Very interesting to see the progress you’ve made over time in terms of followers. It’s the perfect marketing material for your course.
I’ve been following your articles since Covid time and I’m happy that you are able to do this full time now. May your success continue and look forward to seeing where you end up.
As long as you keep writing articles with cool maps, I’ll keep reading ☺️
Thanks for expanding my horizons and keeping things interesting!
Anyone who is thinking of doing this course should do so. Commenting on Uncharted Territories articles has definitely shown me that writing improves thinking. Loved European Disunion btw.
Ha Ha 🤣! But of course you must acknowledge that Voldemort was taught at Hogwarts which merely helps its students discover tools of power and has no control over what their students decide to do with them...
True, but we aren't talking about butcher's apprentices and I think there is a really important point here. I agree that you can't do anything about the small percentage of humans who have psychopathic and antisocial personality tendencies. You teach them how to fly a plane and they choose to fly it into a building. As humans have realised throughout history, the only way to control these people and stop them from harming others is by some degree of force. That means putting some limits on their freedom and power.
These are not the people I'm referring to in the posts above. I am talking about intelligent, educated, reasonable people who are quite capable of thinking for themselves, but sometimes don't. It is often easier to accept what other people around you are saying or doing than to question it.
What I had in mind was just a simple question for your students: at the end of the course: how do they plan to use to use their newfound powers of persuasion? Even the act of asking such a question can prompt some useful self-reflection.
I see this as an excellent way to up my communication game across various mediums. When I join, it would be for a specific purpose of custom-building my "how to pitch & storytell" program for +ve impact oriented start ups. This edition of the course runs at 1 am my time (Bangkok). I look forward to version next at a friendlier hour. Am wary of paying 1K+ for recordings based courses. Been there, not done that ;)
Curious to hear from you Tomas if you think your success is mostly from knowing "the formula" vs putting in the work and effort. As an attendee of this course, will I magically be a communication wizard from knowing the formula, or will it also take me years of effort after taking your course?
I’ve seen it happen: turn people who were poor at communication into really good communicators. So u want to try with this course. I expect a better outcome since I’m putting in 10x the work. But of course, it might fail!
I think I’ll communicate the 80-20 of what needs to be known. The remaining 80% of knowledge are small things gathered through the years that are hard to even notice, but that accounts for 20% of the value., I reckon.
So yes, I do believe in it! I wouldn’t take the risk otherwise.
I personally review every enrollment and send an email myself. That’s why you didn’t receive an automated email: there isn’t! I will process later today or tomorrow.
This course would be 18h your time, so I don't think it would be problematic! If it is, the videos will be recorded.
The lectures will be 3h/week. I think that's the minimum you'd want to invest.
After that, I think the next most useful thing would be the Ask Me Anything sessions, which will be 2h or 3h/week.
The project will take as much as you want to invest. I assume 10m per lecture is a minimum, but people who might want to spend 1-2h on it after every session will be able to.
I'm very interested in your course Tomas, I believe being live in the room is the best learning method, I'm near Sydney Aust AEST, putting me at midnight my time. (I think?)
I'm really interested in story telling for culture change in the face of the poly crisis & my nature positive start up. We need multiple new positive narratives. Let me consider midnight learnings. Bests to you :)
Hey Tomas, as I just stumbled over the course now I cannot arrange my calendar due to some trips to make it possible to attend.
Is it possible to register already for the next cohort?
I have also some questions that I would like to adress in a more private way. Thinking of doing the course myself - and then run some teams through it.
Booking the 15 min video call seemed to be perfect. But no slots in the remainder of this year. Any idea how to connect?

Hahaha thanks Anna, I appreciate 🙏🙏

Thank you Mark, as always!!
That’s the part that’s hard to understand. It’s about thinking! Communication without thinking is empty! But proper communication helps think
I trust that those learning about communication skills and thinking from you will be reminded at some point to use their new found powers wisely.
No, I will try to make them into dark lords! My alt name for the course is Voldemort School
Ha Ha 🤣! But of course you must acknowledge that Voldemort was taught at Hogwarts which merely helps its students discover tools of power and has no control over what their students decide to do with them...
Yes. And butcher apprentices have to solemnly swear not to use their knives in humans.

I get it. You’re the 2nd one I hear about with this concern. If there are many more of you, I will make a course adapted to that timezone!

Hello Tomas
I registered a couple of hours ago but haven't received a confirmation yet.
Debra, I see you in the back office!
I personally review every enrollment and send an email myself. That’s why you didn’t receive an automated email: there isn’t! I will process later today or tomorrow.
Wonderful! I appreciate your personal engagement.
I want to join. I do full time work, copenhagen time 8-16. Is it possible to participate outside these hours? How many hours a day to you expect?

Thanks Sarah! Glad to hear!
I wish there was a way to light up the entire earth at once!
Gone to think of it maybe I just need space mirrors.
I hope you can make it
Similarly, I’m in Sydney. At that time of the year, it’s a 2am start… looking forward to other opportunities to join in the future.
I'm joining from Melbourne, so hoping to get some more ppl on this side of the world for study groups at times that work for us 🙂
You’re the 3rd so far!
Melbourne peoples are the early adaptors in Aust. Go Melbournites!!!
Lecture start at 9am PST -> PDT you mean, correct?
9am PDT
12pm EDT
6pm CEST
