The Missing Skill for Success and Happiness at Work
In today’s fast-paced, high-stakes workplace, traditional strategies for success are no longer enough. Even high performers are feeling the pressure: 83% of Americans report being stressed at work, and disengagement is costing businesses close to $500 billion dollars annually. While everyone is told to “work hard” and “be resilient,” no one is taught the critical skill that sets top performers apart: humor.
Humor isn’t just for comedians—it’s a powerful skill anyone can learn to sharpen communication, build stronger relationships, and foster creative problem-solving. High performers who embrace humor are more adaptable, better leaders, and surprisingly, more productive. Why? Because what gets fun, gets done.
This engaging session will help you unlock your sense of humor and leverage it as your secret weapon to getting more from work. By combining best business practices with smart levity, you’ll learn how to:
Cut through the noise with communication that resonates with (almost) everyone.
Go beyond resilience and turn stress into a catalyst for change and growth.
Build instant (and long-lasting) rapport with colleagues and clients.
Whether you’re leading a team, closing deals, or climbing the corporate ladder, if you’re ready to work smarter, and happier, it’s time to discover why humor isn’t just fun—it’s your competitive advantage.
