It is coming up to the end of my first week back at work. I’m having a good time. It has been great to meet new people, and I think my team is really lovely. They have been incredibly welcoming and extremely helpful. I’m also enjoying having new challenges in my day. I don’t like it when I don’t know something, but the journey and that feeling when you finally work something out/learn something new is awesome.
Anyway, next week I’m hosting a “team meeting” using Adobe Connect and apparently I need to prepare a 5 minute piece to introduce myself. First things first, I love Connect. I really wanted my team in my previous company to start using it, but for some reason they weren’t so keen. But on the other hand… this task feels like homework! Lol. My manager said “do something quirky”. What on earth is quirky?
I think the problem is that because of my background (in creating interactive learning presentations) I may be overreaching. A 5 minute quirky, online presentation, all about me? Theoretically speaking, there is scope to do SOOO much. I can imagine it now – a bouncy, quirky, not-powerpoint-driven presentation. Practically speaking… unless I do it after hours, it’s going to be a little more bland
I realise I need to find a compromise. Any ideas?
