What really goes on behind the scenes of a teleseminar?  Let’s find out.

I spoke at a teleseminar this week.  It was not mine – it was hosted by someone else and I was a presenter/teacher.  I’ve done MANY teleseminars and am here to tell you that if something can happen it will.

It was a cold, rainy night and my two dogs were inside.   I told them to be quiet but with dogs and children you never know. 

My corgi is used to having ‘play time’ at about 9:30PM.  Can dogs tell time?  You bet they can!   I told her we’d have to play later and to be good while I was on the phone.  Did she listen?  Uhhhh – no.

Just at 9:30 she decided it really was play time and started growling.  I tried everything I could think of to quiet her but nothing worked.  Then the host of the teleseminar started talking so I muted my headset, picked her up, ran to the backdoor and threw her outside!   It really was a Chinese fire drill because while I was running with the 25 lb. corgi in my arms, the toy poodle was running with us thinking it really WAS play time!

I got in and closed the door just as the host finished saying whatever it was he was saying and I said, in a totally calm and professional voice, "Thank you for that, Jim" and went on as if nothing happened.

The moral – be prepared for anything because if it can happen, it probably will!
