He asked for volunteers to go first, then, when none were forthcoming, issued a timetable. I'm up in March.
What am I going to talk about? I have many areas of knowledge, but will any of them hold my colleagues' interest?
My boss's suggestion, inspired by my Viggen desktop wallpaper, was that I should speak on 'Swedish interceptors of the Cold War', but this is perhaps a little too eclectic.

On what subject should I address my colleagues?

And there's every chance this whole idea will die a death long before my turn.
