Humor, Seriously: Why Humor is a Secret Weapon

Work has changed. Seriously. With the shift to remote work, your sense of humor just might be one of your most under-leveraged assets. That’s why Naomi Bagdonas teaches the popular course Humor: Serious Business at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, and has co-authored a book on the topic with Dr. Jennifer Aaker, called Humor, Seriously.

Naomi will join us to share findings from behavioral scientists, advice from world-class comedians, and stories from inspiring business leaders to reveal how humor works and — more importantly —how you can use it to be more effective at work and more joyful in life.
