Preparations Completion Date

With the steady stream of speakers, leaders and guests coming to the GCC we feel the need to set a date for completing the preparations, and that is 31st July. By then we shall have a complete and amazing schedule of speakers and activiites.

There are still slots for speakers, and they are running out fast, (the slots not the speakers). So if you feel the call to "Change the World in 7 days", contact us to say why you should speak at the GCC, and when your session can fit into out busy schedule.


As Winston Churchill said, on a darker and more chilling occasion
"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."

the Capacity to Hold Paradoxes

Working with Monique Morimoto Flaherty, JR Miller and Amechi Udo there's a strength from the tetrateam that surprises and delights me.

 

 

"I like the balance - yin-yang and the capacity to hold paradoxes.  The conference has the capacity to be unique and engaging, thought provoking and a learning accelerator." - Monique Morimoto Flaherty

The Flaming Badge

Proudly wear the flaming badge, I do.

Send me your postal address and I will mail you a flaming badge (or two)

Sometimes the craziest ideas catch on. For my own satisfaction I created a badge for the GCC through FAT and they sent me a bag of flaming badges. Now I want to send these small flames on their journies around the world.

What great fires may be started with these Flames of Passion?

Speaker from India (and Sweden)

I am delighted to add Ramnath Narayanswamy as a speaker at the GCC. He is a Professor in the areas of Economics and Social Sciences at the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore. His areas of interest include Business and Society, Economic Reforms in Transition Economies, Spirituality and Self Development, Entrepreneurship in the Creative Sector, Outsourcing, and Creativity and Innovation. During the fall of 2009, he is a visiting professor at the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg.

Unbundling Creative Potential
Creativity = the indisputably, the singular natural resource
Listen to how to unbundle creative potential. It's amazing.

Kathy Loh

Pleased to say that Kathy Loh will be speaking at the GCC. Have a look at her blogg and get inspired to allow changes to come into your life.

Toastmasters

As a member of the Gothenburg Toastmasters for the past few years I have experienced how the local groups support the development of the members as Public Speakers and Leaders through the use of performance guides and constructive feedback. I like the language they use "Become the Speaker & Leader you want to be"

Toastmasters

It occured to me that Toastmasters could contribute to the GCC in many ways. So, now I am discussing this with my local teams.

Stating the Obvious

How easy it is to assume that everyone is a mind-reader, and can read my mind.

I presumed that everyone knew that the GCC was a phone conference, and omitted to write anything about that on the GCC website. Silly me. And thanks to the people who have pointed it out to me!

Now added to the website.

Bob Janes

Delighted to confirm that Bob Janes will be talking about the Social Panorama Model at the GCC

TEDx and GCC

If you know about TED, then you know it's an impressive source of inspirational speeches delivered by professionals.

Now there's TEDx - local productions in the TED spirit.

I met the two guys, Carl Ternstedt and Axel Lindqvist, who ran TEDx in Gothenburg in 2010 and we came up with the idea of running the GCC 2011 as an audio-visual experience. That's an upgrade that I can happily get involved with. This is going to need a healthy budget, so there's all the more reason to "moneterize" GCC 2010. I will have to get my thinking cap on.

Carl and Alex brought me up to date on how the phone audio could be broadcast through the Internet and could be listened to live on any PC / Mac. Thanks guys, my head's still spinning.

Updated the GCC Website

About time!

Well OK. I promised that the recordings from GCC 2009 would be available until the end of 2009, and so they were. Now I am recycling them into an interesting package for promoting the contibutors and the GCC 2010.

It's all at Global Coach Conference

the Facilitator

... and when I asked the world for the fourth vertex for the tetrahedron ... Dorothy Eckes popped up, literally.

Thanks Dorothy for volunteering to facilitate meetings for coaches around different themes.

The Audio Technician

Exactly when I needed it, MJ volunteered to take care of the audio ...






"My old training was as a sound engineer and producer, so I know all about getting the best out of audio.

The offer is this, let me clean and compress the audio from 2009 and convert it into high quality, low size files such as wma.

I'm sure there are many coaches that would be willing to contribute free information products to this cause.

We can create a bundle and sell it on at a highly reduced rate along with premium features for the GCC 2010 conference.


This would enable some cash back to the organizers and contributors to GCC 2009 and offer a great pushing point for the GCC 2010 conference."

The Interviewer

John Nixon has agreed to be the Interviewer for GCC2010. We don't know what that means in detail yet, but I am looking forward to some interesting questions from John as he probes the "Whys and Wherefores" of the GCC.

Thanks John
