A two-hour speaking engagement on the value of humour in the workplace
Martin Erichsen's speech on humour is about seeing humour as an accelerator for communication and cooperation with your surroundings, whether you are a manager or employee. An accelerator because humour can bring out the best and the worst in communication and cooperation.
Learn about the benefits of humour
Go into any bar, anywhere in the world and if you can make people laugh, you'll win their trust and respect – no matter who you are or where you are from. Trust and respect are core values of any working relationship, between supplier and customer, teacher and student, doctor and patient, and between employees, friends and life partners.
Humour needs thought
On the other hand, humour also had the power to land Denmark in its worst foreign policy crisis since the Second World War. This happens when humour is put to negative use and the values are twisted into mistrust and lack of respect, which makes communication explosive.
Humour in the workplace can be compared with generating ideas. If the ideas are not targeted, they can quickly disturb our working focus. However, the right idea at the right time can be worth its weight in gold.
Using a combination of teaching, entertainment and practical exercises, Martin Erichsen gives inspiration on how to use humour in management, sales and teamwork.
