Meaning Conference, Brighton 1-10-12
Ten great speakers, lots of inspiration and food for thought. A selection of tweets taking the temperature of the event. There were so many tweets and so much hashtag spam, my Storify only seems to have found tweets related to the afternoon sessions. But there was great stuff in the morning too!
#MeaningConf is going on in UK today. Awesome live stream of the event is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfG1lFP4MqI&feature=youtu.be Awesome job from @MeaningConf !!- In the morning I particularly enjoyed the sessions from Stowe Boyd, Indy Johar and Karen Pine (on how small changes to what we do can make a huge difference.)
Good warning from @Indy_Johar that we must be mindful to develop a sharing economy, not a rental economy. Important distinction #meaningconf
A few photos from the speakers we've enjoyed so far at #MeaningConf. There'll be more later! flickr.com/meaningconf
Here are the slides from my talk if you want to follow with the stream @meaningconf #meaningconf files.howtolivewiki.com/Vinay%20Gupta%… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfG1lFP4MqI- Vinay Gupta certainly raised the anarchy stakes and got people talking with his uncompromising stance!
Watching Vinay Gupta (@leashless) rip up #meaningconf - so dangerously inspiring and scary, amazeballs the rulers haven't killed him yet.
Valve is the most profitable company per employee in the world, oh, btw, they don’t have hierarchy, drive out fear! #meaningconf- Abundance breaks the financial system. @leashless putting some radical politics into #meaningconf instagr.am/p/QPo0xZsrko/
- Change: how to go about it, how to instigate, how to cope with it, was a universal theme.
- #meaningconf What else ? We do NOT have to ask permission to make change in these organizations ! That's my main takeaway !
One thing to remember of today: do something different to change behaviours! #MeaningConf- "Only in Scandinavian languages is there a word for happiness at work." @alexkjerulf #meaningconf twitpic.com/b036q8
- Alexander Kjerfulf got us thinking about happiness. Although 'work happiness' (ie "I pretty much enjoy what I do") is not measured in the same way as 'job satisfaction.' And yet they are not the same thing. Job satisfaction is actually less relevant.
#meaningconf stop measuring employee satisfaction measure happiness. The happiness that comes from meaningful work and good relationships- The food and drinks breaks were superior in all ways...
- Speakers Margaret Elliot and Pamela Warhurst told us of real action by real people - so far removed from the usual speakers at social media events I think people were quite taken aback. At least one tweeter admitted to having tears in his eyes at the end of Pamela's talk. A real TedX moment!
"We need to support a culture of 'us and us' and not 'us and them'" Margaret Elliot at @MeaningConf #meaningconf- @whatyousow; you must look into the work of Pamela Warhurst & @incredibledible - visionary talk at #meaningconf: we need this in Brighton!!
Heart-warming, inspiring story from @incredibledible about how they got Todmorden growing and renewed the town at #MeaningConf.- Luis Suarez of IBM had been tweeting prolifically through the day and then he was on last thing, telling us how and why he had stopped using email. Enlightening stuff.
