The line between humour and a bad joke is hard to see sometimes. In a workplace setting, misplaced ‘humour’ can be an expensive error. People love humour so let’s harness it well.

Good humour builds rapport. People feel comfortable, relaxed and engaged, as well as alert! Recognise and use comments with group interaction techniques, people will learn and remember when you acknowledge their ideas and contributions. Used correctly, workplace humour can become an integral part of your workplace culture and help to build trust and cooperation.

I so enjoyed being trained by some of the world's’ finest comedy writers and performers visiting the UK, that I brought the first stand-up comedy training courses to Wellington in 1997 (when stand-up was new and shiny in the capital). Since then I have performed MC, ensemble, solo and as a comedy festival Diva, taught storytelling, media skills and presentation techniques.
