Session 5: Energize Our Communications and Unleash Our Full Potential

Energize Our Communications
Review The Box Factory on page 5.4 of your manual. There will be a Box Factory Championship and usually the winner has memorized the passage.
Prepare a 1 minute talk, telling us about an ACTIVITY, be prepared to act out this talk.

Unleash Our Full Potential
Prepare a 1 minute talk about a topic that you feel strongly about, positively or negatively. This is a magic formula talk so start with the INCIDENT that provides the evidence that supports the ACTION that you want us to take, and the BENEFIT to us when we do.
