Bill Gates said ‘I'm a great believer that any tool that enhances communication has profound
effects in terms of how people can learn from each other, and how they can
achieve the kind of freedoms that they're interested in.’
That’s what happened this week on Mallowstreet. It started with a post from John Reeve, bemoaning the latest negative pension headlines in the Daily Mail. The online discussion then began to involve others, including the person that had fed the headline to the Daily Mail, Ros Altmann.
And yesterday, the discussion went live. A live streamed debate, an additional tool ‘that enhances communication’, with John and Ros among the guests.
Some great comments too. Weaknesses in the pension system rightly identified. An acceptance by Ros (I think) that although she may be right with her comments, she may need to be more careful with what she feeds to the papers.
And a decision to take it further into some kind of live debate.
There is power in clear communication. When we communicate well, it brings understanding and takes the debate forward. And maybe, just maybe, it will lead to action and an achieving of ‘the kind of freedoms we are interested in’.
