Ep 5: We're all a Bit Bat Shit, Women Still Get Mixed Messages About How they Show up, and Why Women Leaders Can Use More Comedy
Description
This was pure joy. Lalita Dee is a friend and fellow comedian. A leader at Stanford, she also hosts a podcast with fellow friend and comedian, Smita Venkat, called "We 💖 Mom Jokes!" Want unfiltered truth? Talk to a comedian. At least one who's Dutch. She's not rude...she's from Amsterdam! (A call back will make sense as you listen).
In this episode, we chat about:
-The definition of mom jokes: Funny dad jokes!
-How women still get mixed messages about being themselves at work despite awareness of gender issues, and why we hate the word "authenticity" and laugh about our "full selves"
-Why comedy makes us happier and braver (and what it can do for you, too) and yes comedians second-guess themselves
-Our big lessons from doing comedy (hello innovation and why jokes that don't work gotta go)
-Why women leaders need to stretch themselves, take bigger risks and use more humor
-Comedy v Ted Talk: why you can do both with jokes AND it means knowing your audience
