About a month ago, I decided to record one of my live workshops to use as a recorded product that could be offered to folks all over the world. This was to help those who learn best from listening rather than reading, or needed a more focused approach to the material.
While we got a technically good recording, I quickly realized that it would not make a good audio product. Partly because the group I had at that workshop didn't need certain elements explained in depth, and we skipped over those parts to make the experience more powerful for them. Another reason was that once I edited out their questions and comments (to preserve their privacy), what was left didn't make as much sense.
So I decided to do a presentation specifically for the recording. Initially, I expected to just go over the material again and the whole project would be done in 2 days or so.
Although this may work for some folks, I wasn't happy with my presentation. Maybe it was because I didn't have an audience to work with. Maybe it was because I was more concerned with how much time each session took. Whatever it was, I knew it needed more work.
