Oddly enough, many traits we identified are also traits of great comedians.\r\nCandidates are definitely characters. Comedians are as well. But what are the common links that cross over from one pursuit to the other?\r\nIn this episode, we discuss 9 traits that comedians and presidents share. Specifically, we talk about:\r\n\r\nBeing able to differentiate yourself from the others\r\nBecoming “known” for what you believe in\r\nWhy establishing trust is key (in three different areas)\r\nHow actions you take to day should also benefit you years later\r\nHow 4-8 years in the spotlight can take a toll\r\nWillingness to identify weaknesses\r\nSticking to your vision or comedic “Point Of View”\r\nPerforming due diligence before taking swift action\r\nHow diplomacy can help during a show\r\nFreeing yourself from tasks that you can delegate to someone else\r\nThe importance of Iowa to both groups\r\n\r\nAnd much, much more!\r\nWhat did we leave out?
