It’s 7am on Monday morning; you’re driving down the busy highway, listening to your favorite radio station or podcast on your way into the office. As your exit approaches, you throw on your blinker, check your mirrors, look over your shoulder, and see the coast is clear. You begin your merge, and you’re greeted with a “HOOOOONK” so close and loud that your head might as well have been inside the horn!

As consultants, we here at Ignite often get asked by people we meet: "what exactly do you do?"

Recently, a client asked for Ignite to help create training materials. Nothing new for us there. However, this time, one of the requirements for the training materials was to create, and act in, short videos. This was a unique experience for our firm, as no one was (or is) a Hollywood movie star. We had intermediate experience with video production, but no experience when it came to acting.
