I used to love telesummits and spent endless hours listening to them. I even thought of organizing one myself. Right now however my head is busting with information I have no time to digest. The thought of another telesummit makes me feel slightly nauseous. So when a coaching friend said she was planning a telesummit I launched on just a little bit of a rant.
Yes I so much admired her bravery in undertaking such a big and challenging project. But I begged of her ” do it differently, and whatever you do please don’t call it a telesummit”. By any other name it would sound so much sweeter!
Yes, and please not hours and hours of talking heads. Some creative interludes, poetry, songs, whatever…. shorter punchier sessions. A spa day, or retreat week for the soul – not a telesummit for the burnt-out brain.
My friend fortunately did not take offense. She emailed me later thanking me for my suggestions about how to make her online event something more “sizzly.” Being how she’s such a creative soul, I can’t wait to see what she comes up with for her “UN-Telesummit! “
Love this post, Katie! I’m with you about the slightly nauseous feeling at the thought of another telesummit and info overload. Keep ranting! xx
Thanks Marilyn!
