It's the new year and many of us are thinking about how we're going to engage our life and work, as well as where we're headed in 2010. A while back I posted an exercise that challenged us to think about how we'd introduce ourselves in only seven words. We called it the "7 Word Bio".

I think this is a good exercise on a few fronts:

1. It helps us all gain clarity to what we're REALLY trying to do rather than just giving the factual scoop.
2. It helps us communicate to others what we're passionate about (process) rather than just fixating on the end result (product).

I've recently changed my 7 Word Bio and thought some of our you might want to as well. Or if you've never posted one, now is your shot!

So, here's the 7 Word Bio that I've landed on: [updated]
"The arms dealer for the creative revolution."

What is yours? (Rough drafts are fine...)
