What is COOL About You: A Great Icebreaker in any community...what about in yours?
So, guys/gals... what I think would be great is to Know a little about each other... ....Especially things that are UNIQUE and COOL about YOU. What do you say we share some things that we normally don't share in a typical networking conversation? It could be things you do for a hobby, or things you're passionate about, or things you've achieved in your life that you're proud of or that's unique. ...it could be Anything.... .....and HERE you are also allowed to BRAG a "little" And I'll start. ;-) 1. In the Norwegian Army, I trained dogs for obedience. I was in the K9 unit, and I became one of the top two K9 trainers there when I was there. Ps. I also CARE DEEPLY for dogs, especially Stray Dogs that I encounter when I visit Mumbai, India with my wife. 2. As a hobby, I played competitive Footbag Net, or Hacky Sack as many people call it in the USA. It's basically a tiny little ball that we kick back and forth over a badminton net, on the exact same size as a badminton court. I became number two in the World in doubles and number three in singles, and it took me eight years to reach that level. PS. in the picture below you see me in the final... I am the one wearing blue shorts. Kenny Shultz "kicked my ASS" in this game...but he also had 42 World Titles to his Name by that time ;-)...So I lost with Honor ;-) 3. Also, as a hobby, I started organizing social events in San Francisco, and I became one of the biggest party promoters there. One time, I had 5,000 people at my Halloween ball at San Francisco City Hall, and even founders of Hotmail and PayPal would attend my parties. SO... TELL US ABOUT YOU?
