The Levity Effect: It Pays to Lighten Up
(Dec 1)

Presented by Scott Christopher, is author of the bestselling People People: Who They Are, Why They Win and How To Become One and The Levity Effect: Why It Pays to Lighten Up, and contributing author of The Daily Carrot Principle and A Carrot A Day.

Business professionals who consciously and deliberately lighten up can reap real rewards. Citing research, case studies and powerful examples, Scott shows that people with a sense of humor climb the corporate ladder faster — and make more money — than their more serious peers. The three Levity pillars of “latitude, attitude and gratitude" accelerate employee commitment and engagement more than any other leadership value. The Levity Effect is not about whoopee cushions and one-liners at work; it’s less about being funny as it is about being fun. Meeting planners will learn how levity enhances their communications with suppliers, improving negotiations and outcomes, and setting the foundation for long-term business partnerships.

Participants will learn:

• How Levity enhances communications, strengthens sales relationships and builds trust 
• How traditionally “serious" organizations are using Levity to drive results 

• How and why to take a holistic approach to Levity (take it home!)
