How to Deal With Disruptive People

We're closing Season 2 in style. Or better said － in laughter. We had the awesome opportunity of talking to Tom Kozacinski, whose passion for comedy turned into an exciting career. But you might think, what the heck does stand-up have to do with Learning & Development? We thought the same at first, and then it all made sense. Tom explored with us:

• Behind the scenes of writing a comedy act, performing it, and iterating based on audience feedback;
• The importance of practice in polishing your craft;
• Managing audiences of all kinds with both kindness and assertiveness;
• Managing your own career development when you have multiple streams running at once.
