Woodie's Opening Speech

[Chris Fultz]

(This might be a Careers thread, but I think it fits here too)

Woodie's opening speech about the special characteristics of a FIRST team member was one of the best I have heard in a long time. Very important points and I think it was well done.

He mentioned several traits of many FIRST members - the ability to solve problems, the ability to work as part of a team and part of an alliance, to help others, and many others.

Tonight (this morning?), I am studying for a final in an organizational theory class. One section I just re-read was about the thought of 'lifetime employability' instead of 'lifetime employment'.

I think the skills you are learning today are making you 'lifetime employable' and are transferable to many companies and types of organizations.

What did you think of the speech, and do you think it applies to you ?
