Speaking of Riffing
In public speaking, something always goes wrong. It’s best to set your mind to this as a fact, a static expectation, a simple truth. The more you travel and speak, the more that will not only be guaranteed to go wrong, but will also be so far out of your control. Being an excellent speaker means being a control freak with nothing to control. You carry every extra cord, hoping you don’t have to whip out your really cool “tech bag”, but also hoping just a bit you do, so you can be the MacGyver of the Mic. Debonair, tech extraordinaire. 
Not Applicable
Epistemically, our fields of mental health and suicide prevention were built for and by academics, researchers, and clinicians. They had no choice but to pursue formal education in order to create best practices. But, I wonder if, over time, and especially now, as lived experience leadership truly begins to blossom, if those degrees aren’t being weaponized against us? I wonder if our credibility judgments don’t still steer toward formal education and away from experiences we don’t know how to quantify or “letter”.
