[David Horning @THEdavidhorning]

Turn on your cameras, show us your mess, your pets, your kids, or your bad hair day and be a human being on these Zoom calls or stop complaining about not feeling connected to your team.

Humor is more than just “being funny,” it’s one of the best reframing tools out there and anyone can use it.

[You Can't Laugh At That @YouCantLaughPod]

Extremely good times and extremely bad times are the most fertile grounds to make changes. Reframe them as opportunities for new material, and you'll find you CAN laugh, learn, and grow.

The science behind why we laugh is so interesting to me.
The science behind why people don't learn how their brains work is even more interesting.
The science behind why people don't laugh when I joke about their refusal to learn how their brains work is the most interesting.

[WaterCoolerComedy @ComedyCooler]

We need to learn to laugh, now more than ever because we need to connect with others, now more than ever. Give this a listen and enjoy!

Welcome incongruity and uncertainty. Urge the handling of cognitive dissonance and inspire young people to engage collaboratively with this who think unlike them. There’s no one more intelligent than the person who considers new information, even if it makes them wrong.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Colleges don't need "safe spaces" to shield students from ideas that make them uncomfortable.

They need psychological safety: the freedom for students to take intellectual risks.

Higher education should prepare students to reason with challenging ideas, not rush to censor them.

[HR Indiana SHRM @hrindianashrm]

It's disappointing that so few interviewers give feedback to job applicants after rejecting them.

When turning candidates away, the least we can do is make it a learning experience.

Ghosting is selfish. People are hurting. A bit of guidance might help them get hired elsewhere.

@foodiejess I don’t blame you

Surround yourself with people who make you laugh

BE VULNERABLE
The ability to admit you have weaknesses and that you need help allows the people around you the opportunity to do the same. Leaning into your imperfections by laughing at yourself brings people together for a more authentic collaborative experience.

Nothing brings the family together like a little humor.
Hope your Christmas is full of laughs and love.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Parents focus too much on grades and goals, and too little on generosity.

Kids raised to be kind are more successful in school and work—and happier too.

At family dinner, don't just ask kids what they achieved. Ask who they helped and who helped them.

A little bit of humor can unlock the potential of your team. Here are 3 reasons why: https://t.co/sn05IYcNmV

If you're looking for a laugh, try turning your fears into jokes. Whether we're laughing about the fear itself or the absurd things we do to avoid our fears, this gives us a sense of power, making us feel a little larger, and our fears feel a little smaller.
