The Secret to Lassoing the Laggards So They Listen
Apr 28, 2018I could have titled this Daily as "The Secret of Giving Introductions that Get People Coming Back." It all started with Marjorie Barstow.
I used to marvel how Marj introduced Alexander's discovery to beginners.
It was a contradiction. I knew what Marj was going to do, and yet I never knew what would happen. Marj was both deliberate and experimental; predictable and spontaneous; repetitive and original.
Her presentation was not some improvised affair thrown together on scrapes of paper - it was the result of a lifetime of thinking. It was precise and planed - every question, idea and story calculated to extract engagement.
For example - after attending many of these, I finally noticed how Marj used questions. She didn't TELL people, she ASKED people. Her dialogue was peppered with questions and raised eyebrows - gentle, piercing looks that lassoed laggards into her field of attention.
I marveled at the time - I couldn't imagine my Self being so exact.
How detailed is your introduction to Alexander's work?
Until meeting Marj, I was pretty loose fitting and free. Even after Marj, I still made a lot of it up as I went along.
And then I discovered something.
Marj was right. You need precision. You are telling a story - THEIR STORY - and you want to capture their interests, emotion and engagement. How did I find this out?
I entered in a harsh landscape.
A place of barren faces
of bored and restless looks
of craggy tempers and impatience
oh the Corporate house for me!
Yes - your first Corporate workshop.
Entering a room of obligated staff worrying about all the tasks that fall behind as they sit uninspired by you - your job is to transport them.
To sweep them away, to carry their minds into another world - and you better script that. Moment to moment, minute to minute - until each word, each story is crafted for its full effect.
This is markeaching at its grandest - a form of infotainment - designed to capture the attention and minds of your audience. To succeed in business, your workshop better be 9 out of 10, with 80+ participants voting for me.
But fret not possum - help is on the way.
In my Getting Alexander Work in Corporations, you will be crafting the script of your first Corporate workshop. Because everything will depend upon it.
