The Olympics Opening Ceremony in Paris did its job. It grabbed eyeballs; and lots and lots of criticism. As a comms professional, I looked at the facts: "American broadcaster NBC said the procession was the most-watched start to an Olympics since London in 2012, while German broadcaster ARD reported it being the most watched in 20 years, according to International Olympic Committee spokesman Mark Adams." "The controversy over the Paris opening also prompted many to revisit videos of the London 2012 ceremony, available on the same YouTube Channel." In a world where events are starving for attention, this spike in viewership will surely make future event organisers sit up, notice and consider similar iterations for their own work. This is just the beginning. After all, the success of an event is wholly dependent on its impact. If no one watches, engages or remembers it, it is a failure. That's when it struck me. The life we live now is so global. Instantaneously, people all over the world can watch this performance (or snippets of it) in real time, or through recordings on multiple platforms. Just two decades ago, that wasn't common. (Youtube was born in 2005. Wow, I feel old.) "...86 per cent of respondents in France held positive views on the ceremony" ☝🏼 Personally, I didn't find the ceremony pleasant to watch, but the vast majority of the people physically living in that country seemed to have liked it. Perhaps it is a matter of mindset, cultural norms, societal norms or how they regard religion and history. Here is what truly matters: (1) the values I continue to nurture with my children; and (2) the values I enjoy sharing with my community. We have the choice to live in the place(s) that feel like home. Trying to force others to accept what we believe to be "acceptable", using our own definitions of what is "correct", is not the best way to invest our emotions and our time. Likewise, when we think of "how to get views" and make an impact - hold onto your values. Be crystal clear on what you're delivering to the table. P.S. The Olympics YouTube channel has since removed the video from their Youtube page.

With the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympics less than three weeks away, the French capital is bracing for an onslaught of visitors from all around the world. Along with 10,500 athletes, 20,000 accredited journalists and 45,000 volunteers, millions of spectators will descend on Paris in the coming weeks to watch the 329 events at 35 venues located in Paris, across the country and, with Tahiti’s iconic Teahupo’o wave, even overseas. As our chart shows, Paris 2024 is on track to be historic in terms of paying spectators. With roughly 9 million of the available 10 million tickets sold as of April 2024, the Paris Olympics have already exceeded the previous record of 8.3 million tickets sold for Atlanta 1996. Given the expected record-breaking attendance, Paris 2024 will be in stark contrast to Tokyo 2020, which was postponed to 2021 and held behind closed doors due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It remains to be seen whether Paris 2024 can achieve something that neither Rio, nor London or Beijing have managed: sell out all available tickets. With 97 percent of all available tickets sold, London 2012 came closest to selling out in the past four decades, while Athens 2004 struggled most to fill the venues with just 71 percent of tickets sold. https://lnkd.in/e28PG9Zr

Product Leadership Coach, Author of STRONG product people & STRONG product communities, Curator at Product at Heart
What resonated with me in Tim Leberecht's article is the powerful message about hope. In business, effective leadership isn't just about strategy—it's about creating and providing hope. This piece is a beautiful reminder of how, even in challenging times, hope remains our greatest asset. Highly recommend reading it!
The Olympics have been criticized and dismissed as outdated and nostalgic—the worst marriage of kitsch and capitalism—and the epitome of selling out. What began as a celebration of physical and spiritual excellence is now often seen as kowtowing to commercial and political interests. From tragic accidents to doping scandals, compounded by a recurring crisis of relevance, the Olympics have “jumped the shark” many times. Still, their staying power has been remarkable. Recently in The New Yorker, Louisa Thomas reflected on the astonishing degree to which the original vision of the modern Olympics persists. Despite the Games’ many flaws, she thinks they still promote idealism in a way that other popular sports competitions (e.g., the World Cup or Super Bowl) don’t. “The World’s Fairs have more or less disappeared from popular consciousness; the Olympics, in some sense, have replaced them, not only in their demonstrations of human achievement but in their projection of a more hopeful future,” she writes. The Paris Games prove her point. Only a complete cynic could have watched the unabashedly grand, ambitious, and sentimental opening ceremony and been left unmoved by the humanity of it all. Even the consummate grouches at The Sun dubbed the show “Seine-sensational.” Of course there were some hiccups—the mix-up between North and South Korea was a Biden-worthy gaffe—but, on the whole, it was a victorious showcase of French creativity and elegance. Neither the pouring rain nor railway arson could diminish its magic; la vie continue! Following the opening ceremony, the Paris Games have been reminding us what the Olympics do best: They produce hope. Continue reading: https://lnkd.in/dZyvkuzm

Is hosting the Olympics a triumph or a challenge for a city? 🏆 The recent news about Stockholm's bid to host the 2030 Winter Olympics brings this question into sharp focus. The Stockholm city council has shown strong support for Sweden's bid, amidst key meetings for potential Winter Games hosts. ➡️ This marks Sweden's renewed efforts after eight previous attempts, highlighting the persistent ambition and resilience: - International Competition: Sweden faces competition from France and Switzerland for the 2030 bid, with Salt Lake City being a strong contender for 2034. - Sustainable and Economical Approach: Stockholm's bid emphasizes economic and environmental sustainability, planning to use existing venues across Sweden and a sliding sports track in Latvia. - Changing Olympic Selection Process: The IOC now focuses on cost control and sustainability, moving away from the traditional voting system to avoid overspending and controversies. 🚀 What does this mean for us in business and life? - Sweden's repeated bids show the value of resilience - The emphasis on economic and environmental sustainability in the bid reflects a global shift towards responsible and sustainable practices - The IOC's evolving selection process is a reminder of the importance of adapting to changing environments How do you incorporate sustainability and adaptability in your strategies? https://bit.ly/3sVNHfB

In these hallowed days, the City of Lights dazzles the World with the splendor of the Paris Olympic Games, an event marked by such grandeur and flamboyance that only the French could orchestrate. If you have not yet witnessed the spectacle of these myriad competitions, you are surely far removed from the usual paths of society or secluded on a remote isle, untouched by the pulse of global media. Yet, while the world’s gaze is transfixed on these magnificent Summer Olympics, it is crucial to remember that the heart of the Olympic spirit pulses strongly from its headquarters by the serene shores of Lake Geneva in Lausanne, Switzerland. This was not always so. The visionary Baron Pierre de Coubertin convened the first Olympic Congress in Paris in 1894. In 1908, he contemplated Lausanne as a potential venue for a future congress. However, the outbreak of World War I compelled him to relocate the headquarters from a France imperiled by conflict to the politically neutral haven of Switzerland. Paris, the cradle of the modern Olympic movement, hosted the 8th Summer Olympics in 1924 and, exactly a century later, reclaimed her role as the epicenter of this global festival of peace and unity through sport. Baron de Coubertin, often hailed as a prophet of modern athletics, surely his spirit endures, permeating the Games and inspiring the entire Olympic movement. Amidst the tumult of current global conflicts, his prophetic words echo with renewed urgency: "Should the institution of the Olympic Games prosper, it can become a potent factor in securing universal peace." As we reflect on the Baron’s timeless message on this balmy summer afternoon, we are poised to embark on our next #learnywhere session, inspired by the ideals that have long championed harmony and understanding across nations.
