Davos day 2

Today is preparation day. Dress rehearsals for cast. PR. Getting people to take part. And much more.

This is now my third year here and it certainly brought back heaps of emotion walking through the tent to the afghan room. The camp itself looked incredible. Every year more trinkets and authentic props emerge detailing the room with precision.

My job for the day was that of getting people to cordon off an hour from their busy schedules to come. The average meeting at Davos I think is less than an hour. CEOs like to line their meetings back to back. My task to ask for one hour of their time to transpose them to another world. To invite them to step into the shoes of someone else. To entice people away to a different world.

My phonecalls stretched from the royals to senior partners to prime ministers. With interlude visits from the Wall Street Journal, the international justice movement and more. And this isn't even an action day.

It's hard to grasp what we are just about to embark upon and with who. Very grateful to be here but feeling like it's all a little unreal.
