My big presentation in Dallas went totally silent for a full minute
I was showing a new project plan to a room of ten managers when my laptop screen froze. I tried clicking everything, but nothing worked. I just stood there feeling my face get hot while everyone watched. I finally unplugged the projector cable, restarted the computer, and picked up where I left off. Has anyone else had a tech fail during a key meeting and how did you save it?

Read an article once that said the best move is to just own it with a joke. Makes everyone relax a bit.

Ever notice how that works for small stuff but not for big, serious mistakes? It's like we're all trying to find the right level of funny to fix things.

What's the biggest thing you've tried to laugh off?
