Tell Me 10 Interesting Facts About Yourself and I’ll Tell You Why It’s Worth Your Time

I could feel my jaw tighten and hands start to clam-up as soon as she said those words. I was 24 at the time and sitting through the front-end of a week-long Introduction to Leadership training, courtesy of the company I used to work for.
Everybody else in the class appeared to be at least 35+, and I guarantee none of them were the least bit nervous about sharing some stupid, interesting snippet about themselves.

But now, I dedicated some time to pulling together a handful of what I thought are interesting facts about myself.
Yeah that’s right. I’ve got a big, whopping list of 10 things ready to share when called upon again.
