To make your presence felt in corporate meetings—
To appear Sharper:
"Can you go back to the previous slide?"
To appear Pragmatic:
"Let's look at the Timelines."
To appear Senior:
"Who's taking the minutes??"
To appear Super senior:
"I have a hard stop at 10 am"
When a junior points out a mistake in the slide, Presenter says, "Let's take this offline."
When someone points at a glaring miss in one of the slides,
"We have addressed that in a subsequent slide"
(there is no such slide; and, everybody forgets)
To appear as a Realist:
"Let's take a step back."
Most experienced guy in the room:
" चाय नही आई अभी तक...!"
