Quick answer to Marc Orchant about the new seminar

[Marc Orchant caught me on Skype as I logged in, at O'Hare a few mintues ago. Thought our short dialog might answer some questions for the rest of you about the new public seminar... DA]

[3:56:07 PM] Marc Orchant says: Hi David. Got time for a quick question?
[3:56:48 PM] David Allen says: Sure... a moment. I'm in OHare
[3:57:25 PM] David Allen says: What's up?
[3:57:44 PM] Marc Orchant says: How would you characterize the content of the new one-day seminars compared to the classic two-day event?
[3:58:46 PM] David Allen says: More focus on the process of deciding where you are and what part of the models you should do what about, now... e.g. should you do 40k thinking with you spouse right now, or clean your garage --- get a planner or throw it away?
[3:59:52 PM] Marc Orchant says: Excellent. Jeff and I are trying to get some of our newer folks pointed toward attending one of the newly scheduled events. I might try to drop in on one of them myself.
[3:59:53 PM] David Allen says: Basically, what are your presenting issues in life and work right now? And how would you place those withing the GTD models, and therefore what's really strategic for you to do in what area?
[4:00:28 PM] Marc Orchant says: I like the focus. Sounds like an energizing day.
[4:00:49 PM] David Allen says: It'll have the nuts and bolts of workflow, plus more emphasis on the multiple horizons, and what to do about them.
[4:01:30 PM] Marc Orchant says: Thanks for the insights. I'll pass them along to Jeff. Oh, and congrats on the Levenger connection. I can't wait to see what you've cooked up with them!
[4:01:52 PM] David Allen says: Yeah, it'll be fun to be in that arena, too...
[4:02:04 PM] Marc Orchant says: K. Gotta run myself. Safe travels.
[4:02:17 PM] David Allen says: Me too. Ciao for now.
