Last Thursday evening, the folks at Avvo gathered in the conference room, wine in hand, for our first-ever round of lightning talks.
The basics of a lightning talk: Each presenter gets 5 minutes to teach us a new skill or share some facts related to a topic they love. Not only does this format allow us to quickly learn a variety of new skills, we also get to know a little more about the people we work with! Shout out to our first three presenters:
- Christina demonstrated how to fold a fitted sheet (the right way!) and looked like a wizard. As our audience participants learned, it takes some practice—but it can be done!
- Jake explained the basics of sailboat racing. Did you know there’s a jury involved? Turns out, the world of sailing is not above the law.
- Like a true Seattleite, Puja explained how to roast your own coffee using a popcorn maker. Innovative and cost-effective.
Big thanks everyone who participated! Can’t wait to see what’s next.
