Humor at work– Let’s train our humor muscles for the business success!

Humor in the workplace improves the productivity, well-being and psychological safety of employees. Where there is no trust, people do not dare to laugh. Laughing together helps employees feel good and helps retention. It is also a great tool to increase creativity and reduce stress.

“Humour is an untapped superpower in business.”
Naomi Bagdonas, instructor of the Stanford, Humor: Serious Business course

The good news is that everyone has a sense of humor and it can be developed with practice. You don’t have to be a comedian to laugh.
At our humor workshops, participants can discover their own humor style, the humor mindset, and learn new methods and practical tools to develop their sense of humor.

Would you like more humor in your life? Many people think that people either have a sense of humor or they don’t. Yet humor is also a skill that can be developed. Humor makes us healthier and has countless positive effects. Forming new habits doesn’t happen overnight. To achieve lasting results and incorporate new humor habits, we recommend you our Humor Habits workshop series. At every workshop, the participants try out a new humor habit and identify ways how to practice it in their everyday life and work. At the end of the program, every participant prepares their own humor project, which integrates humor into everyday life. In the interactive workshop, we will discover together that everyone has a sense of humor, and we will also get to know practical tools. Practicing between occasions helps them develop new humor habits.
