Some weeks ago I shared my challenges in preparing for a presentation for the TEDx Darling Harbor event. I ended up delivering what was on my mind – what drives my, that is what I want to change. The presentation could be no more than 18 minutes, (which is a challenge in itself) and also needed to be the first time presented (so if you have ever seen me speak – this content you have not seen before). Effectively the session becomes a one sided debate. The speaker presenting the argument, the idea, the challenge…the audience determining the robustness of the idea.
So I enclose below the outcome… I surprised myself at the depth and rawness of much of the content. Grab a cup of tea, have a look and let me know if you will take on the request I make at the end of the presentation. I look forward to hearing from you.
Imagine running a business based on fun - that's what I decided to try when I left a very serious corporate career in marketing to set up RedBalloon...

Great preso Naomi — am taking the challenge as a wider ‘live, breathe, do’ PR action and spreading it out! Authentic gratitude is pure FUN. Today’s example: returning the trolley to the car park’s trolley bay, and picking up a few abandoned ones along the way as my thank-you to the chap with the tractor responsible for hauling all the trolleys back to their rightful spot. His thank you – gifting me the shopping petrol voucher he’d found at the bottom of one of the trolleys.
Love it – Sort of the whole ‘pay it forward’ thing…
