However, when you start the slide show, the timer will start at the correct time and count down by 1-minute intervals until it gets to 1 minute. At that point, it will count down in two 30-seconds intervals to 00:00.

To insert this slide into your presentation

Save this template as a presentation (.ppt file) on your computer. Open the presentation that will contain the timer. On the Slides tab, place your insertion point after the slide that will precede the timer. (Make sure you don't select a slide. Your insertion point should be between the slides.)

Be my Boss, I got enough friendsThe more opportunities you have had to connect with those not on the train, the better the chances are that you will be able to sit down with them and hold a conversation in a professional manner.#TRUTH

Private conversations are a great way to deal with naysayersThey want to be loud, but one-on-one, they cant.I always put at least one naysayer on my committees/teamsLets me know what the people who arent on the train are thinking
