Sarah Out In the World

Have you heard of Pecha Kucha? It’s a cool presentation style where you give a short talk with 20 slides at 20 seconds each. I’ve done it twice it’s so fun! You can click to watch The Art and Science of the Emotionally Intelligent Family and my latest PK is right here (pay no attention to the fact that my slides are out of order and I have to manage myself on the fly!): The Five Senses of Home. Let me know what you think. Got a passion? Find a PK night in your area and DO IT!
