Most of us don’t avoid humor because we don’t have it—we avoid it because we’re afraid of how we’ll come across. In this live conversation, Kim sits down with journalist, producer, and Gold Comedy founder Lynn Harris to talk about why comedy isn’t reserved for performers, and why “being funny” isn’t a personality trait—it’s a practice. Together they unpack humor as a tool for connection, trust, and saying the thing everyone’s thinking (without the scoldy energy). If you’ve ever worried you’re not witty enough, bold enough, or “interesting enough” to use your voice differently, Lynn’s message is the one you need: the stakes are low—and your life is already full of material.
HIGHLIGHTS
Why humor builds trust in business
The difference between humor and comedy (and why you don’t need to be a performer to benefit)
What “being funny at work” can look like without being loud, jokey, or self-deprecating
Lynn’s most universal creative advice
A reframe for perfectionists and shy creatives who might count themselves out because they don't live in the spotlight
How women’s lived experience becomes the most compelling “credential” in the room
