Richard Wilson: setting event topics so the founder keeps learning
Richard explained that he chose the topics at his own events partly because he wanted to keep learning. He connected that personal reason with the experience of long-term members.
The organizer was also in the audience
He said he had attended all of the club's live events to that point and decided what would be discussed. He described getting bored easily and used that as a reason to seek fresh content. These were statements about the program at the time of recording.
Repeat attendance affected the topic choice
Richard then connected the same approach with members who had been attending for a long time. The account shows an event organizer using his own continuing interest as one input to the agenda.
In Richard C. Wilson's words
"for our long -term members, we keep the content fresh in this way" (Richard C. Wilson, recorded Rainmaker Series module)
How to use this
- Review the agenda from the perspective of someone who has attended before.
- Identify what the organizer expects to learn from the next program.
