Here's 1 presentation goal for 2024,
be more like jazz than rock 'n roll
Rock 'n roll is the same every show
no room to adapt, no room to grow.
But jazz,
jazz is disciplined & also alive.
yes, it has a main tune,
but it also has space
to respond and thrive.
Think about this the next time you present.
Is there space to riff in real time?
Let the audience be part of your shine?
If the answer is no,
maybe your presentation should be video.

Note: Not every presentation needs or even should have space for improv, but more researchers should think about it, especially for longer presentations, like keynotes. Having the discipline to allow for space within structure is a game changing shift.

This is the #18thChapter of an #AntiNovel that attaches many elements: people, words, music, -- oh, music.
#TateMcRae#Grave --- this is the second time a Tate McRae has been used as a introductionary element.

What do Michael Jordan 🏀 and an 80s goth rock band 🎸 have in common?
The ability to build a winning team, and being able to adapt.
A winning team is greater than the sum of its parts. It didn’t hurt that MJ had the greatest rebounder of all time, but teams with equal or greater talent have struggled to win championships.
The Cult is a goth rock band 🎸 the rose to prominence in the 80s and are still touring today. For 4 decades, they’ve been bringing fans out to rock.
The Police is one of the best selling bands of the 80’s, and was stacked with some of the greatest musicians of our time, but their inability to work together broke the band up prematurely.
Know your team, and know how to get the most out of them.

Adapting is key. If you don’t adapt, you won’t succeed. To beat the Bad Boys Pistons 💀🏀⛹🏾♂️, MJ and the Bulls had to adapt.
I love 311, but they definitely struggled to adapt their music to wide appeal over the years. They maintained their core audience with some expansion, but their new albums struggled to resonate with audiences.
If you want to build long-term success, build a winning team and be willing to adapt.
This takes more than hiring the right people. It takes good data to act on, and a digital infrastructure to facilitate experimentation and innovation.
