including me) was of course a result of the weather not a comment on the quality of my presentation skills - that's what I'm telling myself anyway. Unfortunately, it happened again this morning in Swindon. After horrendous forecasts for winter storms bringing blizzards, snowdrifts and flooding, I found, after my relatively easy journey in, that others had heeded the forecasts and attendance was once again a lot lower than expected. I have another one tomorrow and if the same thing happens I might start to take it personally - especially if it's a sunny day.
