Experiences and gains from the first offline sharing organized by the Activity Insights Organization

On the afternoon of August 17, Shantou Happy Growth Salon held its first offline event. As an organizer, I have experienced a lot of gains and growth during the activities.

This activity is something I have not tried before. Without any guidance from experience, I can only prepare with imagination.

The ideation activity was carried out around July 20, which is about a month before the event. At that time, I thought about and decomposed the preparations for the sharing event through mind mapping, and then assigned various actions to the schedule, implemented them day by day, and basically completed them the day before the event.

As for the theme, we chose "Me and Reading" which everyone has a lot of feelings about. More considerations are: in the personal management system, "reading" is actually a link under the knowledge management system; and a person's mental growth usually requires a lot of reading to start and realize. Therefore, starting from this topic can be regarded as the first link for everyone to discuss and exchange the steps for personal mental growth.

In terms of number of people, there is no need to ask for more. Because I always hope that the quality of the sharing session can be of a certain level, rather than a chatting activity. Therefore, the theme of "small but beautiful, beautiful but refined" was determined from the beginning, and the number of people was controlled within 10 people. The purpose was to create an atmosphere of active discussion and exchange while sharing. After the MaiKe registration form was launched, the quota was full within 5 days (this was my first attempt to use an online statistics form to collect registration information). In order to make it easier for everyone to get to know each other during the on-site event, I simply handmade name tags.

On the site, I chose to live in Zhiyue mainly because the location is easy to find and the transportation is convenient. Of course, there are also shortcomings, that is, it does not have a larger box or projector at first.

On the day of the event, what moved me and what was unexpected was that all the sharers were very time conscious and arrived at the event before 3 o'clock (likes for everyone); sharers @murongbi, the organizer, arrived at the scene in advance to make preparations; the sharer @清兰 specially took a 2-hour drive from Chaonan to Shantou City. After the event, she, a girl, took the car back alone (on the way There was a traffic jam), and the spirit was commendable; the sharer @文子 proactively took on the photography task, adding a lot of color to the event!

I have always been worried that since this is the first time for everyone to meet, there will be a negative atmosphere of being cold, timid, and reserved. It wasn’t until the event started that I laughed at my unfounded worries. Everyone communicated very freely and seemed to have become old friends at first sight. When it was time to communicate, everyone spoke freely. When it came time to share, everyone took the initiative to keep the scene quiet and listened carefully and took notes, which fully demonstrated a high degree of self-discipline.

During the sharing process, every speaker brought me endless positive energy——

@Xubin believes that reading should not be to achieve quantitative goals, but to achieve quantitative goals. It should meet personal needs, and he shared the "non-linear reading" method, and he proactively asked questions in every communication session, making people feel the spirit of seeking knowledge.

Based on personal feelings, @清伦 recommended software or audio such as "Super Five-Star Novel" and "Luo Ji's Thinking" and "Dongwu Theory of Relativity". Although the ppt he carefully prepared cannot be imported into the computer for sharing, But there is no complaint, which makes people feel the broadness of his heart.

@小鱼, as the youngest sharer, showed great interest in thinking books, which surprised me deeply, and what she said about search-based reading from clicks to the Internet is also a An extremely effective way to build a knowledge system.

Every time @文子 shares is like a bombardment of knowledge, full of information, endless aftertaste, and sharing the special way of finding information through network disk search, which makes me realize that search merchants are in importance in the information age.

@murong’s idea of ??“reading a wordless book” and his ability to quote from other sources and talk eloquently are impressive, and the content shared this time was completed in half an hour before the event started. , showing the richness of his knowledge reserve.

@Wukong not only expressed the concept of "reading is reading" closely following the theme, but also set off a climax in the audience with self-ridicule and humorous expression, showing extraordinary speech skills (first blending the scene, phrasing , colloquial, many examples).

@小Caiyang shared the important theory of "natural education" in "Emile" from a professional perspective, which has inspired me, an expectant mother, in her future parenting journey. .

During the sharing of this activity, based on everyone’s discussions and exchanges, I mainly gained the following profound insights:

1. Because I need to participate in the sharing activity, I will Prompt or force yourself to do review and summary work that is not easy to do on your own initiative. This way of summarizing with words is to organize your own thinking. Only by having the courage to step into the panic zone can we achieve the purpose of growth.

2. Regarding the question of what reading is for, many sharers expressed their personal thoughts. Among them, whether it is to cultivate independent thinking ability, to meet needs, or to discover oneself, it all reflects the practical role of reading.

3. Because reading has a practical role, when personal awareness rises to a certain level, people will read selectively. The selection process involves cost issues, including economic costs, sunk costs and opportunity costs. The selected object does not only refer to a certain book, but also can only be certain contents in a certain book. As long as it can be implemented into action and serve life and work, this "non-linear reading" method is still meaningful.

4. History develops rapidly, but the development of human nature is slow. Therefore, ancient classics are not outdated and can still provide guidance for today's people. Some of the truths that you have stumbled upon by yourself may only be discovered when you open the ancient books of your ancestors and find that their predecessors have already explained them clearly.

5. I had installed the "Duokan" reader before, but found it very inconvenient to read PDF format, so I uninstalled it. At this sharing meeting, I discovered that it can read txt format quite well. If you don’t know enough about a tool, you shouldn’t make a hasty decision.

When the sharing session ended, it was already 6 pm, which was 1 hour longer than the expected 2 hours.

Although a little tired, my heart is sweeter than honey because the whole process is full of joyful blending and collision of ideas. And when I got home, some friends had already sent the review of this sharing meeting to WeChat or QQ group. The action was so fast that it was beyond imagination.
