                         Now begins 7 minutes of silence...

                  Break the timeline of your story in chunks of
                 context and start layering on important details.

                Don’t forget: Personal Achievement, Volunteerism,
                            education, promotions etc.

           Each person has 5 minutes to tell their story. The rest
             of the team will take notes on that persons story.

            5 minutes will then be given for the team to give them
           notes on what they found the most interesting and why.

Step 3: Who are you?

What is common about what
is interesting in your story?


   Take 5 minutes of silence to come up with
   short, job title-less description of yourself.

       Write each attempt on a note card.

   Then quickly go around and share these for
            reaction from your team.
About me:

I make the
 unclear,
  clear.
