This should be a fun page which looks like this example (from AWA) — what we need from each person is their chosen photo and a brief line about what interests you, or perhaps a quirky quote to go in the thought bubble. Your title goes under photo so no need to say this in your bubble, and then add links to your email, phone, UTS homepage (if you maintain this), personal blog (if you have one), linkedin, twitter, slideshare and Shawn will iconise them Simon Buckingham Shum - Director "Commitm...
