As promised ka, I wish to share another message this week about my experience of going live for two reasons: first live on streamyard and I'm glad I know another good app, first time sharing quite a bit about my life ka.
Like other programs, Yong -- the host, who's really passionate about writing, has to prepare how it'd run with invited guests. She's amazing at handling it even after only several live programs. Thumbs up to her and her experience as a Nation journalist and a Fulbright alum, among a few others! I got a really fine draft with three sections of talk for my own prepared responses ka.
What I've learned from this activity are:
1. To go live, skills from zoom help. The host has to be multi-skilled and prompt (skills of the younger gens ka!) to manage the show with both content and entertainment while engaging the audience ka. We couldn't follow everything planned as questions and comments from the audience were to be raised for two-way participation. Both of us found it fine to be more flexible and go with the flow.
Streamyard is convenient and I like it especially as a guest, not a host yet! My hands were very cold that night as always ka!
2. The theme of the talk was, 'Life-long learner' and I give lots of credits to my 'T-Pop Plus' group (our girls' team who worked together for 3 years on GMS leadership development to subsequently add on one youngest guy for inter-generational/gender learning) who engages me in its numerous and diverse discussions, keeping me alert and aware of the current and future trends with increased learning ka.
3. Being a guest on such a program to talk more about me and my life made me reflect hard about all the questions. I learned more about myself and my life from the reflections......passionate in teaching and working on cross-cultural exchanges, influential people in my life, and what keeps me busy in my retirement ka. Some wanted to know how to live happily being single and during retirement. I thought of my friend's question who asked if my everyday activities could make me feel that time flew by. I then realized that there could be some who didn't have enough to do or didn't enjoy their activities too. Luckily, I have more than enough activities to do ka.
4. Signature reading works (effectively as always!?!). I shared with them how I used the skill as a tool to get to know our Fulbright circle. Did give them some tips on how to read a signature ka. We asked the audience to share their thoughts on 'One key learning from the talk' and quite a few sent in their responses. The host and I selected 4 for me to read their signatures! They said self-awareness was important and that parents should guide kids to have reflections after some activities to learn more about themselves. One thought of himself to say he was frustrated with Thai culture but learned that in fact, we all should learn to appreciate our own culture (which has its many precious dimensions and less beautiful ones) before being able to do it with other cultures. Several enjoyed listening to how Fulbright selected its grantees and how applicants should get started earlier on in their university life.
Cheers to this learning opportunity ka.
