The North American HR Leadership Network (NAHRLN), of which HRLF is a proud member, is pleased to present this very special Summer Program via Zoom!
Leaders with a sense of humor are not only seen as more competent and more motivating, but they also have higher levels of employee engagement and are more likely to solve complex problems creatively.
Humor increases social connection and reduces the hierarchical distance between leaders and their teams. You might be thinking “It would be much easier to use humor if my job wasn't so stressful!" Believe it or not, one of the most effective tools to decrease stress and enhance overall wellbeing is… your sense of humor!
This Zoom content-rich session not only provides the foundation of why humor is such an effective leadership trait, but also how to incorporate more humor into your leadership style and everyday life. Using a combination of proven strategies and research from positive psychology, neuroscience, cognitive behavioral techniques, and improv and stand-up comedy, you’ll learn evidence-based techniques for how you can develop your sense of humor into a powerful leadership tool to enhance well-being and boost performance!
