HUMOUR: MASTERCLASS
Traditional humour is seen as joke telling – 3 horses walked into a bar… we know you are dying to hear the rest!
Traditional humour is dad jokes. Let’s put an end to that crime right here and now.
If you are guilty of dad jokes (whether you are a dad or not), before you read further, hold up their right hand and say aloud ‘When I’m at work I solemnly swear no more dad jokes’.
Humour power (humour in business is not telling jokes). So, a hard no to dad jokes (apologies to all the dads out there), politically incorrect old fashioned and out of date humour.
Today modern humour power in business is using humour skilfully, purposefully and appropriately to influence. It builds people up, is warm, gentle, emotionally friendly humour.
Generating laughs is an official corporate motto at Southwest and the airlines encourages the use of humour and also tests for humour as part of its recruitment process. Humour is now serious business!
Humour? You have to be kidding, you might say. ‘I’m not funny, and definitely not at work!’
Humour power can be taught and learnt, and no matter what your message or your industry, humour can help you succeed.
