[Ailist] An experience of AI - looking for ideas

[Colette Herrick]

Mike,

Yes,  1-3 simple and affirmative questions on a topic that is  
relevant to the event. So at a leadership presentation, the questions  
would be on a "high point in leadership" what they value about  
themselves as leaders or  a "future question."

They might have 5-10 minutes each to be interviewed and the whole  
room can go from having to listen to "yet another powerpoint  
presentation"  to buzzing with energy and connection.

Kind Regards,

Colette
