About
the Award Winning Entry:
The
world was not cooperating with Frankie
Forsyth when it came time to co-facilitate
a recent synchronous panel session.
Her nominator wrote: "Frankie
is a single mum who co-runs an e-learning
consulting firm from her back bedroom,
using a laptop." As the session
was starting, Frankie couldn't get
logged in on her own laptop due to
a mysterious problem in Microsoft Explorer.
Since the synchronous event "fell
right slap bang in the middle of the
school holidays", Frankie commandeered
her 7 year old daughter Fiona's laptop.
Fiona was particularly peeved because
she was unable to play Neopets and
kept asking during the session when
she could have her laptop back. To
make matters worse, Frankie accidentally
kicked the faulty power cord on her
daughter's laptop, and dropped out
of the session completely. Despite
all of these circumstances, Frankie
pulled off a successful event by maintaining
her composure, thinking on her feet,
and relying on the deftness of her
co-facilitator, Michael Coghlan. |
