THE LEVITY EFFECT: IT PAYS TO LIGHTEN UP

Fun at Work is Serious Business

Humorist and corporate culture expert Scott Christopher debunks the myth that levity is somehow a frivolous non-issue and detrimental to an organization’s success. In a lively and hilarious speech, Christopher establishes the case for levity leadership using:

  • data from the Great Place to Work Institute’s million-person study establishing the connection between “fun at work” and “best places”
  • statistics from various surveys and research supporting the importance of having a sense of humor
  • case studies and stories from KPMG, Boeing, Microsoft, Virgin, Southwest Airlines and many other organizations where levity has moved the needle
  • proven tips, tools, and ideas on how to lighten up a workplace NOW

 

Take-aways:

Using the levity effect in:

  • the business relevance of humor and fun
  • energizing fun at work
  • building trust
  • creating dynamic presentations
  • holding more effective meetings
  • enhancing creativity
  • levity for home and life



PEOPLE PEOPLE: LEARNING TO PUT ‘PEOPLE FIRST’ AND WHY YOU SHOULD EVEN CARE

Are you a ‘People’ Person? And why does it matter?

In an increasingly competitive business climate, People People provide more tangible value to a company than ever before.

Why?

As constantly-improving technology dehumanizes relationships and communications–allowing ‘users’ to hide behind their e-personas–People People lift their organizations above the competition by refusing to lose touch with humanity.

  • They prefer a phone call over text.
  • A face-to-face chat over an email.
  • A handshake over a ‘poke’ or ‘nudge.’

 

Sharing a mix of business cases, research data and compelling stories, Scott builds a convincing case that winning organizations are flush with People People and that ‘nice guys’ really do finish first: People People are healthier, wealthier, happier and live longer than their less-caring cohorts. The simple truth is that being a People Person is less about being good WITH people, as being good TO people.

 

Take-aways:

  • Understanding the four fundamental attributes (C.A.R.E.™) of People People
  • How to become a true Type III People Person
  • Why ‘People First’ organizations excel, and how to do it
