Summary<\/h3>\n

Humor and Tough Topics<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you bring humor to a tough topic, I think that helps everybody involved, and sets them at ease. Some of the comedians who are venturing into that space today, that can be helpful if, for no other reason, for comic relief. At other times, they’re bringing up some very important points as they’re bringing humor into their discussions.<\/p>\n

Filling a Role or Having the Title Isn\u2019t Enough Anymore<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just the fact that you are in a role \u2011\u2011 you are a congressman, you are a university professor, you are a pastor \u2011\u2011 that does not automatically make you a thought leader. You have to earn that role. I think that’s different than previous generations, where sometimes, being in a role meant people listened to you.<\/p>\n

Earning the Right to Speak Up<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

We have to be participating, stepping into those conversations. We have to earn our place at the table and make sure we’re bringing value every day. We have to have processes in place. We have to be investing in those conversations.<\/p>\n
