The Phone Call

I am really not good on the phone.
I don't have much confidence with holding professional conversations on the telephone, but as C.E.O of this event I have responsibilities I have to take.

Today I phoned Gemma Hunt to talk about the event.

To my surprise the phone call went really well. We spoke about the angle of the event and I told her what was going to happen.
We discussed her fee and her time of arrival.
I asked her to bring visuals for her talk as I thought this would be very beneficial for the class and she said she would find some for the day.

Aside from all the professional issues we also had a chat about university , her past and what we are doing now.

I felt like I had really accomplished something after the phone call.

I followed up by emailing her a map of the university, directions and a schedule of the day.

It feels so real now that we are getting actual professionals to come to our event!
