In the taxi on my way to the airport. The plane for Stockholm leaves in one hour. Last night I gave another lecture on social media, this time at the Hyper Island school of digital communication.
I love giving lectures for several reasons. One, obviously is that I learn from the participants. Another one, just as important is that I learn from myself. By forcing myself to structure and communicate my thoughts, they become clearer and more useful. I often leave a lecture with the feeling of having learnt something new from myself.
This particular audience was what Hyper Island refers to as a “Master Class” – an international audience of professionals with several years experience of communication – digital or otherwise. While I can appreciate on occasion to talk to a novice audience, meeting one with more experience, such as this one, is even more rewarding. The questions are more challenging and they catch on much quicker. All in all this was a very good audience, and I hope they (you?) made yourselves over to our blog here. Thank you for listening.

Thanks Walter! I think also we had intresting conversations about new medias and so on. I like the story about the “kidney man”, intresting way to do attention. Best Regards, Ola Westher member of Creatives 846.
Thank YOU for an excellent lecture which was a pleasure to listen to (and interact in) Walter!
