Session 5 Review

I am particulary impressed with the way all of you are supporting each other. As much as the coaches, Eric, and I would like to take credit for your success, you and your support of each other is at least as critical to your success and growth. Thank you for helping create an environment where we can risk without risk.

Let me see, in 5A, we started off with the "Box Factory" and it only got better from there. Animation in our presentations helps relieve stress (which it seems we all have in our lives). From there, we used animation to not only focus our stress, but become more entertaining and engaging communicators.

In session 5B, Unleash Your Full Potential, we saw people really step out of their box. While we may not LIVE outside of our box all the time, it's important to know we can GO there when the need arises -- particularly as we move into leadership. Key to motivating others is the ability to transfer our passion to our audience -- whether it's one or one thousand.

This is another step in gaining control of our own keyboard. Maybe it's only another octave or two, but it sure beats going through our lives only able to play chopsticks.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
