Additional information: Each person will have 6 to 10 minutes to show and talk about something that you are proud of that you accomplished this past year. It could be a new learning program you designed, new software or a change project you implemented successfully at your company or for a client - even a new business you started. Format:

  1. Here's what the request/problem/need was
  2. Here's what we did/created/implemented
  3. Here's why it was successful, the challenges we overcame, and why I'm proud of what was accomplished

Let's hear each others' success stories, and learn from real samples/examples of what other people have been working on. Please bring physical artifacts or photos of your work to show, to pass around or display. You can create a short PowerPoint presentation to describe it if you wish, as long as you limit it to a Pecha Kucha format of not more than 20 images for 20 seconds apiece, for a total time of 6 minutes, 40 seconds. As Igor Stravinsky said: "Having constraints fuels creativity."
