Daring to be Dull: Embracing Imperfection
To improve communication, we should give ourselves permission to do what needs to be done without judging ourselves too much. By daring to be dull, we focus on relaying information rather than striving for perfection. This approach is a core tenet of improvisation, where the goal is to be obvious and genuine. We don't always have to come up with groundbreaking ideas; it is enough to help keep a conversation going and connect the pieces. Cultivating dullness may feel odd at first, but it allows us to be more present, engaged, and authentic in our communication.
