I have been writing and speaking about the power of human engagement for 15 years - now is the most important time for “Community, Collaboration, and Conversations”. Industry associations have a key role in figuring an antidote to loneliness.

The amount of racism and anti-immigrant things being said in “polite company” is crazy in a country where most of us come from immigrants. I am the grandson of immigrants and they faced discrimination. But I am proud of the lives they built.

Across the USA, campaigners that focused on love and the people of the state beat division and national party issue candidates. No matter where you are politically can we agree that hate, fear, and division should stop in our politics?

[Thom Singer, CSP 🌟 @thomsinger]

From a friend - “I voted blue for the first time because too many republican candidates were okay with racist and other inappropriate comments against democratic candidates across the country”.

[Thom Singer, CSP 🌟 @thomsinger]

It’s so weird to turn on the TV and not see nasty political ads

[Thom Singer, CSP 🌟 @thomsinger]

America has shown it will not put up with nasty and dirty politics. A return to civil discourse and normalcy is what people want.

[Thom Singer, CSP 🌟 @thomsinger]

Wow. Democrats with Governor and Senate Seat.

Times are changing.

[Thom Singer, CSP 🌟 @thomsinger]

“Civility and a return to normalcy”.

AI scales capability.
Human Interaction (H.I.) creates opportunity.

[Kurt Wilkin @KurtWilkin]

This is so true from my friend Thom. @thomsinger this is a consistent story from most of my #UnlockingMoves podcasts. We need to have you in to share your story and your Unlocking Moves!

Almost every successful person can point to someone who believed in them, made an introduction, opened a door, or took a chance. At some point, we have to stop just thanking those people and become one for someone else.

[Thom Singer, CSP 🌟 @thomsinger]

Technology may remove some of the reasons we used to call each other. That does not mean people matter less. I think the future belongs to those who value human interaction more. Community. Collaboration. Conversations

[Thom Singer, CSP 🌟 @thomsinger]

Do not run long when speaking or leading a panel at a conference. It makes the organizer and audience nervous and worried.

[Thom Singer, CSP 🌟 @thomsinger]

Hate isn’t okay

[Thom Singer, CSP 🌟 @thomsinger]

Community, collaboration, and conversations can solve all problems. But division, hate, and only believing what you want will make the world worse.

[Thom Singer, CSP 🌟 @thomsinger]

Why are people so divided and terrified with fear?

[Thom Singer, CSP 🌟 @thomsinger]

Wow - I got attacked on FB with hateful statements from somebody I don’t know - because I voted for a different candidate than be supported. If we cannot have respect and think nasty comments are what our country is about- I worry.

[Thom Singer, CSP 🌟 @thomsinger]

I am confused by people who vote a straight party ticket… and then say horrible things of people who are voting the other party straight ticket.

[Thom Singer, CSP 🌟 @thomsinger]

I think basic respect is the glue that holds society together.

[Thom Singer, CSP 🌟 @thomsinger]

I think I’ve learned that in big population states… Having one party being in charge causes problems… As my Republican friends in California talk about corruption of the Democrats… And my Democrat friends in Texas talk about the corruption amongst the Republicans. Hmmmmm

Do best you can. If you drop the ball, own it (do not lie or hide it). Do not rewrite history to cover up your failures. Try hard to help the greater good. Enjoy the people around you.
