**Trinity Triangle –Creative Project Summary**
All three members of our triangle got together for a conference chat to brainstorm our motivational video topics. We looked at the visions of Lifebushido, and decided to create our videos based on three different big picture ideas to encourage Ishidos. Tami chose to focus on dreaming big, Christy’s focus was following your heart, and Rosie focused on goals. We then each researched motivational quotes and pictures based on the vision we chose to emphasize. We all used stupeflix.com to create our motivational videos. We found this to be a great site for video making—very user friendly. The first video you make is free, so that was a plus too. After we each completed our own video we put all three together on our creative project wiki page. We are hoping to share these with Ishidos on three consecutive Mondays in the near future, to give a big boost to the start of their week.

Project Update: Trinity Triangle's Driver Call with Steve was Monday, December, 17, 2012 at 12:00 est. Steve decided he wanted our group to focus on our first project idea, but changed it a bit, creating three motivational videos instead.

** Creative Project - Completed Proposal **
Triangle Name: Trinity Triangle Leader: Tami Robertson Members: Christy Tree and Rosie Vizineau December 2012 New Recruit Creative Project

**Creative Project Ideas:**
1. Name of Project: **Monday Motivator!** -Triangle Rating: **A**
 * __Description__: We will compile a list of 52 motivational quotes and/or short stories in a PDF document, to send out by email to Lifebushido associates, one for each week of the year. Each motivation will be sent out on Monday morning. These various quotes and stories will help Ishidos feel inspired to keep doing their best in all areas of life: health, relationships, finances, business, and personal. We could even add some humor every now and then. These Monday Motivators will also help create camaraderie among those who work at Lifebushido.
 * __Goal__: Create positive and motivational feelings to kick-start each new work week.
 * __Resources Needed__: Researching of quotes/stories from the internet.

2. Name of Project: **Are you an Animal for that Job?** -Triangle Rating: **B**
 * __Description__: Describe each animal type outcome of the quiz, what that animal type's characteristics are, and then explain how each of those personalities would tie into specific jobs at Lifebushido. We could present our project on a wiki page in PDF format.
 * __Goal__: Let the outcome of the Animal Quiz help new recruits and new hires explore job possibilities within Lifebushido that would be a good fit with their personality.
 * __Resources Needed__: Information from Animal Quiz and information from Lifebushido webpages.

3. Name of Project: **Book Clubushido** -Triangle Rating: **C**
 * __Description__: We will create a voluntary book club for Lifebushido associates. We will research and find 12 positive self-help books for club members to read throughout the year, 1 book per month. Each month, members can answer questions and have a set chat time to discuss the book and identify how reading it has helped them become a stronger employee for Lifebushido and overall stronger individual.
 * __Goal__: Promote self-discovery and self-learning by reading a positive nonfiction book.
 * __Resources Needed__: Internet research for positive helpful books.

We chose //Monday Motivator!// as our top choice, because we believe this would be beneficial to all associates of Lifebushido. It would add a nice boost to a Monday morning. Returning to work after downtime on the weekend can seem a little overwhelming at times, but having a positive reminder on Monday would kick the week off to a great start. Putting a smile on the face of an associate would be a huge plus for this project.

//Are you an Animal for that Job?// would greatly benefit new recruits and new hires that are diligently working to find the right fit within Lifebushido. This project would give helpful insight as to the best job based upon the findings of the animal quiz. All members of our group were pleasantly surprised at how accurate the animal quiz was, and this could be good starting point when looking at job descriptions. We liked this idea, and felt it should come in as our second option.

Our third pick, after much brainstorming was, //Book Clubushido//. We liked the idea of associates that aren’t necessarily working together on a day to day basis, being able to come together to form a common shared theme. This book club would allow anyone within the company to be able to participate in fun positive group environment. The club could help each other become stronger individuals by discussing what they have read and how they will apply it to their journey in the company and in their life. This might be a little difficult for those in the company who are already very busy, so we chose this as our third option.
