Lots on Gene on other videos, so... coming soon to an AI produced audio or video near you...
👓 And now, please say hello to Paul Gaffney, CTO, here to present High Stakes Communication - How to Take Your Best Shot
A good message, that leaders need to understand the difference between enrolling vs informing.
“You want people to understand what you want them to do… and have their hearts and minds wedded to doing it.”
Interestingly, when the news came out that Amazon Just Walk Out was not using AI, but used 1000 people in India, @paul.gaffney's reaction was, "I KNEW IT!!!" https://www.businessinsider.com/amazons-just-walk-out-actually-1-000-people-in-india-2024-4
Decide to do something, do it, evaluate the result < PDCA
“I successfully enrolled people because I had done the homework to go deep.”
Going Deep is similar to the Technical Maestro... Great in the large and great in the small.
"The third thing is they’re good at the details too, and that’s unexpected. You don’t usually expect people who are good at the big things to be good at the small things."

Using this framework to look back on my last high stakes communication… 😳
It’s hard enough to hear my own recorded voice, now I’m getting the red pen out….
Retrospect! No other way to build skill than to go back and find the mistakes you’ve made. “Learning is the detection and correction of error.”
Understanding Intrinsic vs Extrinsic motivating factors is so crucial for that first pillar of success, “people”.
My fundamental motivations are … ? • Customer • Company • Me • Team • Society
Thank you @paul.gaffney for informing my communication plan for the reorg I’m leading 🙌 this is so timely
Please welcome Jon Smart, Founder, Business Agility Coach, and Leader of Sooner Safer Happier, who will present The Top 3 Patterns from Past Ways of Working You Need to Know!
Love drinking from the firehose (or hydrant) of learning at these conferences. 🙂

But… if our behavior isn’t changing, we aren’t really learning.
Both @jonathansmart1 and @botchagalupe are researching the past to unearth overlooked gems
Agile: the unknown, the novel Lean: the repeated
Absorbed about 10% of @jonathansmart1's talk... I love that it contains so much information, I will have to re-watch it many times. Much 💖
Thanks to the speech of Jonathan Smart I'm not even sad anymore there is no afterparty tonight!
So sad the conference is over, but super energized from watching.
Let's see if we can keep the Scenius and spirit of the conference alive on Slack after the conference ends!!
THANK YOU for the livestream this year! It was great to virtually connect and reduce the FOMO (slightly)!
