Stepping out of my comfort zone

The College I work for has bi-annual staff conferences and part of the remit for the most recent was to produce a presentation on how we perceive the College we work for.  A member of the team suggested a song that they'd recently heard on the radio, sung by Frank Sinatra called High Hopes.  The team were initially 'underwhelmed' by the idea but due to a lack of alternative ideas and a shortness of time we agreed to the suggestion.

Cue singing, dancing and playing up for the camera.  It was the most gruesome thing I've done in a long time and it made me and the majority of the team continually step out of our comfort zone.  However, we laughed so much doing it and so united were we in our embarrassment that it was a great team bonding exercise.  I aim to post the finished product as soon as I get the consent from the rest of my team.

And guess what the best thing is?  Our presentation won first prize at the staff conference!
