Can humor help us create better work? YES! AND - We don't hear many stories of leaders - esp. women - doing their thing and using THEIR unapologetic humor THEIR way. They're blazing new paths, upending expectations and changing the status quo. There are a few stories and in the press; I know there's so many more. This podcast is dedicated to those stories and conversations. How does humor create better work? Who are these women leaders? What lessons can they offer? What's funny to them? Part comedy, part interview, this podcast will change how we talk about better work, humor AND funny women.

Episode 6: How Laughter is the Key to Shared Connection Between Human Beings and Why Magic Happens When You are Unencumbered by Being Right

Dani Klein Modisett is the Founder and CEO of Laughter On Call. She is a woman after my own heart.

We're both comedians, improvisers, business women, moms, have 3 names and we both believe in the power of laughter. This conversation was one of my favorites (they all are!) because we both believe in the message of joy. We know that Covid created a profound sense of isolation that led to disconnection. Girl, preach. And her business pivoted and grew to meet that demand for shared laughter.

This episode is so rich in fun and life wisdom, I think you'll love it too!

We chat about:

Meeting on LinkedIn, the most unfunny social platform. or is it changing?
How she pivoted from working with Alzheimer's patients to recognizing that laughter healed the isolation so many of us feel
The power of Improv and How Covid forced us (all of us) to say 'yes and!' to change
The challenge of cynicism and she gives me a (Greek!) history lesson
Being a woman in comedy and her journey from waitress in NY to helping people laugh for a living
Why magic happens when you let go of being right and accepting your imperfections (she'll tell us hers!)
Why shared laughter is the key to human connection between / among humans (a big 'yes and' to that!)
The big life thing: find your joy!
