In today's show, we dove into a range of fascinating themes:
-
The Intersection of Comedy and Professional Development: We explored how the skills and experiences from the world of stand-up comedy can enrich and inform practices in learning and development (L&D) and vice versa. This intersection offers unique insights into engaging audiences, crafting memorable content, and the importance of timing and delivery in both fields.
-
Personal Growth and Career Transitions: Our discussion highlighted the journey of transitioning from a traditional career path in L&D to embracing the unpredictable world of comedy. We delved into the challenges and rewards of pursuing a passion and how it can lead to personal growth and unexpected opportunities.
-
The Art of Storytelling: A key theme was the power of storytelling, both in comedy and L&D. We examined how effective storytelling can captivate audiences, make complex ideas accessible, and create lasting impressions, whether in a training session or a comedy set.
-
Navigating the Comedy Scene: We got an insider's view of the comedy scene, discussing the dynamics of performing, writing, and the importance of authenticity in comedy. This included insights into the process of developing a comedy routine, from ideation to performance.
-
Balancing Creativity and Professionalism: The conversation also touched on balancing the creative aspects of comedy with the professionalism required in L&D. We discussed how skills from each domain can complement and enhance the other.
-
Embracing Uncertainty and Risk: A significant part of our discussion revolved around embracing uncertainty and risk, both in comedy and in professional life. We talked about the importance of stepping out of comfort zones, trying new things, and learning from both successes and failures.
Plus much more!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
