In our previous episode with Julianna Newland we talked about the importance of humor in leadership and I was reminded of our 2nd podcast episode with my sister-in-law, Andrea Canny, and neurohumorist, Karyn Buxman, where we also explored humor in leadership.
Here are some of the topics we covered in Ep 2:
- The science of laughter and what happens in the brain
- Humor Theory
- Benefits of humor in enhancing approachability, trust, health and wellbeing.
- Humor used as a tool or weapon
- Promoting good leadership with humor
- Appropriate use of humor when there are power differentials involved
- Generational differences in humor perception
