Week 10 EOC: Silicon Valley

Silicon Valley was a fantastic series that was comedic yet intelligent at that same time. I enjoyed it as much as Erlich enjoyed this vision quest.

Week 8 EOC: Silicon Valley Ep. 8 Rights and Wrongs

In the season finale of Silicone Valley, we see Richard finally take charge for his company. But first there was the mess that was the result of Erlich’s actions the previous night. Something the team did right was have a lawyer to take care of the situation and walk them through the correct steps to fix the mess of the situation. The need for a lawyer for your small business arises from the fact that there are hundreds of laws for business that need to be followed and each industry will have its own particular regulations and rules.As for Gavin Newsome, his ability to wow the audience is flawless. His presentation was not only different, it was also superb. He did it effortlessly and made the presentation look intriguing. They was Gavin Newsome connected his visuals to his dialogue was very refined. Not to mention his vocabulary made it sound like he know everything there was to know about what he was selling. An important skill to have in business and especially in the public relations arena is the skill of persuasion or the ability to win over the crowd.Richard on the other hand seemed very nervous for his presentation because of the fact that he was barley prepared and almost didn’t have a product to show off. However, this was a huge step for Richard because he finally took control over his company which he struggled vastly throughout the series. He knew it was time for him to step up and it couldn’t have come at a better time, though he was nervous he still had the “wow” factor. He created an algorithm that for a score of 5 on the scale, which is nearly unheard of. Richard finally had the confidence and power to become the leader of a group he never had a big grasp on. One must always be confident at workplace to gain visibility and show how one tackles situation or problems with positivity and dignity.
