All Set?

All Set?



This is the venue where I am hosting the 2016 Professional Conference Organisers Association Conference.

Everything is good to go.
The venue is all dressed up.
My run sheets are finalised.
Introductions are all complete.
Speakers have been briefed.
All the AV is sorted and I have spoken with the AV team.
I have posted a lot on the App so people know who I am.
Over the welcome networking I have been chatting to people for a warm start.

I am all set.

It is amazing how the better the preparation I do, the better my performance.
The more I put into an event, the more the delegates and the clients get out of it.

What about you Dear-Reader?

Do you do enough preparation, planning, and pre work to ensure you are a success?

Are you all set?

What Do You See?

What Do You See?



Having a Vision for the future is so important. It drives your actions and desires and gives you a reason to do what you do. It helps define your "Why."

Of late, we have seen politicians the world over trying to create a vision of the future (even if that vision is based on useless foundations).
Although, it has been missing in Australia for some years. We lack a vision of what the future Australia will look like and how we should work for it.

It's not just politicians. We also need a personal vision. What do we want our future to look like? Where will we be, what will we be doing, who will be with us, how will we achieve fulfilment?

Too often people bumble along in their lives and never achieve the fulfilment they crave. Part of this reason is that they have not defined it.

Dear-Reader, do you have a vision? Do you work for this vision and know that it is worthwhile?

By the way, it is OK if you don't have a vision. All you have to do now is create one.

Creating a vision and the action plan to support it is one of the things we will be doing in the 2017 Success Session coming up in December.

If you want your 2017 to be your best year ever, come along to the day long planning session. I would love to see you there.

Dear-Reader, when you look to the future, what do you see?

And the Winner Is ...

And the Winner Is ...

It has been said that business is a game. If so, how do you play?
Who is the winner at the end?
Who is the winner as you go?

The arts are a great place for competition. The true artists know that it is not about them or their production, it is all about the audience, their customer. By making their customer the winner, they become winners too. 

As an example, I saw a fabulous piece of improv theatre last night by my favourite improv troupe, Impro Melbourne. It was team against team, both striving for points. Both teams had been magnificent making us laugh, ponder, pause, even cry (almost) and at the end of the final round, the scores were level.

Oh no!

The host then declared a best of three Hat Off to decide the winner. A Hat Off is where the two players act out a scene while wearing a hat. Each player has to try and get the hat off the other player in the context of the scene. If they get it, they win. But if they try for it and miss, then they lose.

The first two out of the best of three competed and played well. But again, at the end of those two rounds the scores were still level. The final round would be the decider.

Two fine players, Rik and Katherine stepped up to the mark and as they started Rik did the unthinkable. He did what no one expected. He took his hat off and threw it on the floor in front of Katherine. He then told her to not pick it up as it symbolised their love and if she did it was over. A bit of toing and froing and finally Katherine succumbed and picked it up making her team the winner.

The real winner was the audience. RIk knew that throwing the hat down had a huuuuge chance of their team losing the match. But what it meant was that the audience got something unexpected. It got a framework of temptation that they had not thought about. Their level of tension and enjoyment was kicked up a notch.

They left with an increased feeling of satisfaction and an increased likelihood of returning and bringing their friends with them.

In great customer service, the focus has to be on the customer. Only by making the experience fantastic and memorable for them will your business continue to thrive. When you start to compete against your customer, you will always lose.

Dear-Reader what about your customer? What would they say if you asked, "And the winner is?"
