We're great at professional videos! Gallup shows having a work best friend boosts job satisfaction & profitability. Plus, just 5 mins of shared laughter increases intimacy by 30%. Laughter isn't just fun; it's a success strategy. Tag a colleague who lifts you up! 🤝 #humor

we are screaming bc @VancityReynolds guest-starred in our class this year!! He’s probably the first person in the history of @Stanford to be nominated by our students in both categories: being an entrepreneur who uses humor effectively and an actor who is devastatingly funny.

We’re so blown away by the ethos that Solina lives by. Here are some of our favorites: - Nothing good will be achieved if nothing is attempted - Make space for connection and play - there is a magic in giving people the space to connect as human beings.

- We all want impact, and one big impact that we can have is the happiness we build together. - Be interesting and be interested.

We’re honored to have Bob Sternfels & Gary Pinkus from @McKinsey join as guests in this week’s Humor: Serious Business class. We got a sneak peek into how humor has accelerated business processes at McKinsey.

Here are some of our favorite takeaways: 1. Start with being human, then transition to humor 2. Humor is culturally and regionally dependent. Sometimes humor doesn’t always translate — humor falling flat isn’t the end of the world, but you must be careful not to offend people

3. The more trust you establish in a team, the more you’re able to create an environment that welcomes humor. The most toxic kind of humor is one that singles folks out

🪩 Find humor in the dark times. A humor buddy who knows you and is familiar with the situation is a great asset for laughing through the tough time.

🧰 Build a get-a-grip kit. Create a list of things that bring you joy, make you laugh, keep you entered. Refresh it over time and keep it handy! Don’t be shy to use it to put people at ease.
