“多花时间和创业者朋友们在一起”,这是Winson, 在第一届马来西亚大笑瑜伽大会上认识的新加坡朋友,给我的职业生涯发展建议。事实证明,言之有理。
"Spend more time with your entrepreneur friends", Winson from Singapore told me this in the First Malaysia Laughter Yoga Conference. And time proved it make sense.
从泰国曼谷、吉隆坡到巴厘岛,一路上我都会骑着小竹去拜访当地的联合办公中心(co-working space)。在facebook上报名参加他们举办的分享会,接触各行各业的创业者朋友。对,除了瑜伽馆,旅行时,我最喜欢的“景点”是联合办公中心。
From Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur to Bali, I will cycle to local co-working spaces and pay a visit. Sign up their workshops, events online, it's a great opportunity to meet entrepreneurs from many different industries. Yes, when I am travelling, besides yoga studios, another one of my favorite sightseeing point is co-working spaces.
早在今年三月,我参加过Sebastian Schlenker在Outpost关于Mastermind Group的分享会,很受启发。
This March, I went to Sebastian Schlenker's workshop about Mastermind Group in Outpost. It was very inspiring.
上周在Outspot参加了Lauren Hendry Parsons女士关于如何接受媒体采访的工作坊,受益匪浅。在新闻发言人的角色扮演练习中,我以自己ShootCycleHahaha的项目为例子,回答不同类别媒体的提问。
Last week, I went to Lauren Hendry Parsons's workshop on Getting to Know the Media in Outpost, again, very inspiring. When we do the spokesperson role play game, I use my project #ShootCycleHahaha as an example, practising answering questions from different types of media.
工作坊之后,Outpost的工作人员Inez问我是否感兴趣在下周的头脑风暴午餐上,花7分钟时间介绍我的项目,然后Outpost的会员们会一边吃午餐,一边给我反馈和建议。我当即说感兴趣!这些天正好在梳理我的项目的发展方向,我很想听听他人的想法。
After the workshop, Inez, staff of Outpost ask me if I interested to present my project in next Power Ideas Lunch, I'll have 7 minutes introduce my project, and members of Outpost will give me feedbacks and ideas while having lunch. I said yes immediately. I am happen to spend a lot of time thinking about my project development strategy these days, and I want to hear more ideas.
我分享的主题定为如何通过玩转创意完成环球骑行之旅。接着几个晚上,我都在冥思苦想ppt的具体内容。 今天骑车出发去Outpost之前,自己试讲一次,7分钟完全不够。哈哈哈。
My topic is how to play with the creativity in the round world biking trip. Followed many days thinking what exactly I am going to share, and finally created a ppt. However, before I cycled to Outpost today, I tried, and 7 min is way too short for the content I want to share. Haha...
到了现场,Inez告诉我线上报名的人不多,只有3个人。我说没关系,最惨的情况就是只有你一个人当我的听众,给我出谋划策啦。调试好幻灯机后,还剩时间,我再对我的ppt做最后的修改润色。
Arrived, Inez told me there are only 3 people signed up. I told her, it's OK, the worst situation is that I have only you, and I'll be very appreciate your ideas. After we set up the projector, I still have some time, I work on my ppt to make it looks even better.
11点半,食物都摆上。陆陆续续越来越多人进来会议室。刚开始担心没有人参加,十多个人头出现后,我担心的内容逐渐变成怎么办,这么多人,我好紧张。哈哈哈。
Half past 11, foods are on. More and more people entered the meeting room. I was worrying about no people will join, when there are more than 10 heads, I start to worrying about that how can I looks confident in front of so many people. Hahaha.
然后想起前天刚在TED talk学习的应急办法,将手脚尽量伸展开来,而非蜷缩身体,假装很镇定,慢慢地就真的觉得镇定了。
Then I remembered the TED talk I watched about the power pose, I tried to open my arms and legs, pretending calm, soon, I felt calm.
12点准时开讲,语速飞快。几次逗笑大家。7分钟结束时,我还剩最后一张没有讲。然后大家开始踊跃提问,一边吃饭,一边讨论我的项目,为我出谋划策。
Start from 12, I was speaking so fast. And people burst into laughter few times. When times up, I still have one last page not covered. People start to ask me questions, give me ideas while having their lunch.
令我吃惊的是,在场的大部分人都不知道什么是大笑瑜伽,于是我现场教了这些在科技前沿的人们几个帮助缓解压力的笑瑜伽练习。
Surprisingly, most people never heard about laughter yoga. So I taught them a few laughter yoga exercises for stress releasing.
我收到的最多的点子是如何在线上创造经济收入,我将迫不及待地逐一测试,之后和大家分享哪些办法是行得通的。
I received many ideas, most of them is about how to increase income on line. I can't wait to test them all, and share those ones worked for me.
其中一位企业创始人邀请我明天去一个活动上,教授笑瑜伽作为惊喜环节。另一位法国创业者则感兴趣请我帮他翻译一些资料成中文。其实,我在出发之前如果能猜到会是这样的结局,我就不必那么紧张和担心了。
A founder invited me to a charity event tomorrow, that I'll teach 15min laughter yoga as a surprise ice breaking activity. Another French entrepreneur is interested in ask me to help translate some documents into Chinese for him. So, if I know this, I shouldn't waste my time worrying so much. Hahaha.
1个小时后,大家都吃饱了,我因为太兴奋,一直在做笔记,什么都没吃,肚子饿得咕咕叫了。不过好处是,这时的我比较轻,于是有了这张“飞翔的竹子自行车”。
One hour later, people are full, too excited to take notes, no time to eat anything, I was so hungry. However, I must be much lighter at this moment, so we took this #AcroBambooBike photo.
