Hey,Totally. People don't remember the content as much as they remember the feeling. This does take a massive change in how we thing about events – starting with planning for the participants first!Thanks for the kind words

Very good. Like Robin says below, we need to ACT in the moment. This does seem to be a recurring theme – to act immediately and not postpone

Great post and points…Your example of the following truly has my gears grinding this AM:”I think of conferences where we often find organisers and speakers cramming content down throats, without thinking about how those attendees will feel about the event as a whole.”First, so very, very true! Second, one rarely remembers the specific content but remember the emotion and energy of any particular conference one might attend. This makes planning of said conference even more pivotal should the organizers want to make this a regular event. Not necessarily an easy task, but a crucial one!Great stuff, keep it coming!

I think I understand what you're getting at: I feel I understand my brother-in-law better from a chat yesterday as much due to the tone of the conversation as the actual content.

Good, good times.To use some old-school Mihály Csíkszentmihály language, we were totally in the flow. A bunch of social marketing people being unselfconscious? Surely not. But we were there in that space and place 100%, and so free to be our full creative selves.By being looked after so well by Scott and Drew, we could actually relax, laugh and think.Gosh.

Wow. This is incredible!I like point 2 especially – the discipline to take action when you feel this peak state.That's a key right there. Once someone feels in that possibility state, we need them to act right there and then.We shall indeed discuss this further!

How do we translate feeling into action?Translating feelings into action can be enabled with two key focal points:1) a heightened awareness that you are at your highest action state when you feel the best. When those feelings of inspiration and motivation are streaming through your mind, body and soul, all of your' action gimbals' are aligned, making you an unstoppable force – at least, momentarily;2) the discipline to take action whilst experiencing this peak action state. The temptation is to experience the inspired, motivated state – the feelings – and maybe think or talk about the possibilities of what action *could* be taken, but postpone actually following-through. The trouble with this deferral is that the feelings that sparked the drive for action become quickly dissipated.That's just a summary – we can unfold this in future discussions.Best to you,Robin
