“Proactive” is a Pro

Maybe this happened to you recently…say, within the last two hours.

You join a webinar that you’ve long anticipated. The host introduces the webinar, then introduces his first guest.

The first guest introduces herself.

Then…nothing.

The first guest remains on screen, smiling but not saying a thing.

Grok.

We expect the host to reappear on screen to introduce the second guest, but he doesn’t.

The screen remains silent for a few more seconds.

Finally, the second guest introduces himself, and proceeds with the webinar by asking a question of the first guest.

The two guests move the webinar forward for the next few minutes, until the host reappears.

As you probably guessed, the host had technical difficulties, was booted from the webinar, and had to rejoin.

But his guests were proactive and proceeded with the webinar without a host.

Don’t wait. Act.
