WHAT MAKES AN EXPERIENCE EXCEPTIONAL? 🫣 (Part II) Yesterday I posted about a few things that make for an exceptional experience - the glossy good stuff. All of it true. https://lnkd.in/gPruSGDp? But equally true (and unavoidable) is the messy tricky stuff. The stuff we don't usually post about; but when gently managed (with fundamentally good humans in the room) - can create a powerful shared experience. The messy tricky stuff like: New people. Jetlag. Uncertainty. Long lines. Time limits. Unintended consequences. Awkwardness. Room set-ups. Delayed flights. Push & Pull. Vulnerability. Exhaustion. New people. Strange rules. Can lead to: Kindness. Consideration. Let me get that. We'll work it out. I'll record it for you. Check out this AI tool! Can't wait for tomorrow. You're going to be great. Oh, that's interesting - I never thought of it like that! I want to take you home in my suitcase (in a completely non-creepy way). Imperfection creates bonds in ways perfection never could. Thoughts?
