everybody hide your video

I am going to make a statement , if it applies to you, turn your video on

I am an extrovert

I am an introvert

I wish my boss were funnier

I wish I was funnier

I believe humor is inappropriate in the workplace

I'm curious....
what did she do to make you laugh?
why was she funny?

extroverts raise your hand if you have a thought about that, introverts put something in the chat.

What does Iliza Sclessinger have to do with leadership?

WHY AM I SHOWING YOU THIS CLIP

We will get to the Why

But let's break for a commercial

The trick as to why I used a clip is a stealthy ninja trick, that combines the deadly stealth if the Ninja, with the power of the force

Don't forget

The bar is low

The world doesn’t expect peole to be fall down funny. To get you to exercise, the first step is to get you to move. The second step is to create a focus with your movement …move with purpose… Comedy is the same way …it starts with an outlook of light hearted ness.
Whimsey and mirth. To get to the humor level we have to focus your lighthearted observations.
Well I cant do that
Good news is you dont have to

But I'm not funny
Great news, you dont have to be.
Let YouTube do it for you
If the greatest humorous boss gave their funniest 5 minute presentation before a business meeting

And the unfunniest boss, who shows a 5 minute clip of their favorite appropriate comic, will be seen with almost the same esteem as the funny boss

The funny boss who gets laughs inappropriately is the big loser

Humor makes you more memorable, believable and trustworthy

Everybody wants trust in the workplace......some have it

Humans have the ability to trust

They have a trust Hormone

Oxytocin is the trust hormone. It’s released during cuddling,sex,massage, childbirth and laughter. Which one is not awkward in a business setting?

Creativity goes up with Laughter.

If you can't make people laugh, strategically let YouTube or TikTok be your friend.

You all see a castle on the screen right?

OK , you need help...unmute yourself and say Hi Ray....OK start laughing

Do you see it now?

I am going to be quoting facts and figures today, but not footnoting them, because most can be found in one book written about all these studies by 2 Stanford Profffessor s who wrote a book about their MBA graduate school class

Its a great book to own, but even better to read....
