Description: 
 

Traditional success strategies fall short in the modern workplace, where stress and disengagement are rampant and cost businesses nearly $500 billion annually. In this environment, humor stands out as a vital tool—not just a perk—for enhancing communication, building relationships, and unlocking creative problem-solving abilities. Leaders who use humor cultivate adaptability and productivity, proving that work becomes more efficient and rewarding when it’s truly enjoyable: what gets fun, gets done.

Beyond handling tight deadlines, stakeholder demands, and endless meetings, humor is an essential skill anyone can master—not reserved solely for comedians. Project leaders who incorporate humor work smarter and foster a happier, more engaged team, making it a genuine secret weapon for thriving in a high-pressure world.

 

Takeaways:

Participants will learn 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 stakeholders, colleagues, and clients.
