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! šŸ¤ #humor

we are screaming bc @VancityReynolds guest-starred in our class this year!! Heā€™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.

Weā€™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.

Weā€™re honored to have Bob Sternfels & Gary Pinkus from @McKinsey join as guests in this weekā€™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 doesnā€™t always translate ā€” humor falling flat isnā€™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 youā€™re able to create an environment that welcomes humor. The most toxic kind of humor is one that singles folks out

šŸŖ© 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.

šŸ§° 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! Donā€™t be shy to use it to put people at ease.
