Wise Man & Wise Guy.


Gravitas and levity are Latin words that represent seriousness and lightness, respectively. The wisest people I know intuitively recognize when a group could use a bit more of one or the other.

One of my mentors, Buzz McCoy, told me that the first thing he noticed upon entering a room of people in a meeting was whether they needed depth or humor or the perfect alchemy of both. 

How can you be a wise social alchemist who knows which situations need a little more gravitas and which need a little more lightness? Often, the wisest one in the room knows the perfect timing to shift the energy.
