Notes from episode #71
Go straight to the point, working in live entertainment and working with what you have on stage and in the room, including the audience. Balance between preparation and get to the point where it is going to be interesting. Want the audience
Leading to the interesting audience to go further in thoughts and inspirations. Prepare to not miss the point, specific constellation and topics. Love of the dissertation, French away of using key angles to organise the conversation. Organising the conversation time. Prep is essential because you need to go where it hurts immediately.
Owning the material and putting it into words. Make sure that the promesse is delivered to the people, that the promisses are being kept. You can not offer scripted content, you have to allow flexibility.
Time is so scarce, we need to move on and lets be informed to act. Unique constellation of people on stage, so now or never it’s the moment to ask your questions.
Almost choose a path of a musician. Connection with Berlin and how the city changed. Time boundaries and the people meet in different ecosystems. Going abroad to get foresights. Balance in expertise and research.
