You have to talk about the ‘elephant in the room’ – the big thing that everyone knows but doesn’t want to talk about. But if you do that, the colossal animal becomes so much smaller.
For example: If I, as a speaker, know that there is anxiety in the room: verbalise the anxiety. If there is a conflict in the group – tell me you know about it. If someone thinks I’m too old for my position: mention it, preferably with a twinkle in my eye, as when President Biden recently said that he “although it doesn’t show, been around for a while”.
