If you have listened to me for any period of time, you know I like to laugh- because if you don’t laugh in this world- you will only end up crying. In my mind, laughter is really the best medicine for almost anything. But can laughter help you be a better leader?
My guest is Adam Christing is an American comedian, author, and motivational speaker from La Mirada, California. He is the founder and president of Clean Comedians, an organization composed of comedians, speakers, and entertainers who refrain from using objectionable material and profanity during their performances. He was voted as the best emcee by Best if LA and speaks at more than 100 events a year.
His new book is called "The Laughter Factor: The 5 Humor Tactics to Link, Lift and Lead.
“Humor is the shortcut to trust", says Christing. “Laughter skips the formalities and says, ‘I see you. I get you. I like you.’ It’s not just a nice-to-have—it’s the missing link for leaders, teams, and relationships of all kinds.”
