Optimism, Hopelessness, Helplessness with Denise Hamilton
Share the goodness!
I’ve been waiting to invite Denise on my show since I first heard her on Clubhouse and this appearance did not disappoint.
We discussed confidence, personal brands and branding, speaking, toxic positivity and Harriet Tubman
Here are my shownotes:
15m – Don’t count them out; It costs you
17m – There’s no resource for humans
17m – “open for business”
20m – If you can’t articulate it simply, you probably aren’t as smart as you think
21m – Experts fold; experts fail because they’re experts in a world that no longer exists
27m – Recommit to optimism – inappropriate level of optimism; there’s a pessimism pandemic; the “lens of lack”
31m – Toxic positivity = FAILURE TO ACT
33m – Shrine: 1. AirBnb, 2. Vicks Vaporub, 3. Obama Bobblehead – common theme: anything is possible
33m – The disappointment of yesterday is not a proxy of the hope of tomorrow
39m – You can’t fix something if you don’t believe you can fix it (in the first place)
41m – Baby bird syndrome
45m – White Men
46m – The power of history
Quote 1: A man devoid of hope and conscious of being so has ceased to belong to the future.” – Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays
Quote 2: “[If my services] do not place woman as man’s equal, what do?” – Harriet Tubman
