I have gotten more large corporate orders recently than I have got in the past. I have done three of them and I must say, it gives a different sense of relief, The corporate world is changing the way they gift their employees and I cannot express much about the effect it has had on efficiency, Isn’t it true? Imagine getting a personalized piece of art instead of a sweet box. It will definitely bring a wider smile to your face. If you are a company that is trying to build a strong foundation, try to change the way you perceive happy times. You will witness the change. P.S: Drop the ideas you think companies should adopt for this coming festival. #corporateorder #giftideas #festiveseason

Clear requests are tasty. But hold that thought will get back to it. Yesterday, I was invited to one of the best events I have gone to in Soho, NYC to celebrate 25 years of team coaching with Corentus, Inc. Shoutout to Janice Caillet and her team for putting this event together! The place they hosted it at was super unique - a beautiful artist's apartment that even had a scene from "The Devil Wears Prada" filmed there. Talk about a stylish venue! It had all the makings of an amazing evening: ✅ Awesome space with art everywhere ✅ Inspiring, like-minded people ✅ Delicious food I met two women there who had backgrounds kind of similar to mine. We had all transitioned from fashion to people leadership roles before ending up in tech. But the real highlight was learning about Corentus's model for making clear requests. They call it the "TASTY" method: Targeted - Requests should focus on specific goals Actionable - Requests must be practical to actually do Specific - Requests need to be clear and precise Time-bound - Give requests a deadline Yes/No Inquiry - Frame requests to get a clear yes or no answer. It's a simple but powerful way to communicate better and get stuff done efficiently. Clear requests really are tasty! The whole night was a blast. Great people, awesome venue, valuable insights - it had it all. Definitely one of the coolest events I've been to in a while.

What to do about audience churn and declining subscriptions? John Carnwath of WolfBrown has some thoughts: About 50% of all tickets to performing arts in North America are sold to new customers. Of those, 80% to 95% don’t return to that organization the following season. That’s up significantly compared to pre-pandemic levels (historically, annual ‘churn’ has been between 60% and 80%), adding to the challenge of declining subscriptions. For most Americans, going to an arts event is highly unusual. While it’s difficult to track what portion of an organization’s annual ‘churn’ may return years or decades later, it’s quite feasible that there’s a sizable portion of your audience for whom this will be the one and only time they see your work. In fact, it might be the only live orchestra, play, or dance they ever experience. What if we focused on making once-in-a-lifetime experiences truly memorable? What if we thought about the decision to step through our doors as more akin to the decision to go skydiving than deciding which channel to watch? How would our business models and communications change if we were in the business of making lifelong memories out of exceptional experiences rather than selling subscriptions?
