austinkleon: “Talent hits a target no one else can hit; genius hits a target no one else can see.” —Arthur Schopenhauer “Instead of shooting arrows at someone else’s target, which I’ve never been very good at, I make my own target around wherever my arrow happens to have landed. You shoot your arrow and then you paint your bulls eye around it, and therefore you have hit the target dead centre.” —Brian Eno “I had a son, so I said, ‘I’m going to be a father for a while. I’m not going to rush into work. Let the work come find me.” I let the target draw the arrow, the arrows came my way.” —Matthew McConaughey

5 tips for first time TEDx attendees going to TEDxRVA

I’ve gone to a few TEDx events before, and wanted to share some tips to help first-timers maximize their enjoyment of TEDxRVA this morning:

  1. Arrive at the event with no expectations and an open mind. That will minimize your chances of disappointment. Only an empty vessel can be filled.
  2. Change seats between sessions (I think they’re calling them “Conversations” today). Meet the people on your left and right.
  3. This is not a social media conference. Being “in that industry”, this was a tricky one for me at my first TEDx. While tweeting, etc. is allowed at TEDxRVA, try shutting your phone off and giving it your full attention.
  4. Stay hydrated, and optionally caffeinated if that’s your thing.
  5. Take very brief notes: Speaker name, one or two main points/themes that they made. I’m giving this tip on the assumption that the live stream will be archived into individual talks. At my first TEDx, I furiously took notes, they realized after the event I would have been better served to take minimal notes and go back and watch the recordings of the ones that I needed to see again.

I hope everyone has a great time!
