Here’s why humor and laughter work:
On the highest levels, humor and laughter are:
- Universal – we all have our inner “funny” and the power of a smile or laugh is equally appreciated and felt around the world, among all ethnicities, and within all age groups.
- Empowering – research shows that individuals who demonstrate a sense of humor are seen as more competent, confident and trustworthy.
- “Safe” - comedy and humor allow individuals to discuss and engage in ways that feel safe yet are often more effective at revealing key issues, challenges, team dynamics, and solutions.
- Mind-altering – Just hearing one joke changes the way a person’s brain works. The experience shifts the brain from linear thinking to nonlinear thinking.
- Teams who viewed a comedy set before being a given problem to solve came up with 25% more solutions and different solutions than those teams that did not.
