I had the opportunity to explore giving the first ninja talk at the STC Summit in Chicago. This creative adventure was a great way to wrap up the lightning talks on Wednesday and show how well prepared the other presenters were. The rules for the ninja talk were the same as the lightning talks (20 slides, each automatically advancing every 15 seconds), but the one big difference was that I had never seen the slides.

Rhyne Armstrong did a fabulous job of putting together a set of slides that gave me a lot of flexibility to explore and share the thoughts that ran through my mind. The following snippet, shared by Ben Woelk, shows how truly powerful it is to let go and laugh. Thank you to everyone who attended this session and laughed with me.
