To share a clip of my Punchline Comedy Workshop graduation... 😂
With a few weeks under my belt to marinate and reflect on this experience, one lesson in particular stands out:
☀ This experience challenged me to investigate a new way of thinking.
With my legal background, I think like a lawyer -- as we are trained in law school to think. And, I wore it almost like a badge of honor of sorts...
Now, in my role Speechworks, Inc., I see some pros in my lawyer-like thought process for sure, BUT
....I also notice how that way of thinking can be limiting in business.
Thinking like a comedian is similarly a completely different thought process.
It was challenging for me to breakout of my lawyerly conditioning 😂 -- but it was a refreshing experience that expanded my access to creative thought 💡 .
And the lesson 🎓 : The reminder - and awareness - that there are many different thought processes will only help me be a better communicator and leader, but also better able to hear ideas from others who think differently than I do.
We can all become rigid in how we think, resistant to change or out-of-the-box ideas.... Being open to other approaches to thinking and problem-solving can be a game changer.... and often a guiding light when you're stagnant.
