Humor, Seriously: Why Humor Is a Secret Weapon in Business and Life | Talks at Google

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.” Get the book here: https://goo.gle/2S9YGzP Discover your humor style by signing up for the Humor, Seriously Bootcamp: https://bootcamp.humorseriously.com/.
