In the USA humour has been considered an important soft skill for executives for quite some time. In this part of the world humour is not only becoming socially accepted in everyday leadership but, according to experts, is a condition for success. There are many good reasons for it because a humorous communication style has got lots of advantages. Sharing a laugh brings people together, intensifies the feeling of togetherness, and humour helps to improve the working atmosphere considerably. Funny memories, tied to positive feelings, stick in one’s mind much longer than a factual presentation, and they have a motivating effect. First and foremost humour is the ability to change a point of view and thus it helps to alleviate threatening and burdensome situations. In the past people used to say “Laughter is the best medicine“ – these days you can assume that jokes and humour lower the stress level. Besides, humour is an indicator for emotional stability: people who can take things with humour send a signal that they are able to look at such things from a certain distance. Humorous executives appear more self-confident because the attention is directed away from the position and towards the person.
In this seminar you will get the opportunity to broaden your potential for humour. You will get to know several humorous and improvising strategies and interventions which will help you to enrich your leadership style and thus to create a productive performance atmosphere.
Executives on all levels who want to develop and apply their humour competence in their leadership work
