Fired!

It was probably pretty obvious that the person who makes excuses is the first to go.

And Rob did make excuses. His comeback was *I did this, this, and this* to show his good points, but he stopped saying it when he saw that it wasn't getting him anywhere. My opinion is, he should have shied away from blaming someone else and gone back to pointing out what he did well. He might even have gotten away with, *Next time, I'll ----* Unless Donald is shaking his head . . .

How could have Rob been better prepared?

If he had a good Power Picture, he wouldn't have been sitting there, shaking his head. He would have had confidence that whatever he did, he did well.

On his way into the Board Room, his physiology told us that he knew he didn't have much of a chance at staying. Again, if he had been visualizing his Power Picture and what it stood for, he would have looked good -- not just in the Boardroom, but the whole time!
