beyond tellerrand

Welcome to another episode of my little “Behind the Scenes” (video-)podcast. The idea of this irregular series is to introduce you to a few people that are part of the beyond tellerrand journey. Sometimes that is a speaker, sometimes someone who helps me in a different way and usually goes unnoticed or without much of a spotlight on them. Next to the fact that these people help me, I want to furthermore introduce you to them since they mean something to me.Yes, I run beyond tellerrand for nearly 15 years as a single person, a one-person band or, like some would say, a solopreneur. But surely there are a lot of people who helped me along the way – next to my wonderful family of course. Some more often, some from time to time, but I am absolutely thankful for their input, their help, their opinion, feedback or however they support me.One of these people is today’s guest: Keir Whitaker. We know each other for more than a decade already. Once a week Keir is there for me to listen to my rants, complaints, ideas and I can pick his brain for an opinion or feedback. He is the reason why I put much more effort into my newsletter these days and continue to work on it regularly, for example.In this unscripted episode we were talking about feedback – giving feedback, listening to feedback and using feedback. Furthermore I asked Keir how important it is these days to have a website, especially if you run an event.Surely we also had a conversation about social media and how it changed over the last 10 years and the role it plays for an event organiser today.And last but not least, I asked him about his own event series, he started 2023, called Craft and Work. What it is about, when and where it does it take place and who should come.Enjoy!
