Leaders who know how to use humor, who are confident enough to share what they find funny with others, who share humor with others are more effective. Their companies have less burnout, less turnover, and have workers that are more resilient, healthier, and more engaged. Some of the best and most engaging leaders knew how to use humor. Leaders that know how and when to use humor are simply better leaders.
Attendee Outcomes:
Disengagement has remained high for years. Some have it as high as 80% of the workforce. The Great Resignation should not have been a surprise nor should the high levels of turnover. People routinely feel separated from their work and the people they work with. We continue to make work less enjoyable and less engaging. But we can fix it with some basic easy steps. The first thing to realize is that humor is one of the easiest, most enjoyable, and effective ways to help build a culture of engagement--where people are more resilient, healthier, and who overall find more enjoyment and fulfillment in their work.
Attendee Outcomes:
Research now shows that procrastination, lack of motivation, and laziness are not problems of character. They are actually the result of negative thoughts that impede us from getting to the task at hand. We can overcome these thoughts by interrupting the cycles of bad thoughts and emotions through the careful use of humor.
Attendee Outcomes
Ask anyone if they've ever worked somewhere where there wasn't much laughter and humor. They'll tell you it was awful. But the fact remains that humor and laughter are often discouraged in most organizations. This is simply wrong and we know it. We need to work to create atmospheres where levity and laughter are encouraged. This talk shows people why laughter and humor are so important to a meaningful life, and how they can achieve that.
