Speaking | BRANDS & NARCISSISM, SXSW

I chuckle to myself at this title and the fact that I’m called upon to talk about the psychology of narcissism and how it affects brands. I know it has a lot to do with how technology and society have changed the way we communicate but it’s still kinda funny. I reckon Mum thinks it’s funny too. I’ve not changed much since I was a kid, seriously.

SXSW panel

Our SXSW panel was really awesome. The room was packed, we had great discussion and there were lots of questions following. I enjoyed meeting psychotherapist Dr. Jacob Small and discussing my own ‘personality disorder’ and how narcissism is extremely prevalent in todays society. During our panel I learned that Narcissism as a clinical disorder is being removed from ‘the book’ and added as merely a symptom of other personality disorders.

Good looking panel, eh? 🙂

It was ADVANCED Level. Oh yeah.

Look!

Interestingly enough, a couple days before this panel I was written about in local Toronto weekly, The Grid about being an introvert then the very next day an extrovert. I definitely have both sides to my personality but I’m clearly a highly functioning crazy person.

post panel

I’m speaking at NXNE in June about the same topic and hope you’ll be there to see it. I’m sure I’ll be able to hook up some tickets for our panel closer to the date. Yeeeeeeehaw! All photos by the lovely Kate Killet.

Now I am late for lunch w/ Telus. Byeee! Wear sunscreen!

    After I initially commented I appear to have clicked the -Notify me
    when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on whenever a comment
    is added I get 4 emails with the exact same comment. Is there a way
    you are able to remove me from that service? Thank you!

    seem like you know what you’re talking about! Thanks

    Unquestionably believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the net the easiest thing to be
    aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people
    think about worries that they just do not know about.

    You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole
    thing without having side effect , people can take a signal.
    Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

    Hi there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with
    hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of hard work due to no back up.

    Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?

    What’s up it’s me, I am also visiting this web page daily, this
    website is truly pleasant and the viewers are genuinely sharing pleasant thoughts.

    Hello! I understand this is somewhat off-topic but I had to ask.
    Does managing a well-established blog such as yours require
    a lot of work? I am completely new to writing a blog but I
    do write in my journal every day. I’d like to start a blog
    so I can easily share my own experience and feelings online.
    Please let me know if you have any recommendations
    or tips for new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!
