Please register by 08/15/2022 - 2:00 PM EDT to ensure receipt of the meeting link. If you have registered for a previous WNO meeting, when you register this time, you can fill in fields where the information has not changed with "Same"! As the world settles back into some form of this new normal, you may have noticed something is missing. No, not hugs, but humor. Amidst all the Zoom calls, reply-to-all e-mails, and attempts at hy-brid work environments, many workers have lost their sense of humor and the workplace has lost its sense of humanity. Luckily, you can learn how to restore both. There's no doubting that humor is a superpower: people who use humor in their work are more productive, less stressed, and happier. They also make more money and are seen as more attractive... but how do you effectively use hu-mor in the workplace? Whether you know you're hilarious or you're currently thinking "But I'm not funny," the truth is that you are far more capable than you realize. And when it comes to learning the skill of humor, the question isn't, "Are you funny?" The question is "What kind of funny are you?" Andrew Tarvin likes to introduce himself this way: Ever since I can remember, I've been obsessed with efficiency. Even my name is efficient. My full name is Andrew, but I go by Drew because it's only one syllable. Efficient. As an IT Project Manager at Procter & Gamble, I led multi-million-dollar projects for a $350 million brand. On my first day, my manager told me: It's better to beg forgiveness than ask for permission. I decided to test this. I didn't give away company secrets or steal pens from the supply closet (okay, one); rather I added jokes to the ends of my e-mails, volunteered to MC meetings I wasn't invited to, and taught improv to my team. I even declared myself the Corporate Humorist, complete with business cards, a blog, and nameplate for my cubicle wall. I made two discoveries...Using humor at work helped me be more effective with the hardest thing I had to manage: fellow human beings. Register today!
