3. You forgot part of your speech!

4. Your presentation file is corrupt and backup is lost?

5. Your best punch line or story failed?

6. Does it seem a little familiar?

7. Make the best of unexpected situations..

8. …use humour!

9. Projector stops working? Even the projector felt sleepy after such a good lunch !

10. Your best joke failed to elicit a laugh? Now let’s give my joke a decent burial and go on to my next point…

11. Expect such goof ups and prepare 1 or 2 one-liners for each

12. After electricity goes off.. I knew it was time to take a break
