We discussed the problems inherent in traditional media and the fragmented market (i.e. you can’t just buy an advert on TV during prime time these days and know you will get to most of your target market). The surprising thing (for me) was that it seems it is the same in China and they were very interested in finding out how to overcome that issue.

This was the first time I have ever given a talk to a non English speaking audience that had to be translated as I spoke. I can tell you it is not as easy as it looks.
I did everything I could in advance to make the talk work. I had my PowerPoint presentation translated into Chinese and I sent the translator a copy of my talk in advance so she could read it and prepare.
So what could go wrong?

I’ve got some interesting speaking engagements coming up over the next few weeks. On the 18th January I am giving a talk to 24 Chinese school principals who are visiting Australia on a study tour. The topic is Confucius / Confucian Philosophy. I hope I pass.
On the 22nd January I am giving a talk to another group from China. These are Chinese CEO’s and I will be wearing my business hat and talking about Internet marketing, Social Media and eSTV.
Finally on Tuesday 2nd of February I’m debating Stephen from Ariel Bookshop at the Philosophy Corner meeting which is held at Ariel Bookshop, 42 Oxford St Paddington. This is our first meeting for 2010 and promises to be a real corker. The topic is “American Dominance of world affairs is over and it is a Spent Force” or something similar to that.
