They say an expert is never appreciated in his/her home town. That is why it was nice to get a little buzz from my hometown newspaper, The Des Moines Register.

Writer Thomas Fogarty covered my presentation at what was then called the University Park Holiday Inn and did a nice writeup. In the piece he quotes:

“Self depricating humor is generally the safest and most effective type for the workplace. Laugh at what you do, and not who you are.”

This is a fun article and highlights many of the key points during my workshops.

One of the highlights of my speaking experience was the opportunity to write a piece for one of the most respected Insurance journals in the business. It is incredibly hard to be even considered for this and the process for getting the article in the journal is a long one that usually requires many rewrites.

I only had to make some minor revisions. This article is a comprehensive piece on humor in the workplace as it relates not only to the insurance industry, but to all business professionals as well.

In fact, at the very beginning of the article I make a bold assertion. I write:

“The most important business survival skill you can posses is a sense of humor. Humor can create rapport, reduce tension, increase cooperation and facilitate communication.”

My article talks about many skills and techniques you can use to impiment humor effectively in a workplace setting.
