Shownotes

This in-between-seasons, longer episode is an account of an experiment I did inspired by Oliver Burkeman’s TEDx talk, “Why patience is a superpower”.

The experiment involved a beautiful painting of sunset by Turner, a hushed ambience in an art museum… and plenty of patience.

I hope it will spark insights you can apply to your communications - and perhaps inspire you to carry out a similar experiment. I really recommend it!

Here are links to Oliver Burkeman’s TEDx talk:

And his book, "4,000 Weeks: Time And How To Use It", which I also mention:

Check out the Turner painting in an article I posted on the subject on LinkedIn – and do connect with me while you’re there!

I’ll be sending more Postcards with Presence your way very soon.
