Course Description
Positive emotions aren’t a distraction from real work — they’re a catalyst for it. Neuroscience shows that joy broadens thinking, fuels creativity, strengthens relationships, and builds resilience. When people laugh more, connect more, and don’t take themselves sooo seriously, they problem-solve better, learn faster, and recover from setbacks sooner. The good news is that you don’t need to “BE Funny” to create a lighter atmosphere, you just need to be “easier to laugh.” 

As the final course in this series, you will leave inspired about what is possible when leaders intentionally create opportunities for real joy in the workplace. Lightheartedness is an act of social courage that can transform teams and build connection, trust and influence.

We remember the uplifting moments — when we learned something, achieved something meaningful, shared a smile, or felt genuine connection. This session will outline a dozen simple ways to make those moments happen more often — on purpose.

Applicable for
Leaders and emerging leaders of teams in industry, public practice, government and non-profit.
