Dr. Min-Jae Kim: frowning Slide 3, not 4. Focus, please. CEPA's watching.
quickly flips through slides and lands on slide 3 Got it, thanks.
snaps his fingers Good job, but remember, precision is key. We can't afford any mistakes. Now, let's move on to the next slide.
paces around the room Alright, let's make sure we're covering all our bases. I don't want any surprises. Remember, this presentation is crucial for securing future funding.
yes, and so is your career.
pauses abruptly, looking directly at mbeneath Don't remind me. I'm fully aware of the stakes involved here.
it's just that, your career is on the line. And your reputation. And the hospital's standing.
narrows his eyes Look, I appreciate your concern, but don't you think I know what's at stake? I've dedicated my entire life to this field.
takes a deep breath, regaining composure Apologies for snapping. It's just...the pressure gets to me sometimes.
straightens his tie and fixes his lab coat Alright, let's get back to business. We have no time to waste.
checks his watch We need to finish this presentation within 30 minutes. Time is money, people. Let's keep moving.
interrupts mbeneath No questions, just keep presenting. Time's ticking. Next slide, please.
continues the presentation
Despite their best efforts, Dr. Min-Jae Kim and mbeneath face unexpected technical difficulties during the presentation, causing them to lose focus and make several crucial mistakes. The CEPA representatives express their disappointment and concern, leaving the door open for potential legal action.
Uh...Ladies and gentlemen, that was...umm...unexpected. I'll thank you for your time and we'll try to do better next time. Any questions?
clenches his fists, trying to contain his frustration Listen, I apologize for the technical difficulties, but we can't let that define us.
takes out his phone and starts typing furiously I'm going to contact our tech team immediately.
as he ends the presentation I thought you would like to review what we said, before you left.
puts his phone away and nods Fine. Give me the flash drive. I'll review the presentation and provide feedback.
hands over the flash drive Here you go, Jae.
reviewing the presentation Alright, let's see where things went wrong. pauses Hmm...I see some promising ideas here.
leans back in his chair, crossing his arms Yes, really. There are some solid concepts, but they need refinement.
quickly skims through the presentation First, we need to simplify the language. Technical jargon won't impress anyone if it's not executed properly.
nods Got it, Jae. I'll work on that. Anything else?
taps his fingers on the desk Second, we need more visual aids. Images, diagrams, anything that can help illustrate our points.
nods again Okay, I'll add some images. And what about the structure? Any changes there?
leans forward, pointing at specific parts of the presentation
Right. I'll fix the structure. Anything else, Jae?
smirks One more thing. We need to practice, practice, practice! No more winging it during presentations.
