Kickstarting Volunteers: Getting stuff done with nothing
The first talk on at the Shopfront was mine. I made a deliberate decision to go first for a number of reasons: Get it over with; I was ready; I wanted the rest of the day to listen to the other talks.
I chose to read the talk from the world lightest, thinest laptop - no cables required. In other words I read it from paper. Why? Well when everyone goes Hi-tech, I go Lo-tech. All I need is a bit of paper, some light. I don't even need an audience.
I made the short title up straight away to let everyone know an immediate application of the talk. Easy to understand and say.
I started by going down to the Shopfront, picked a spot in the light, marked out my standpoint - I tend to walk when I talk so placing 2 markers either side keeps me in 1 spot. Had a chat to a few people who came down first. Then talked.
I'd timed the talk over about 5 times in practice to make sure it was < 20 minutes. It was about 15 minutes in all.
The images you see here are by @dan who really did a great job transcribing my major points into pictures. I didn't realise he'd done this till lunchtime till I started taking shots upstairs. Thanks Dan.
I first read out some keywords on what the talk was about, some quick concepts then read the talk.
Point 10 Motivation, "the mongrel factor"
The final personal quality is how much of the "mongrel factor" you have. No, it has nothing to do with "Blue Heelers" (the TV show) but the mongrel breed of dog. How hard do you "snap" and "snarl" to extract that last 5 percent effort required to complete a task? The difference between those who give up and those who succeed can partially be explained to how hard they are willing to push themselves.
