- Jennifer Aaker and Naomi Bagdonas discuss their book Humor, Seriously: Why Humor Is a Secret Weapon in Business and Life (And how anyone can harness it. Even you.). There exists a mistaken belief in today’s corporate world: that we have to be serious all the time in order to be taken seriously. But the research tells a different story: that humor can be one of the most powerful tools we have for accomplishing serious things. Studies show that humor makes us appear more competent and confident, strengthens relationships, unlocks creativity, and boosts our resilience during difficult times. Plus, it fends off a permanent and unsightly frown known as “resting boss face.”

This is fascinating and so valuable for teams to help communicate and connect authentically. I love Leslie Blodgett too! tee hee!
I absolutely loved it.
I think that that humor and levity shrinks distances between people is something that is innately known. Yours is that kind of book that shines light on something that, although innately obvious, is oblique to our awareness. You lot are stunning! I'm getting the book!
Thank you, listened for like 15 min at lunch and it was enough to help me. It works. Continuing to listen to the rest of it.
Actually just thinking of doing a series of classes with my students with social emotional disorder and autism on humor -- I'd like to take some ideas from this to share with them -- thanks!
Hice. Where can I find this book.? Great presentation. Thanks for sharing
Is it a serious humor that subtitles reverse last names of guests when Helen introduces them? :)
The idea is to just be yourself with a little educative-inspired tact in navigating situations .
Google love you ray

Well would you be able to help me get my driver's license back? I would really really like to get my driver's license back. I will even pay you if you don't mind. My name is Joseph d. Ransom Jr. I've had it for like 19 years. I'm not going on reading books, studying etc. I think the first time I did it I lucked out by the skin on my teeth. So I'm hoping someone out there will help me study and take my license test please. Thank you😊
Humour is not supposed to be used instrumentally. What a disgusting attitude.
*Would you believe that one of my ex !BOSSES! told me *H A V E . F U N!*. Basically you have to have fun in your life. Can you believe it. One of my ex B O S S E S. A . B O S S. and till this day it still sticks in my head. And so i have to be intentional about having fun*
