Is this Blogger a Blagger?

This morning I delivered a company presentation to three IT Directors, ya know what? I rocked!

Given my mere 3 months at my job, and no previous experience of the legal sector, is this blogger one big blagger?

At Uni. I often submitted essays franticly written the night before and ended up with respectable grades.

I've landed great jobs by presenting on topics totaly out of my comfort zone hashed together with the help of Google and sticky backed plastic.

Does this make me a blagger, or am I just good at picking things up? Or am I plain lucky, "you always land on your feet Jes"

I think it's all of the above, but mainly confidence. If you can motivate yourself to think you know your stuff, chances are that's how you'll be perceived.

Add to this that people EXPECT you to know your stuff, and you know more than you think anyway it's easy to convince anyone IF you deliver it confidently.

I have witnessed people deliver some amasing presentations with barely any preparation. Their personalities carry them through.

Blagging, if that's what you want to call it, is just another skill. It can be learned, is incredibly useful and is too often disregarded as a cop out to knowing your stuff.

Let's face it, preparation may well 'prevent piss poor performance' but Blagging can 'provide time to get pissed'!
