As some of your who know me, I prefer the less structured talks and events where there is more audience interaction. A one-way talk seems to me like you can just be reading a script so what’s the point? You can just read that. There is inherently more energy and surprise in the improvised events and that more reflects what entrepreneurship and life are all about. You have to adapt.
Recently (December 7, 2022), MIT Exec Ed ask Paul Cheek and me to sit down and talk with the Dean of MIT Executive Education, Peter Hirst, about the current state of entrepreneurship and basically produce content that will help get people to apply to EDP. Since I love EDP and I have seen it change so many lives, it was not a hard sale to get at least me to do it. Technically the title is “Unlock Startup Success with MIT’s Bill Aulet and Paul Cheek: Discover world-renowned frameworks and tools used by successful startup founders and corporate teams to build new ventures,” which is quite a mouthful. Don’t be scared. Once we start, it takes on its own wonderful trajectory.
You can tell when an event is going well and the response on the chat was great so am making that available now for you to watch if you want but know you can listen to it like a podcast if that is your preference. There were hundreds of people online peppering us with questions and comments so you will see improvisation in action. And I am confident you will find it useful and stimulating information in many ways while also being entertaining – and if done properly, the second reinforces the first.
Here is the link to enjoy it and many thanks to Peter Hirst, Ann Marie Maxwell, and the whole team at MIT Exec Ed who makes it possible to run EDP and other classes as well as this LinkedIn live event.
