For many years I have pretty much lost my ability to feel emotions. Until some things happened, that changed everything for me. Earlier this Year I shared my story for the first time within the World Stage Challenge that Mr @Ben Sherry held in The Live Event Studio including - what needed to happen so that I would change - which steps I took to becoming and - what it actually means to become more yourself It has been an awesome experience back then. And I love to be able to have an even bigger one this time. Thanks @Lucas Reuterstig for creating this opportunity for all of us. 🤩 Can't wait to see how 30+ attendees show up as theirselves in here and creating your own signature talk. I'm super excited to see all of them. ☺️ @Dani Rosenblad James @Natalie Duncan @Emma Fábryová @Wolfram Grohnert @Doa Kaptan @Rodrigo Rios @Kevin Pagan @Sungsoo Choi @Fredrik Lyngmark @John Doorbar @Subhan Nair @Éva Raposa @Janet Little @Sam Dunlop @Semih Yalap @Anil de Vries @Amir Salemi @Danny Hansen @Tony Mulligan @Lindsay Bruce @Craig Gauvreau @Justin Yip @Jutta Wohlrab

I recently ran an internal AI training, and instead of slides I built an interactive website. Part of it lived on people's phones; the rest was on the big screen. I packed in everything I could: live quizzes, votes, word clouds, every bit of spice I could find. I even staged a moment where I left the room faking a phone call, leaving the audience facing an empty screen... until an AI assistant suddenly woke up and gave the next five minutes of the training itself, showing what's actually possible with AI. It worked. The audience loved it. This was the beginner session, and my goal was to open their eyes: the sky is the limit, and here's how you actually talk to an AI in a chat. Then I ran a second session for an intermediate audience. This one was harder. The topic was skills for AI, and it was tough to stage a "moment" that genuinely made sense. So I kept it simpler: a few votes and quizzes, plus one fully interactive section where the whole room built a skill together. But here's what nagged at me. I'd poured far more effort into my "website-slides" and the content than into the delivery. I moved around too much without intent, I didn't vary my pace, though I did use my body and hands a lot to carry the message. The whole time I felt like I was repeating myself over and over, and that I was boring people. The audience told me the opposite. They said it was amazing, that the first part felt like a show. The second worked too, because the more complex material needed concentration, so fewer effects and more focus on building together was exactly right. My takeaway: I need to prepare my speech even more than my slides. And I need to accept that the audience genuinely liked it. Out of 50+ people, I bored exactly one. :D So I'll ask you: how do you feel after you give a talk, and what's one concrete thing you do to improve for the next one?
