BRATINELLA AND ME dares to speak out anytime, anywhere about anything to anyone.: Episode #2: theTALKmaster

Episode #2: theTALKmaster

09 December 2009

She was late… we had started our meeting by the time she arrived.

Everyone had delivered the ‘Elevator Pitch’ as a way of introducing himself, his business, and who his target customers were.

Every single person at the meeting seemed to freeze in time – as eyes turned to her direction.

SHE who wordlessly strode towards the head of the table with an regal air of both enigma and confidence befitting VIP's.

“Sino siya?!” (Most people who come in late do NOT have the guts to sit in front – much less at the HEAD of the table!)

ME: Good morning po, Ma’am. Since you’re late, could you kindly introduce yourself – so that others can find out who you are – and what you do? (At paki-bilisan noh… late ka naman kasi… ISTORBO!)

HER: Hello, my name is Vivien... I am theTALKmaster… Creative Director / Producer and Talk-Show Host of 'SHOW & TELL'… I am also the Founder of EduTrainMent Learning Services – where we learn best in moments of enjoyment! My goal is to help you learn how to be CPC: Clear, Precise and Concise!

ME: Thank you po, Miss Vivien…. That was very Clear, Precise and Concise (hehehe, nanakaw ko yung tagline mo noh!) Now, let’s proceed with our agenda. . .

The meeting continued as designated presenters for the day talked (actually, boringly bragged) about what their products allegedly could do….

During those moments, I kept stealing glances at 'theTALKmaster'… I was trying to decode her body language…

I noticed the particular way she listened – with full attention – to each of the presenters.

I could sense that she was holding back on something . . . something very, very important that I would soon realize . .
