#PKyvr33 Day 9: Hashtags As Memes

ThisMuchWeKnow

Yesterday, I shared that I want to create a few opportunities for memories for the audience. I find #Hashtags as a useful synthesis of an idea – to focus MY attention, so that I might focus others’. I can rattle on about this and that, but the constraint of pecha kucha forces behaviour, and it might be the most important area to focus on, assuming the content itself is worthy of presenting… So, here is a working list of hashtags I am using to synthesize the presentation process: #WorkLife: Share something grounded very much in the daily experience of work … Continue reading #PKyvr33 Day 9: Hashtags As Memes

#PKyvr33 Day 8: Creating A Memory Or Three

ThisMuchWeKnow

One of the pecha kuchas presentations I gave under the stairs was The Power of 3: that when you present, the best you can hope for is that people might remember three things you have to offer; that if you break down the flow into threes, there is a rhythm – a chunking process – that allows your audience to record data into their short-term memory. So, a pecha kucha with 20 slides, with the opportunity to share 20 points, with 20 images…what are the few chunks I hope others record? What would I hope that people take forward as … Continue reading #PKyvr33 Day 8: Creating A Memory Or Three

#PKyvr33 Day 7: Fred.

ThisMuchWeKnow

This <#PKyvr33> is my biggest pecha kucha audience. I want to talk about my smallest one… On the Thursday of my #WOLyo week, at 1129, I stood up to share a pecha kucha –  ironically on the topic of working out loud. I had an audience of none… The clock ticked through to 1130… I took a deep breath and prepared to share…when Fred wandered past. I waved him near…and I started presenting. Thereafter, we sat on the sofa and conversed, and shared data, about the need to reach for more. Fred has experience – in many things I know nothing … Continue reading #PKyvr33 Day 7: Fred.

#PKyvr33 Day 6: Just How Meta Can I Get? #WOLweek #WOLyo

ThisMuchWeKnow

Somehow, during #PKyvr33, I want to get this idea across, because I both like and despise how meta I get sometimes… This is a (pecha kucha) PK about my (working out loud experiment) WOLyo which included PKs, including one on PK; and one on WOL. Additionally, this PK was built using WOL (#PKyvr33) Is the idea that I have cubed the process? Or has WOL eaten itself? ←This Much We Know.→ Continue reading #PKyvr33 Day 6: Just How Meta Can I Get? #WOLweek #WOLyo

#PKyvr33 Day 5: Talk About What You Know + What You Think #WOLweek #WOLyo

ThisMuchWeKnow

Working out loud is a call to action: don’t leave your genius on a hard drive, or in this hard drive <taps forehead>, share it. Start with wondering: How can I help? Then #unSquirrel something. When I worked under the stairs I presented 10 Pecha Kuchas in 5 days. Some of the content I could do in my sleep, other topics I am NOT an expert on, but I have a perspective on – one that is not heard much ’round here. Maybe that perspective can help? SURE it can. Let’s WOLyo! I presented on the following topics, (with some colour … Continue reading #PKyvr33 Day 5: Talk About What You Know + What You Think #WOLweek #WOLyo

#PKyvr33 Day 4: Permission To Be Human #WOLyo #WOLweek

ThisMuchWeKnow

I don’t talk a lot about work, or my TMWK focus, when I am home. Family life is busy enough – there is nary a moment for open discussion. This weekend, though, Lori and I went out for dinner and to the cinema, so we had a chance to talk about #PKyvr33, and about the blog. Lori claims to read all the posts, and she gave me some lovely, simple feedback that is prescient to the #PKyvr33 process of explaining what the hell I did under the stairs at work for a week. I made a few notes on my … Continue reading #PKyvr33 Day 4: Permission To Be Human #WOLyo #WOLweek

#PKyvr33 Day 3: International Working Out Loud Week #WOLweek #WOLyo!

ThisMuchWeKnow

A few network connections have decided to work out loud next week. This calls for an INTERNATIONAL WORK OUT LOUD WEEK proclamation! Austen Hunter has the schematic, which he shared to a Yammer customer network: Of course, number one is the most important: Do something! #WOLyo is action oriented. My guess is that my #PKyvr33 process will suffice as my participation to the week. Look out for #WOLweek #WOLyo! for others’ efforts. Last night, at dinner, my partner Lori said: “You are discussing [the opportunity of] elevation through connection and community.” I like that, elevation. It will definitely synthesize somehow into … Continue reading #PKyvr33 Day 3: International Working Out Loud Week #WOLweek #WOLyo!

#PKyvr33 Day 2: Initial Notes #WOLyo!

ThisMuchWeKnow

I am presenting a pecha kucha about working out loud (and on presenting 10 pecha kucha in a week) at Pecha Kucha Vancouver Ed. 33.  This is the share of how it happens, laid out to be seen. You are welcome. I am using #PKyvr33 as a collation / curation tool. I get complexity and emergence. Really smart people can explain complexity and emergence. Me? I just get it. I work that way. I dip a toe; I iterate. I try things out. I fail (and slough it off like a snake’s skin.) This blog is my mechanism to deal … Continue reading #PKyvr33 Day 2: Initial Notes #WOLyo!

#PKyvr33 Day 1: Working Out Loud On A Live Project – Let’s Do This Thing #WOLyo!

ThisMuchWeKnow

A confluence of conversations and events leads me to this point. It’s time to put some skin in the game and work out loud (in the internet open) on a project. I worked out loud ‘under the stairs’ for a week at work to challenge myself about what sharing and #unSquirrel really means. I wanted to get away from technology, and into the real-time space of the person to person economy. I spoke about the initiative with various online contacts and one – @AustenHunter – suggested a #WOLweek. Sure! I attended #FUELvan conference and the organizer –  Susan Cox, who … Continue reading #PKyvr33 Day 1: Working Out Loud On A Live Project – Let’s Do This Thing #WOLyo!

The Person To Person Economy: #WOLyo!

ThisMuchWeKnow

Working out loud is similar to #unSquirrel: share first and always, overthink it some other time. #WOLyo! Is a little more applied that #unSquirrel because there is a clearer sense of communal process, of moving your team, project, network forward in commonality. #WOLyo! builds off others’ efforts. It is still based on the human endeavor – to add value, in whatever way we can, to others. At its heart, still, is the question: how can I help? By working out loud, people can find people, through new understanding, through (dis)agreement on content, through ‘who knew?’ breakthroughs. Working out loud is … Continue reading The Person To Person Economy: #WOLyo!

A Personal Commitment To The Person To Person Economy

This week I was involved in an online conversation with fellow CAWWers, including the inimitable Luis Suarez, concerning Sharing Economy services such as AirBnB and Uber, and Luis made this point: It’s more down to P2P, right?

#unSquirrel Manifesto 4: Work Out Loud #WOLyo!

ThisMuchWeKnow

What do we share when we #unSquirrel? Well, at work, our work will do for a start. Working out loud, in the open, is about the gift of knowledge, of assisting others (often unknown) in leveraging your skills and experience and attitude. Where does one begin? Somewhere. Share a project update (as widely as possible). Engage in a conversation about a topic on which you know things, or want to know about. Suggest an idea when no-one ask for it(!) Invite others into a project to help you. Do something. Do the opposite of what so many of us do, … Continue reading #unSquirrel Manifesto 4: Work Out Loud #WOLyo!
