What to do?

Random Dialogues
3 min readMar 10, 2023

6 speakers, up to 6 minutes each wasn’t going to be the same with 5 of us!

Unfortunately, at the last minute, one of the speakers for “Random Dialogues 23” on March 9th 2023 was unwell and not able to attend. We were going live in just over an hour. What to do?

I leaned into the “Random Dialoguers speaking community and Julia Hayden was able to dial in from Germany, thank you!

She spoke about “Shape Shifting”. You can click on the Youtube video below at chapter 29:45 to hear her. Our friendship and story are documented here.

Niall Jones, another regular Random Dialoguer, set the scene at the start by speaking about “Peer Power” followed by Sally Sidani’s “Why Menopause Affects Everyone”

Meanwhile, behind the scenes, we continued to have a giggle and reasonable amount of stress about tech issues. Emma Saccomani’s “A Toolkit for Messy Reality” came in very handy for coping with the echoes and crackles!

Yvette Masure’s”Sound Frequency Healing Through Tuning Forks & Tibetan Singing Bowls” soothed us too. (and as requested by Phil during the livestream, here's the link to Yvette’s Youtube video: “Quality, Balance, Freedom)

I closed the show at 44:37 with “Seredipitree” and then forgot to click out of solo view so my big head stayed on the screen for too long, rather than returning to the 6-speaker view, oops.

Hosting, producing, and speaking at a Random Dialogue live event can be a bit of a challenge.

With extra special thanks to Dr. Nick Heap and Phil Shepherd, both readers, and contributors to Friday’s 6:08am (ish) newsletter for engaging with us. Really looking forward to hearing you speak again soon.
