We at SOGE are a ruthless band. Do we namby-pamby coddle our engineers? No, we show them the brutal world that they will be facing, and bombard them with the worst kind of abuse they can take, and push it further. This rite of passage is also called The Presentation and The Question and Answer Session.
Engineers aren’t just rocket scientists, you know. We have to:
- Come to conclusions with the support of data
- Reason that our conclusion is the best one out of a selection.
- Present it to the layman (i.e. Management/ Clients/ Media)
- Convince the audience that the solution our conclusion arrives at is in their interest
- Convince the audience that our services are valuable and cost effective.
The Presentation and The Question and Answer Session can be thought of as a live fire exercise, simulating the environment while not actively trying to kill the target.

Wata - Malaysian Oil and Gas Engineer 
The presentation training is very very important, and not only in business but also a bit in life – after having a good presentation training we suerly can do anything in our lives cause we are gaining much more faith in ourselves.
i can relate to this. sees and experiences this everyday at xom.
Don’t read from the presentation. Chances Jabba will shoot you with a shotgun
I’d rather shoot myself than read from the slides.
A very good training. Your engineers are indeed very lucky. But if the client doesn’t like your brand or you in person, they won’t listen anyway. Kesimpulannya, build good rapport first.
training looks like real fun.
I’m agreed with “tobleron_gal”, you should learn from the best (e.g. sifu wata), he has a lot of experience in Presentation.
Just go to IEM to see it live.
AnyHow: I used to have juniors who complained that my presentations had the content, not the pizazz. Come to think of it, they still complain.
whose complaining?!
send them to boot camp. Jabba makes them do presentations to client and if they don’t I’d whip them and pour salt onto their wound.
my presentation should have animations, and movies or my slaves are in deep trouble.
any contact for the girl in baju kurung ? 🙂 🙂
PoorPipeliner: Many ways to contact, 1) give us a job, and we’ll consider your request in our staffing plans, or 2) get Jabba’s unregistered telephone number, and he’ll see if you are worthy to work with in the Tatooine monastery he calls a home.
BTW: you really designing pipelines? Need some help with flow assurance (nudge-nudge, wink-wink)?
contact via jabba will require you signing the three documents;
1. Soul Selling Contract to Jabba
2. Letter of Idemnity to Jabba (if we work you to death)
3. Pledge of Allegiance to the Dark One (Jabba and friends)
You may get the contact if you are promoted to slave master.
Wata,
1.I’m just an insect sitting in a dark corner of the company.
2.Ahh, this one seems more realistic to me.
We have flow assurance engineers in the company, though nothing like those in SOGE (nudge-nudge, wink-wink) 🙂
Jabba,
1.I’ve signed a life-time contract to sit in the dark corner of my current place.
2.Signed a similar letter in case i die in the dark corner.
3.Ahh, sitting in the dark corner..joining the “Dark One” ..i see the irony here 🙂 🙂
which floor u sitting on? Ivy, michelle and the girls still there?
