Things I wish I could do next time in general

• Make presentations informal because they can be stressful
  • Small cohorts of people who know each other well already
  • explicitly frame the presentations as informal and low key

Exploring Cause areas

Things I wish I could do next time

• put more emphasis on you're meant to impartially argue for cause areas rather than on basing it on personal fit
  • get people to explicitly compare their cause area with 1 other cause area and make arguments for why it is more impactful than the other cause area
• make sure everyone produces slides for their presentations, because much easier to follow with slides

Session by session guidance

• walk through the ‘how this track works’
  • Why I ask people to do workbooks in session → commitment mechanism to do the workbook properly
  • What i mean about arguing for cause areas
    • people rule out causes because they don't think they can contribute → want you to hold off judgment on that right now
    • take on the framing of 'what are the world's most pressing problems'
• tell people to book in a 1-1 now and make a copy of the workbook
• then start the coworking
  • people can ask questions in the chat
• remind people to ‘click the read more’ in the blue box of the workbook for more info

Session 2-5

• Each person presents their slides for 10 minutes
• Then they have 10 minutes to ask questions from the audience.
  • When they run out of questions, the audience can ask them questions about the cause area
