While working for a startup enrolled in a small accelerator programme I was involved in a business/pitch type workshop in which we were asked to carry out a little game along with some participants from other enrolled startups. Each individual had to write down what was most important to them in their life/career/role/business and then sell that concept/life-priority to one other person. At the end of each 2-way pitch, the pair agreed to choose one of the two priorities and were then tasked with pitching it to two others (who had selected theirs in the same way), and so on in tournament fashion. I immediately wrote down "autonomy"*. I learned nothing at all about pitching that day, as no-one I spoke to needed any convincing whatsoever: everyone had the same response: "Oh! I never thought of that. That's much more important to me than what I wrote down." * I know "autonomy" and "agency" are technically a bit different from a philosophical perspective but hey.
