Events begin with ideas! Mindmap as many ideas as you can—the good, the bad, and the ugly. The objective is to get everything out of your head and on paper (...

Having a set of clear objectives for an event helps minimize the emotionality associated with feedback.

Objectives let you be more objective about decisions because when an idea or piece of feedback is offered, the team can simply ask, “does this bring us closer to our objectives?” If not, that doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea, it simply means that thought doesn’t fit with this particular event.

Maybe it will spark an idea for a different event or project. Or maybe not.

No matter what the case, those clear goals and objectives allow brainstorms to flow more freely because there is less pressure to have a “good idea” and more freedom to explore creative solutions.

Autonomy is a big deal.

This morning my six-year-old was doing a job daddy set up for her, helping clean a new-to-us piece of furniture. She “invited” her four-year-old brother to take over for her and went off to play.

He came whining to me: “sister told me I could do her job—”

And I latched onto his phrasing. “She told you you *could* do that job. She invited you, but you get to decide! If the job seems fun you get to try it, but if you’d rather not, that’s fine too!”

His countenance slowly lifted as he shifted from reacting to his sister’s potential bossiness and actually weighed whether this was something he wanted to do or not.

And then he got to work!

Amazing how autonomy changes the game.

Yesterday I met with our Buyfrost development team and we established the core features necessary to Alpha test the software.

One of those vital features is autonomy.

Sure, randomized breakout rooms have their place. The algorithm exists for a reason.

But in a world driven by algorithms, getting to control a decision feels like kind of a big deal. it’s one of the reasons my clients work with me specifically—I provide an experience for the people who attend my clients’ events that feels almost as autonomous as being in a real live in-person room.

The attendees get to choose where to go.

They get to choose who to talk to.

They get to choose to come and go…

And a surprising majority choose to stay! Just like my son this morning, the freedom to choose makes their decision meaningful, and when it’s meaningful it’s worth taking a moment to consider instead of simply react, and when these attendees consider it for a moment they realize why they signed up for the event in the first place.

And they stay.

(We have the data to prove it 😉)

5 days to podcast launch

✅ got some help correcting an automation

✅ straightened out (I think) an issue with the private podcast

Is 30 days a lot? It doesn’t feel like a lot for getting an interview-based podcast launched. Still, I’m happy with how I have taken certain things slowly so that I can test and iterate before I’m “actually” using everything. Like inviting only a few people to apply to speak and testing all the flows with them before opening the floodgates to anyone who might want to apply. Or launching the private podcast passion project to be sure I understand how the feeds work. It’s been a wise process these last 25 days.

I’m back on the (in person) stages! If you would have told me that I’d be giving a keynote seven weeks postpartum I wouldn’t have believed you. After three difficult postpartums I am so grateful that God had blessed this fourth to be so joy-filled and smooth!

Now to rest up 😉 Just because I can be on my feet for one day doesn’t mean I should overdo it quite yet 😅
