Business Problems SolvedThis week, Lee discusses the ways in which we can use the art of comedy to overcome resistance to change, and how by thinking differently, we can make sure that we act differently, finding new solutions to problems that we may not have considered before.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- If you want to achieve different results, then you must think differently. Those thoughts will create and drive new ways of implementing action.
- Refusal to comply with change is always a personal choice. Each person chooses whether or not support an initiative. Change, therefore, is a personal choice.
- When delivering information or data or any kind of address, we always communicate in the ways in which we like to receive. In comedy, we have two ways of delivering - the set up and punchline. We should vary the ways in which we deliver both so as to signal the points at which engagement must follow.
- Timing is everything. We must plan out what we are to deliver, but we must also execute it using perceptual timing - adapting to the moment itself.
BEST MOMENTS
'You have to think and do different, in order to be different'
'Resistance is the refusal to accept or comply with something'
