The best presenter goes to...

ME! So the story is that this past Friday and Saturday, our office had a "PR bootcamp" where we all had to spend the night at a hotel (I'm not complaining because it was a gorgeous hotel and because I'm a Director, I didn't have to share a room!) and do a case competition. We were in training allll day long and then at the end of the night, we were given a case to work in groups of 6 to come up with a fantastic presentation the next morning for a panel of judges. We had a case about this new Japanese firm that wanted to expand their presence in China but had no idea how to do it. My group came up with the coolest project, but we ended up not winning. The winning team won $2000RMB (which is like $300USD) and tickets to some concert here. I didn't really care cuz I had no idea who the rock star was but it would have been nice to split that cash. However I didn't know that we also had a category for best presenter and I WON! I was so tired that I didn't even know that they announced my name! :) I got to take home $1000RMB all for myself. But being the good daughter that I am, I gave the winnings to my mom who is here now in Shanghai with my dad. She was excited and I'm sure she'll spend the money wisely :)
That's just the short story...not too exciting, but I just found it hilarious that I won! Until next time...
