Q & A
What was the main topic of discussion in the initial LinkedIn live sessions?
-The main topic of discussion in the initial LinkedIn live sessions was financial freedom, which was chosen to allow for broad participation and to showcase different perspectives.
Why was there a shift from LinkedIn live to LinkedIn audio?
-The shift from LinkedIn live to LinkedIn audio was to engage the community more effectively, allowing more people to participate and share their views, rather than just having a conversation between two people.
What was the feedback from the audience regarding the LinkedIn live sessions?
-The audience appreciated the writing and storytelling, and they were impressed by the clear and strong portrayal of multiple characters. However, some attendees did not stay to interact after the session, indicating a need for better engagement.
What is the purpose of a pre-autopsy and a post-autopsy?
-A pre-autopsy is conducted before launching something to anticipate what could go wrong and how to mitigate it. A post-autopsy is conducted after an event to assess what went well and what didn't, and to decide whether to continue or improve the activity.
How does the concept of 'standing still in places, jobs, relationships' relate to the discussion?
-This concept is one of the potential topics for future discussions, aiming to explore why people stay in certain situations and how to make the most of them, or decide if moving on is the right choice.
What was the issue with the initial LinkedIn audio format?
-The issue with the initial LinkedIn audio format was that it was not recorded separately, making it difficult to access later unless recorded manually. This limited its potential as a podcast or a reusable content format.
What is the role of the community in these discussions?
-The community plays a crucial role in these discussions by providing diverse perspectives, engaging in conversations, and contributing to the collective knowledge. The goal is to foster networking and deeper connections among members.
How can the community members continue conversations after the LinkedIn audio sessions?
-Community members can continue conversations by booking time slots to have one-on-one discussions with those they found interesting during the session. This can be facilitated through a simple booking system provided by the organizers.
What are some potential topics for future LinkedIn audio sessions?
-Potential topics include discussions on personal growth, professional development, relationships, and controversial issues that are not typically discussed openly. The aim is to encourage open dialogue and deeper understanding among community members.
How can the organizers manage the stage during LinkedIn audio sessions to ensure effective participation?
-Organizers can manage the stage by limiting the number of people on stage at any given time and removing participants once they have spoken. This ensures that those who have not yet spoken get a chance to contribute and keeps the discussion focused.

year and a half so I keep learning more
about it every time I do it um and I I'm
able to because now I'm not as much in
the memorization because I remember it
it's in my long-term memory so I can now
dig into editing it and bringing out
more the the nuances so it's nice to be
able to do that um very nice very very
nice and what was your feedback from

in Tina is telling me that she's joining
um I'm not getting any response from any
of the other mentors no problem that's
fine let Tina join in do you have your
questions on your autopsy that you will
be asking everyone I'm typing up the
last two
now okay yeah you can just copy paste it
on slack into a doc and we can share it
so guys let me give you the purpose of a
um an autopsy whenever we um so we
always do a pre- autopsy and a post
autopsy and um the pre- autopsy is when
we um are now about to launch something
and we figure it we start with
everything went wrong what is it that
went wrong with it and how could have we
how could we how could we have
mitigated what would have gone wrong
right um a post autopsy is when it
happens and we often invite people who
have been there and you know it's very
framed within questions to really kind
of
decide um are we killing this is this
something actually that we want to
continue is this something that we want
to continue that we can make better and
who does it serve right so the that's
kind of the the framework of pre and
post and we do it in all different kinds
of things like when we go to trade shows
we have them before and what we found is
it really helps us to get very clear on
what we're doing well and what we're not
doing well or sometimes to just kill
things right um uh in term in in terms
of stuff so um Monifa can you please um
just maybe copy paste into chat the
questions to the chat no problem I have
it in the do as well if you want me to
share my screen okay go ahead if you
want and and and share your screen or
put it in chat but let's start having a
discussion about it hello Tina
uh Jillian and Felix you guys don't know
each other Felix thank you for being up
in
Singapore I'm good no
worries yeah we've talked a lot in the
in what'sapp though yeah so Felix I
actually I don't know Felix how long
have we known each other eight years
nine years I don't know how how it's
like a long time Felix I met through the
it's probably around nine years it's
20115 I remember two so Felix I met as
part of uh there is a group called um W
what is it called World Summit Awards
yeah World Summit Awards which are apps
for social good um in developing
countries and uh Felix and I were uh uh
two of the judges along many many others
um met and where did we meet Felix in
Brazil or Bahrain or
where
aeran maybe aan okay yeah aeran so I
think have you been aeran I have been to
the aeran one okay then probably there
I'm probably there okay cool all right
good okay so um I'll set set the the
context around the LinkedIn live and
then we'll ask and we'll kind of go
through the questions so we have been
having LinkedIn live videos for the last
year um and we really wanted to switch
you know I never keep things the same um
uh uh rinse and repeat and what we know
noticed it was talking AP only the host
and the our expert were speaking and our
audience members who are tend to be most
of our community they were not really
getting engaged and the conversations
were were just a conversation between
two people and I I happened to come
across audio and I said you know what
this might be a great format for us
right as a community that we all have a
point of view and a different point of
view on things so I think the first
question would be in terms of the first
LinkedIn live if we talk about it if
LinkedIn audio died that audio would
anybody actually miss it and
why if you had to answer that do you
think that our
community really enjoyed that and they
would miss it or or
or what were your what are your thoughts
around
that well I I I'll I'll in first I think
the audio aspect is quite important for
LinkedIn I think because podcast are
quite the in thing and it's probably
more convenient if you could just access
the podcast from your handphone while
you're driving or through the car car
stereo system and people will just
listen and run through and fast forward
as and when they can see that so
probably they feel they should be able
to assimilate participate well not
really participate if this post
assimilate more and uh lightly
gain content or insight into things
which may be of topical
interest okay so uh I want to put in
here audio once as it happens it's no
longer
available right unless you record it
separately right so LinkedIn audio it's
you know you go in you have a
conversation that conversation H happens
in there and then it's done you have to
record it separately for it to actually
become a podcasts and available to
everyone I I think that's probably
linkedin's failure to understand there's
possibly a monetization model behind it
because podcasts are generally used for
influencers to gain followers right and
in gaining followers then you get
advertisers and then therefore they get
revenue from it but that's not my
audience right talking about us as a
community Jillian what is your thoughts
around this
I mean I think that the the value of
audio is that people don't need to
necessarily be prepared to be on video
so it's more accessible um and I think
that the ability to
have 10 to 13 different speakers you
know at any one time on the stage like
people
felt um you know the more if if they
have if they know that they can
contribute I think people listen more um
and um because for a lot of people it's
about they want to put in their own two
cents and so that kind of excitement of
like I get to say something is um is
really good on from the audio and I
think a lot of people wanted to say
something as well but I think that if
you talk about like missing it I think
it's something that if it it's it's hard
to miss something that happens once
right so I think it absolutely AB
exactly like if it was something that
they were happening a lot you know like
um yeah so the plan was to have this now
happen once a week and have the
community host it themselves right and
uh I before we do that I want to really
make an analysis on If This Were
something frequent where you had your
own kind of Gleek community and group
and be able to go guys we're having a
live I'm having a live this week um you
know join in we have a very very active
Community if that audio would be the way
for them
to yeah I think it's I mean it's it's
easier to commit to an audio than it is
to commit to a a video a video for sure
um Felix Town Hall audio is great but
yeah I actually I I actually think
because what I do is I normally listen
to podcast in a car and and apparently
when I check with other people they do
the same thing and um you don't want to
be face to face in a video call when
you're driving or or you know where else
you can you can you can stick in your
butts in your ear and you can listen to
an audio right uh you can probably if if
the crowd doesn't matter you can get
ambient noise while you're chatting in a
coffee shop cafe or whatever it is but
but it's not a private thing it's it's
an open thing private thing I'm now here
in front of my computer talking to you
girls it's private but it's not private
the moment you leave the space and time
yeah I understand and you know I
understand both your points of view so
Philip is seeing I mean Felix is seeing
it more as a a podcast and you are
correct Jillian I'm seeing it more as a
community engagement let's have a
conversation on a topic um and and you
know it might be both audiences we don't
know we haven't had enough yet but I
think what I'm hearing from both of you
is there is potential in it
correct yeah I think that if well there
are two things AI obviously can extract
The Conversation Over the coffee our
coffee engagement Community Town Hall
thingy right and I don't know whether
there's wisdom to be gained from it
that's one part but the second part
about it is that if you need a glue to
get a community talking maybe this is
one way but you can't stop the rest who
don't want who you can't stop the rest
of the L who don't want to get
in yeah of course of course all right
let me ask you a question what metric
goal um or
experience um and it would be of this
right so I think it's both of you
looking at different goals so what what
would be the experience that does not
exist if this did not exist so I guess
my question to you on here would
be are you guys tapping into each other
enough to be able to get each other's
point points of views or do we do do we
need as a community these types of
things to make sure that this is how you
guys tap into each other and get
conversations with each other I I think
it's the latter because I think this
community isn't going to get sticky on
its own yeah and you are the and you are
the glue San so what are what is your
thoughts around here
Jillian
um yeah I mean it it brings something
very different than the WhatsApp the
WhatsApp is sort of like um you know
it's especially in a WhatsApp group with
a lot of people it's it's hard to sort
of like continue a conversation without
feeling like you're kind of dominating
the space or you know like it's more
about just sharing a resource and
backing off so right now like as as far
as I know of GLE it's this is kind of
the
only um it's the only way to actually
like meet other
mentors and like and have a conversation
with them so okay Co that is pretty
valuable yeah okay so it is serving in
terms of the community um uh as a
network maybe as a under the under our
vertical of networking with each other
this could be a service of networking
with each other um and you know we allow
the outside world to hear our
conversations right um but but certainly
it feeds okay um uh how do we honor uh
the wisdom of our guests beyond the
audio so I mean technically we can
record I know I heard Felix you saying
some AI you know could be you know we
can extract stuff but how do we if there
are golden nuggets in those
conversations like how do we honor our
guests beyond beyond that you know of
what might come out of that bulletin
board of some sort I don't know I know
how people post not not posted pets on
on
BS okay J quotes quotable PS yeah yes
yeah I mean it's it it depends
on taking ownership of it like for
example if somebody is saying you know
maybe part of if if people are you know
requested to organize maybe part of that
request is that they also share maybe a
short summary like a a LinkedIn short
summary where it but it can also be a
good way of like creating fomo for
people to come in for the next time
where you're just like you know in this
um in this session so and so said this
and this and we had really great
conversation about this particular topic
you know oh you missed out okay well
sorry come to the next one you know okay
I like that I like that okay um and I'm
to further to further what Julian said
once you have done that is the reason
why you link back to the audio that you
have recorded mhm that draws dra back
that draws them back into the
conversation they didn't have yeah but
I'm I'm so I'm a performer right I'm
like you didn't make I you want present
tense you don't want past tense right
you didn't make it to the performance
too bad for you you know
like the video the video is not GNA be
like anywhere near good as you sitting
in the audience experiencing that so
like I can tell you what was awesome
about
it all right my next question is going
how do we just take it to the next level
you got to be there if you want to
experience it sorry that's all right I
love that Julian how do we take it to
the next level like what if you if you
think back of that audio that we had
like how would we have taken that I mean
it was our first one that was our first
trial guinea pig that we're trying to
rip apart before we rule out like you
know a whole series of them um how would
you take it to the next level now you
know I'm going to chime in here I chose
a topic that was nothing to do with our
industry expertise um and I don't know
if my I almost think that I want to do
that for the
others um just because it shows a
different side of our points of view so
let me give you an example of some of
the topics I was thinking
of
um topic two standing still in places
jobs relationship ship why we do it how
do we make the most of it and a road map
on figuring out if moving on is right
for us I'm just throwing some topics out
for you topic three when is cheating
okay at school work and relationships
and and or our own
values topic four how do we get those we
love and respect in work and Life to
accept us as we flirt with the different
versions of
ourselves I'm just throwing out random
topics to you topic five how to live
longer and healthier our pretend doctors
and healers chime in with their
tricks
um um topic seven learn from the misses
and wins and choose the right partner
employee in business Andor life should
we keep it very open that that allows
everybody to chime in or should we get
very specific on you know our our our
our other lives LinkedIn lives was very
industry specific what are your thoughts
on that
guys what do you want from that
conversation San we have it's networking
and it's for the community it's for the
community to get to know each other and
to be able to have conversations with
each other okay if you if you want to
say it's for the community then I would
say you go from uh inverted pyramid
concept which is broader into more
serious and I think you have a time
limitation right yeah yeah yeah we we
did it for half an hour MO pretty fast
from the general into the specific in
like about maybe 30 minutes or less what
are your thoughts on this um uh uh uh
Jullian now we can have it doesn't have
to all we can have seasons right we can
have a season of personal conversations
we can have a season of professional
conversations we can have a season of I
I I just I'm trying to if it's the
purpose is networking I can't get too
specific on a sector or a topic because
then I might start excluding that was my
thought but I I could be completely
wrong so I B I have I have a few things
um one is like um it's just a just a
quick feedback on that session is that
it was it was broad enough in that like
it
was it was allow we did allow for a lot
of different um you
know it allowed for a lot of different
perspectives however like honestly if if
you had not told me that it was actually
about trans transformation I would have
never joined because like for me like
you know the the Financial Freedom you
know sort of topic was like really far
away from what I feel exactly and I saw
that I saw that I saw that when I get
very specific on a particular unless
it's applicable to everyone I'm already
isolating people in the um so I and so
like because I knew that it was kind of
that you had a broader um thing
perspective that you wanted to talk
about so then I was that was why I was
there but if I hadn't known that I
wouldn't have been there um and I think
also that um just the number of
questions was like uh in a in a 30
minute time is like really you know like
we were able to to quickly quickly get a
lot of different thoughts um so that's
one model or you know to to take like
maybe one question and spend more time
for each person to you know um to share
on it it kind of depends like are you
facilitating every time are you meeting
mediating every time do you no I'm not
I'm not that's the thing right like I I
EV I I wholeheartedly want to give you
guys some of these topics and let you
guys host you know and I've had several
of you come to me going can I host the
next one can I host the next one right
but you know um it's a trial and error
right some of you are going to be very
natural at it some of you are but that's
the whole reason of the community is
that it's not a one person right
everybody can raise their hand and come
up and you have
co-hosts right and and would you want um
like do you think it would be something
where the people would would volunteer
the topics as well or do you want to
keep control over the topics I think
once as we set a pattern for the first
couple then and and we allow everyone to
then start crowdsourcing we just need a
rhythm to it right and I'm just thinking
of the next three or four of going okay
what's the Rhythm that we can set
because the minute we set the Rhythm it
happens every Tuesday or Thursday at
this hour then everybody gets into their
pattern and then at that point it would
be this week Jillian is hosting it next
week Felix is hosting it this one is
whoever is hosting they have a little
structure of going okay it can be as
open or as wide as this and and we know
you know you'll get those 20 30 40
people within the community that's going
to come in but I I I I do feel that I
don't want it to be a technical topic
because we start
excluding yeah and and I guess also
there's another um this for example if I
were hosting you know like um I would
have no idea you know who's random and
who people like us I don't know
everybody so like if somebody you know
puts their hand up and they want to
contribute I would have no context of
who that person is and you know if
they're part of the network so that's
also sort of a a technical challenge to
be like no no I don't think so I think
you your personality will carry it
through I I don't worry about that part
but I actually I have two parts of this
one single question the first part is at
what depth do you want to go San that's
one part because if you if you have got
like 20 people in that room there's no
way you can cover all 20 people that's
one part yeah I don't think we can I
don't think we can do depth I think we
can only do Breath Right depth I is
going to happen when it's a smaller two
or three people going deep on a
conversation if the purpose of this is
networking and you guys getting to
understand each others I mean you came
out of that Jillian I think probably
going oh I know what who Aisha is now
and what she thinks about things the 65
year old oh I know we have this you know
um whoever it might be you know the 23y
old who knows right it's it's giving
It's s surfacing you guys up so that you
know each other
exist um so I think it's breath I don't
think it's going to be depth in yeah and
especially if you want to keep it 30
minutes then it's very it's very like t
t t and it's it's kind of like this a
speed networking thing that I just I
went to last weekend where it's like uh
speed dating but for for like business
where you basically like sit in front of
you get like three minutes to exchange
your your work and then you move on and
and it's just enough to know like do you
want to speak with this person further
or not so it's almost like that but what
I think is not happening in the next
level let's go back to the question is
if there was somebody you really want to
get to know and speak with after the
session how does that happen now that
was that was the second part of my
question because I said after this thing
is over and I said okay I need to talk
to Aisha and so and so what happens next
yeah so that that is what I would need
to facilitate for you guys where um you
know uh we have a page where you can
just book time and book like 15 minutes
to chat and get to know each other so
what I can do is create a version of it
um can I share my screen
please um um Monifa okay so let me start
sh let me show you guys so what yeah I
guess because it also depends on how
much of the facilitation you want to do
in that or just be like you know it it
because people know that we're there
publicly so you kind of know okay Aisha
I know her name now and I can just go to
her LinkedIn and send her a contact or I
what I can do is anyone on all of you
guys here in the session this is a
version I can just you know we can call
it LinkedIn audio and your profile show
up and you can just go in and go in each
other's rooms look at each other more
and you can just book and I can limit it
to oh I want to book 15 minutes with um
with Jillian and continue that
conversation do you understand what I'm
saying so I allow you guys to do that if
you want to do that or I mean you're
correct also it can be you can go to
LinkedIn but do I want to facilitate
post that session that you guys can very
quickly to talk and chat with each
other what are your thoughts
there do you want to be the Matchmaker
all the time no I don't need to be the M
but what I found is if I don't make it
simple for you guys you don't do
it that's very life
happen totally life happen so
technically
I want to be able to go okay everybody
who had a conversation whoever you loved
today and has a point of view and you
want to get to know better and I just
post the link right there I'm like go
right now and Book 15 minutes with that
person and if I make it that simple
you're more inclined to do it versus I
say to you guys okay go check out the
LinkedIn profile and da D everybody gets
shy again and goes back into their
absolutely
correct yeah I mean I think it's
interesting because I but also it's it's
it's a really it's sort of like Anyway
from that LinkedIn live like I'm I'm
sure I connected with at least two or
three people like here and there um just
you know but I didn't follow it up it
was just like oh this person is
interesting I'm going to go you know say
hello like connect with them but I think
if it was like if it was
there it's it's much more it's much more
of a serious thing to be like I'm going
to go book time with this person to meet
like you know for me I just five minutes
for a coffee and I we encourage that so
the yeah the encouragement or the the
kpi we set for ourselves is from this
conversation if there's someone
interesting here that you want to have a
conversation with go book it now and we
give and right where you can go do it
and it forces you guys to actually start
getting to know each other yeah yeah
it's and it's it's for me definitely
like if I'm I would have to really think
someone is super interesting to book
time with them and then it would like
but it would be a very different
approach like just someone on LinkedIn
okay but like to be like Oh I'm going to
talk to this person oh man you know like
I have but we don't need to make it we
don't need to make it formal it might be
is there anyone here today that you
would love to have a coffee a virtual
coffee with and continue the
conversation right you you don't have to
make it that you know but it it it
allows you guys to be able to do that I
mean yes yeah interesting it's an that's
an interesting Service uh like
facilitation service
offer okay um uh uh Felix how do you
feel about that I I'm wondering whether
you're training us to do something in
for the future which means that uh you
want us to manage the little um 5 Cent
lemonade stand and get people to book
all our time slots it's is that what
you're training up to do no I I'm I'm
training you guys it uh I would say in a
couple of things right so I mean clearly
in terms of the client booking in terms
of the the system that's entirely
separate that sits on their system but
what I'm finding is that many of you are
coming to the network and you you you
are seeing people you actually want to
meet and you want to do stuff with and
you want to know better within the
network but you guys are not on your own
even if you're in the same WhatsApp
group not taking the initiative on your
own to do that and I'm thinking I'm
sitting and I'm seeing it happening many
of you as you know I think I did it even
today I create separate groups with you
guys going Felix please meet this person
Jillian please meet that person and I'm
thinking to myself how do I create a
place that almost like instead of me
inviting you to my house going guys come
have coffee and introduce you guys
create this audio space where you are
having some rich somewhat you know even
though it's breath Rich conversations
and you see someone or something you
want to go deeper in and then just make
it very easy for you to continue that
conversation that's what I'm trying to
do because part of being in the
community is your ability to network and
access each other right collectively
you're
stronger um but we all come in in our
Silo in in terms of the world that we
operate and I'm I'm trying to break that
down a little bit that's the goal of
this yeah in that case I think it's
important to choose topics where people
can um show those little idiosyncrasies
in some ways right and that's why I
chose kind of off the wall little bit of
topics right so many of my groups even
though it was a financial topic they
loved the fact particularly my younger
ones to hear the the the the the ones
that are more matured have the same
concerns and is in the same place I
can't tell you the group that
conversation made the most value to that
I heard back were my younger ones
because the younger ones all came back
and they're like we didn't know that
older people also have these same
concerns and you know they have these
and I said yeah we're all in the same
book right um and that's why some of
those topics that I share to you are a
little bit controversial I mean I'll
have you guys crowdsource it but I was
looking at it going you know how do I
have how do we have conversations about
the things we don't talk about openly
and we allow each other a place to talk
about it right so even though it was
Financial it was a thing that most of us
don't talk about openly but yet we did
come out and all talk about it and
talked about it in a vulnerable way and
it was interesting because like there
were you know like me and Aisha for
example totally disagreed uh you know
like she's just like sorry Jillian
you're wrong and I'm like okay
cool all right
cool um so I I think um uh are we in
agreement that it's worth continuing
it's worth continuing pre quently so
that it becomes something in everyone's
patterns are we are we agreeing are we
saying that yes yeah I agree and I think
that there's got to be a way to find
that that there's a way to manage the
Quorum we have to have a quorum you
can't just have like three people in the
room having a chat on the thing right
don't you want to
Corum no we I mean people just kind of
turned up pretty easily like you know we
are people turn up they always turn up
it will be know that's a whole other
thing right like are we doing it on my
profile um um and I just allow you guys
access to it um or are we doing it on
one because some of us have more groups
and followers so you know uh what I
noticed was uh my profile is a safe
space for all of you U so you know
that's something we'll learn with time
do we do it on other people's profile do
we do I just allow everybody access and
you have access to my profile and you
know it's within that room and that
space all of those things I think we
will work work through um I think the
important thing I got out of this call
and correct me if I'm wrong is it's
worth having it and see if there's
something there for the community um
it's worth having it and trying out you
know having those that are you different
ones and Jillian you know very legit in
terms of the topics broad topics and
it's probably worth us testing out the
ability for you guys to just go book a
call right away with each other to see
if you guys actually do that we don't
know right that's it's experimenting
do that my my opinion selan is that U
everyone's like a noob here and we all
don't know what we should be doing after
that call I I give you an example let's
say um jillen had conversation with
Aisha in the in the chat right in the
town hall chat and and the concerns are
both recognized by both parties however
Aisha has more experience and and jillen
needs the experience to ask to seek
advice
now how how does jillen know she's need
she needs to contact Aisha and ask Aisha
whether she has any words of wisdom per
se related to financial Freedom so I
think this is where I will have to do a
little bit of training in the next
couple of sessions of when I see the
conversations happening I will probably
have to nudge you guys and train and go
listen Aisha would you like to have a
conversation with Jillian or Jillian
would you like to have a conversation
with Aisha and if you do there's a link
on there go ahead and book it you know
sometimes we just have to we just have
to uh uh have have the behavior happen
and we start mimicking right that
behavior and we'll create a tiny little
sop around it for you guys so when you
see interesting conflicts or
conversations happening with each other
to be able to be the one to moderate and
go listen I think you guys should have a
conversation on this after whoever is
the host that day
right yes I definitely think so I think
that it's worthwhile to yeah maybe run
it for a certain amount of sessions and
then have another autopsy and see like
now after having done it let's see um
and then yeah having some Sops for the
hosts to know like what to do how to do
it um you know maybe co-host with you
for a few times um to get that that more
training and then the the the after
posts with the sort of nuggets of wisdom
I think that's also could be really
interesting what yeah so I have to
figure out how to do that okay cool if
there's anything you think about I'll
this will get summarized if there's
anything else that you think about and
what we're thinking of is you are
correct running um like maybe six of
them in the month of August um um uh or
or I think a lot of people are on
vacation in August I see your head
shaking Jullian well I'm I'm in the US
in August but like I mean it depends on
the timing if I you know join or not it
it's normally evening 89 o'cl which is
which is morning yeah 10 11 o'clock in
in in terms of the us so I don't know if
we run it in August or we run it in
September right that's something we'll
decide also we'll do a little um and we
run a group of them and then um at that
point make a decision um uh of you know
what this is really working or not for
the network just this is under Network
vertical of how do we get the mentors to
better Network and and be mentor mentees
to each other yeah and um as as a as a
side note um I'd be interested in
facilitating awesome I have several of
you so awesome I love that thank you
Felix is there anything else uh yeah I
just wanted to check because I'm when
when we're in the WhatsApp group I I've
tried several times to to to put on my
hands and say Hey you know you guys
anybody interested in this or anybody
has any connections Etc nothing happens
yeah so it just depends on what group
you're in in uh Felix and what might be
um you know of interest to that group or
not would you like to try moving into
one of the other groups maybe group two
I'm wondering if if there was a place
like a bulletin board I could put this
up and and and the other groups could
actually see the bulleting board or
not so right now we're revamping the
mentor dashboard you know the dashboard
you guys log into your profile and maybe
there in everyone's Mentor dashboard we
allow you guys to have a bulletin board
where you can see everything each other
is happening so what we did Jillian for
you was we started now including mentors
having their events so we can start
showcasing their events so we're we're
we're maybe that might be something that
we can do um uh Felix on the mentor
dashboard is where you guys can post
notices that everybody can see right
then we will just op in and say receive
notifications so when someone Flags
something up uh pop on our screen and
then we can engage directly absolutely
absolutely thank you for that point Bab
I know you came in a little bit late is
there anything you want to tell us on
the LinkedIn audio before before we drop
off she's at the beach at the
moment bab no no no I'm yeah I'm just
listening so was there anything that you
would you enjoyed or you would have
preferred to be different in the audio
baba um no I think um only like I had I
had um like when you go like on the
stage um I think like like I wanted to
share something and you said like next
time like shout out to you so um I think
that that it sort of becomes kind of
passive when you on the stage and then
there a lot of people on there and okay
so management of the stage should be
better I keep maybe when someone speaks
on the stage I then take them
off um because that way what happens is
it gets I get lost with a whole bunch of
people on the stage so maybe that's a
very good point Baba thank you very very
much so that would be something in terms
of managing the stage and how many
people are up on stage at the same time
and maybe as soon as someone speaks I
remove them off so that those who have
not spoken I actually know who they
are anything
else no that that was the main point
okay cool all right so I will send a
summary to all of you on this thank you
guys so much take care Jillian get back
to your lunch thanks see you bye bye
