I love that idea. That’s a really smart idea. Are you finding that your time is becoming just increasingly valuable, and everybody’s trying to ask you everything, because all of a sudden, the world has gone online?
That’s a whole another thing I hadn’t thought about. You can manage for people speaking different languages and use the transcription service for that.
That’s so interesting. We should, Vicki, think about the right way to do that. One of our challenges with recording our sessions is that, because people are so anxious, and we’re trying to get people to change their minds and to explore ideas they’re uncomfortable with, they really don’t like the idea of being…
It makes them extra anxious to be recorded saying things that they might be trying out.
Figuring out whether there’s a way to get them comfortable with trying things out and really understanding that the recording is for their benefit as opposed to for any other kind of use, I think is a worthwhile thing for us to see if we can get done.
I’d love to figure out, Vicki, the right way to experiment with that. Right now, it’s a little anathema to us.
OK, no hindsight kicking. It’s all forward-looking. It’ll help us a lot.
Minister, do you have a favorite…When things get overheated, we have people that really disagree with each other. Are there options that you’ve explored other than just taking a break, “Let’s take a 10-minute break”? Are there places to go or things to do online that offer a cool-down period or session?
That makes a lot of sense. You know, Vicki, the rules that we were looking at? Something like 20 minutes on looking at a screen, 20 seconds looking at something 20 feet away.
The idea of, if things get hot, asking somebody to go take…We lost Vicki.
Asking somebody to go taste something or to go smell something new, that’s a really interesting thing to ask people to do during a break.
I’m admitting her back in.
Sometimes, going away is always the best thing, right?
I love that idea, though, of instructing people, when we have to take a 5, 10-minute break, “Go taste something new. Go smell something new.”
That’s really interesting. I like that a lot. I know we’ve taken nearly an hour of your time. It’s been exceptionally valuable. We’re going to be on this journey.
If, once in a while, in a couple of months, three months, we have a couple more questions, or especially if we do the virtual reality experiments and experiences that we were talking about, is it OK if we reach back out?
That’s terrific. That also will particularly useful to us when we find a member that has a noisy environment.
I want to make sure before we sign off, since I’m hosting and I’m recording, I want to make sure that I actually capture the transcript. Does that happen automatically or do I need to do something?
I just want to make sure. With Zoom a couple of times, I was recording…
…I closed it and I didn’t capture it. How do I make sure I capture it?
I’m thinking I’m just going to send it to you. I’m worried about losing…How do I actually find it on my…either in Teams…
Yeah…
That’s what I needed. Thank you very much. Minister, I’m so delighted to meet you. I’m thrilled. I’ve never met someone with your kind of expertise, and I love the suggestions that you gave us. Thank you very, very much.
[laughs] You, too. Thanks.
Be well. Bye.
