Laughing in presentations, meetings and at work? This may seem unconventional at first glance. In terms of natural history, laughter originates from showing teeth when threatened. This is equivalent to a biting movement, at least according to dogged behavioral researchers. But humor is much more today.
Humor in the world of work is not only permitted, but also extremely effective. When used in a targeted way, humor creates a positive working environment for customers and colleagues. How do I achieve this? What kind of humor is still funny and acceptable today?
Our workshop provides you with the tools and knowledge to strengthen your soft skills. Be ready to shape the world of work with a smile - and conquer it along the way!
