Very innovative of you! I think the video format will work well for many people – it is more engaging for a casual audience. For your poetry I can imagine both a spoken delivery and a written copy being provided. Very detailed material will likely be better served written only, but in general it should open up a potentially wider audience. Great thinking!

DIEGO’s RESPONSE:
Hi Owen, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Yes, I am trying to stay true to my purpose and message whilst experimenting with formats that have wider appeal; I was a bit worried the video was a bit too amateur, but the feedback so far has been great. Thanks for dropping by and sharing your thoughts!

Great video and thanks for the mention! I do need to point out that those elements of a story came from Dan and Chip Heath's book, Made to Stick. Be sure to pick up a copy and thanks for coming to my sessions. Keep fighting the good fight, Spike DIEGO's RESPONSE: Hi Spike, so good to see you visiting! Yes, now that you mention it you did say at the workshop (or was it at the talk?) that the concepts come from 'Made to Stick'. I will deffnitely grab a copy and have a more in-depth read of the concepts in what seems like a great book. Thanks for dropping by so quickly and for leaving a response to my article!
