How to Win Pens and Influence People

toot toot

At the 8th session of the 12-week Dale Carnegie class that I'm taking, I finally won a pen for "Breaktrough Performance." Our two-minute talks were an update from week 3 and how we increased our enthusiasm by a factor of 10 in a certain part of our work.

My speech was on my new-found enthusiasm for meetings, and I was the last speaker to go; it was clear that I made a good impression on everyone. It felt good to win.

I had hoped for the 2nd to last pen (in week 12) so I could say that I had won the penultimate pen, but that's OK.
