Humor isn’t a nice to have at work.

It is the ‘keeping it human’ secret sauce to bold growth, transformation, and creativity.

Creativity thrives in environments that celebrate and embrace humor and play.

Laughter also increases attractiveness, not that YOU need it.

Be cool, HR.

Innovation starts with trust

Trust is key to thinking differently and taking risks. When we use humor to deal with ‘failure’ and celebrate human imperfection, we get ridiculously brilliant ideas.

Culture needs connection

Great culture is built on connection. Laughter signals healthy culture! Where there is negative or no laughter, there is no trust. Let’s build healthy connection. brave spaces. and laugh our way to creativity. And it powers our relationships outside of work, too.

Courage pours from truth

It takes courage to step into truth and….the biggest ideas, stories and standing ovations come when courage fills the air! Aww yeah. Humor is brave fuel℠ for your courageous creativity.

Humor requires (and nurtures) trust, connection and courage, and all of these are required for innovative, creative culture.

Kathy did an excellent job leading our Daring Leadership program. She brought the lasting power of ‘Yes and!’ and laughter to our team and we’ve used it ever since to ignite growth. We still talk about it! She is funny, caring and demonstrates everything she teaches. Hire her!

Jack Longinotti, Program Chair – Careers, FEI Silicon Valley

“Kathy’s approach to creative ideation and concepting is fun, inspired and unique. Incorporating elements of improv to stretch the boundaries of how we approach content for our organization was such a great way to bring fresh thinking and perspective to the work we do. Content doesn’t have to be purely functional, and Kathy’s workshop helped us to see the evolving role of content and its capabilities for brand building and creative brand expression. Highly recommend!”
