CONNECTING THROUGH HUMOR: Why Laughter Means Business in the Digital Age

It's never been easier to communicate and never been harder to connect. Between emails, virtual meetings, slack, social media, it's no wonder that burnout, stress and loneliness are at all-time highs, and trust is at an all-time low.

Instead of hiring the latest strategic communications firm, or spending countless hours learning how to train AI bots to communicate for you, what if you could learn some simple and easy tools to implement immediately that would drive connection and results?

Research shows that laughter and levity are some of the most powerful ways to build meaningful connections, increase trust, reduce stress, and enhance employee engagement and performance.

In this engaging and enlightening keynote, veteran comedian Kate Davis demystifies what makes us laugh and provides practical techniques for using humor to truly make an impression whether it’s with clients, customers, co-workers, family, or friends. And if she makes you laugh in the process, it was almost certainly on purpose.

Audiences will leave with takeaways including:

  • Specific examples and techniques to bring more levity into the workplace and how to de-risk humor. (We’ll save impressions and prop work for the advanced class.)
  • Ideas they can implement immediately on how to use humor to build trust with clients and colleagues.
  • Research and examples showing the power that humor has on human connection which inspires and motivates people to truly live to their fullest potential.
  • How to harness the power of humor to create an extraordinary work culture and collaborate as a team.

This keynote is good for any group that wants to empower their teams to improve their culture, grow sales, grow customers, or anyone who wants to improve their connections and most importantly anyone who wants to LAUGH!

BALANCING LIFE WITH HUMOR: We’re jugglers and the 1st ball to drop is usually our own

The world is becoming more volatile, finding balance between our jobs, home, relationships with family, friends and co-workers can be challenging and overwhelming both in the workplace and home leading to stress, fatigue and low productivity. I mean nowadays we get stressed when our cell rings or excited when people cancel plans.

So, we stretch in every direction trying to satisfy and take care of everyone but ourselves. What if there was a simple way to bring more balance into our lives that didn’t require over extending ourselves, our resources, and helped us be more present in our lives. Something you didn’t even have to change into yoga pants for?

Humor can do just that.

Grounded in 2 decades of research and development this award-winning author, speaker and comic teaches people how to lighten up and the power that humor and levity have on their day-to-day lives to create more Balance, stability and self-care.

Audiences will leave with takeaways including.

  • Learning how to apply and use humor into their day-to-day life to keep them healthy, happy, and whole.
  • They’ll learn practical techniques on how humor changes the chemistry of our brains and how to implement the benefits it has on stress management, human connection, and trust both at home and the workplace.
  • They’ll learn what humor style they fit into and how use that to ease tension, create an innovative environment, and enhance communication.
  • They’ll discover how humor and levity allow us to be more playful which leads to innovation and team collaboration.
  • They’ll experience a great ab workout from laughing so hard.

It’s not about the next best joke it’s about lightening up and not taking ourselves so seriously and bring that to every area of our lives.

People, who attend Kate’s “Balancing Life with Humor” Keynote, leave with an understanding of practical techniques for refueling, rediscovering, and reengaging their true selves. Learning to use humor as an instrument of communication creates an atmosphere of compassion, caring, and increased productivity.
