Humour, Hilary!

Charm and diplomacy are not things that come naturally to Hilary Clinton. Her first instinct is to confront and attack, rather than befriend and compromise. This may be an effective way of presenting yourself when you are a political candidate, but it can be a problem when you are the Secretary of State.
In the Congo yesterday, a rather silly student asked her what Bill thought of a particular issue. Not unreasonably, she replied, “I am the Secretary of State, not my husband.”
If she had said it with a smile, this one-liner would have got a big laugh from the audience, made her point superbly and won her alot of friends. Instead, she delivered it with all the grace of a nuclear assault, dramatically shrugging her shoulders and twisting her face like a bulldog chewing a wasp. The people listening were clearly shocked by her negative intensity.
Someone needs to tell her what all high-pressure presenters need to know: sometimes a smile is a more potent weapon than a growl.

We start out in life knowing no-one. Shortly most of us get to know members of our family, then we go to primary and high school then for some it’s off to college and university. Along the way we join clubs, teams and associations. We may attend our chosen place of worship which for some could be the pub or the gym! Then we go to work, sometimes in parallel with our education until we end up in our chosen careers.
When I started work all those decades ago the career you chose was meant to be for life, but this doesn’t seem to be the norm nowadays. In a recent keynote speech Reid Hoffman co-founder of Linkedin said,
“Part of the thesis that LinkedIn was founded on is that every individual is now becoming
a small business. What do I mean by that? A typical job lasts two to four years,
so that there is a sequence of jobs.”
So you move from your first job to the next and so on until we finally retire.
