Business and poetry usually don’t mix. But vulnerability has the power to bring teams together.

Poet @INQonline has found an unlikely audience in business. A slam poetry veteran and accomplished songwriter, companies invite IN-Q to help strengthen their cultures. He works with teams to connect on a deeper level, using poetry to share something human. As he’ll tell you, winning over crowds of skeptical businesspeople is an art.

In this conversation, IN-Q takes me through a powerful exercise in vulnerability. He shares some deeply personal poems and walks me through writing my own, and I learn that to truly connect with someone else, you must offer something of yourself first.

This…is A Bit of Optimism.
