Standing ovations

This blog has been a little lonely lately because I've been consumed by all this reading. I just wanted to write a quick note about AGIdeas. I learnt quite a few things from the event, but the most important thing I observed was the difference between good and bad speakers. I found the speakers that engaged me personally were the ones that told a story. It is the process or the journey of any project that is the most interesting. Richard Seymour connected with the audience in such a way that he got a standing ovation. A part of this was because he gave every point or project relevance using a story and gave it life. The speakers that simply clicked through their folio and talked about the what instead of the how simply didn't resonate.
