Naomi Bagdonas - Why Humour is a Superpower at Work
Season 1, Episode 57, Oct 19, 2020, 10:40 AM
Rachel Schofield shares OMI with Naomi Bagdonas on the importance of having (and displaying) a sense of humour in the buttoned down business environment.
This podcast will tell you how and why it pays to lighten the mood with friends and colleagues, even of you're the ex-head of the KGB bantzing with the US Secretary of State.
Pranks may not be the best policy however, so have a listen and work out what your best approach is before you pile in with a stream of one-liners.
'Eye-opening, important and utterly enjoyable. Come for the humour, stay for the insights.' That's what Arianna Huffington says of HUMOUR SERIOUSLY, WHY HUMOUR IS A SUPERPOWER AT WORK AND IN LIFE, the new book by Stanford lecturer / stand-up comic Naomi Bagdonas and Stanford behavioural psychologist Jennifer Aaker. Together they investigate what it means to have a laugh without losing respect in the office (or on Zoom) and why we stop having fun (at our peril) as we get older.
