I attended a play called over the weekend starring one of Jamaica’s most well-loved and well-known comedians. What happened in the hours before the play started is nothing short of comedy. I share the experience in this video. There are TONS of lessons on what NOT to do with your next virtual event.
After you view the video, please share what the event host could’ve done differently and how we can avoid these mistakes when hosting a virtual event.

I hosted and produced my very first telesummit in 2008. Thirty-six speakers over eight days. It was massive. I also earned just below $20,000 in registration fees and added 5,000 emails to my list. I hosted the event again in 2009 and 2010. Then, in 2010, I helped my...
So many gurus say you can fill coaching programs, attract media attention and book speaking gigs without a list or without being well-known. The truth is you need to establish some visibility on your own before others will pay attention. I've operated a business...
When I hosted my very first telesummit in 2008, I had no idea what to expect. After the results I got, I became a fan of this business building model. Curious to know the results? Watch the video below to find out how a telesummit can help you build your platform...
WOW! I am not sure is that was being authentic or what I call just plain ghetto fabulous! That was more like folks with no care about others. Well then maybe that is being their authentic selves.
Thanks for sharing!
Oh so true… glad they only told you about chewing and nothing more detailed. We don't need to know what's happening behind the scenes, especially if it doesn't make our experience any better.
Agreed and that's a great rule of thumb – if the information doesn't make the experience any better, don't reveal it.
[Fainting…] Jamaican Patois with Canadian-English translation! Good story and in terms of what they could have done differently was, after 45 minutes, comp folks for a later show hosted by the troupe or a refund. But then again, they should have done the event a better service by getting the time right from the get go 😆
I didn't even think of that as an option. A refund or partial refund would've been nice. Or, they could've offered a free oxtail dinner or mannish water as they were serving those in the lobby along with Champagne Kola and beef patties. Of course, I couldn't eat any of it, but I would've settled for the Champagne Kola.
OMG, that was amazingly brutal and funny at the same time. So many mistakes–and will they learn from them? Good example of showing us what NOT to do at events.
I doubt they'll learn anything from it. The whole fiasco was just so brutally funny. So sad.
