I recently had my debut as an auctioneer at the Hamilton School fundraiser in Chicago, and let's just say my 'leading teams' expertise took on a whole new meaning.
Picture this: me, sweating buckets under the spotlight, trying to wrangle bids like herding cats! But hey, who knew my persuasive skills could be so effective when the stakes are high and the gavels are swinging?
From fast-talking to fast-track fundraising, it was a crash course in adrenaline-fueled excitement.
Huge shoutout to the bidders who generously supported the cause, and to the leaders there - you're the real MVPs for keeping a straight face through my rookie antics!
Here's to more bid battles and unforgettable moments in the name of education.
