clarity instruction so you've got to be
very very clear simple words
conversational and I think you got
understand what the audience wants and
also I think as you build quite a bit in
trust and get taken with you so and I
think structure is really really
important so you gotta you gotta distill
complexity into simplicity and that's a
real challenge take noise a cloud and
bring clarity to it and I think the only
way you actually get clarity is actually
by creation creating because the art of
creating actually creates clarity
because you've got to stop think does
this make sense and then as you create
you start to polish it so stuff with a
rough draft and then you keep polishing
it to finally going okay it's good
enough to hit publish so the art of
creation is something that it's
important for all of us as human beings
to actually one if you've discovered
your passionate purpose there's actually
not just to think of an idea and put it
down on a piece of paper and filed away
in a filing cabinet is actually be
willing to sit down create it and then
share it because that's where the magic
really happens is actually in the
sharing because what happens then is
that the world it basically talks back
to you so what we have is I remember
reading a book by way and I talking
about the superconscious which were all
connected as human beings the social web
is actually super conscience
superconsciousness enabled by technology
now so we're all connected Lena but
enabled by technology so I think you're
gonna be willing to be vulnerable in a
share your creation with the world be
willing to be wrong to be judged but
then you are in a place to be validated
and when you are validated you are so
empowered and then you become like on a
mission and that's been my experience
it's scary and for something was scarier
than others I was on the train coming
back from Bergen and I sat next to a
kindergarten teacher and she said I have
a choice to make as we had a
conversation said do I take this job
which is about what I'm passionate about
which is making education fun at what
makes kids happy because I'm a
kindergarten teacher that's what I'm
really curious about or do I go and live
in Bergen where my family is and needs
me as well and I said well why don't you
start creating a blog rather than take
the job but it's actually going to
restrict you and you're going to have to
you will not be able to publish because
you are going to have gatekeepers which
is the organization and that will be
your IP but you're giving your IP to
someone whereas the social web and
blogging and digital publishing empowers
you to actually share you're stuck with
the world with no filters and that's
incredibly empowering I said well maybe
you can go take another job in the town
look after the family and family
commitments but start a blog in parallel
bootstrap and do your own research
because what's to stop you you don't
need an organization so you need to do
research on this ok do it that is what
the social web delivers
