Strategic humour in coaching

For whom is the course strategic humour in coaching?

 

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room: strategic humour in coaching. For years, many coaches have treated humour like that one weird food in the fridge that might have gone bad – better safe than sorry, right? But here’s the thing: playing it safe might actually be holding us back.

 

The risk that’s worth taking

Think about it – everything we do as coaches involves some level of risk. When we send an email, it could be misinterpreted. When we advise an executive on a major investment, millions could be at stake. Yet we don’t stop doing these things. Instead, we learn to manage the risks.

 

So why do we treat humour differently?

 

What you’re missing without humour

By avoiding humour in our coaching practice, we’re actually leaving a lot on the table:

– Deeper trust with clients

– Fresh perspectives on old problems

– Enhanced productivity

– Stronger team cultures

– More engaging sessions

 

The best part? This isn’t just feel-good theory. Science is backing up what we’ve intuitively known for ages: humour works. Research shows it helps with everything from building relationships to boosting creativity and problem-solving. It’s like Emotional Intelligence’s fun cousin – equally powerful, but way more entertaining.

This program is especially beneficial for professionals who prioritise effective listening and communication with clients, team members, staff, and students.

 

This program includes

  • Enjoy weekly 60-minute live Zoom training sessions with none other than the world’s #1 Neurohumorist!
  • Additionally, gain replay access to all sessions to reinforce your learning whenever needed.
  • Plus, also receive bonus video content on program topics that you won’t find anywhere else. 
  • Additionally, access valuable resources, including a whitepaper, workbook, and other tools, along with prizes of unspeakable value1
  • Furthermore, benefit from private community access for support, allowing you to connect and vibe with your tribe. 
  • And, for an extra touch of fun, a secret handshake (shhhhhhh…). 
  • Finally, receive a certificate of completion to proudly display on your wall (or even your refrigerator).

  • Greater transformation: Additionally, humour can help people reframe challenges, release tension, and shift perspectives. This, in turn, can create more space for creativity, insight, and breakthroughs, ultimately leading to greater transformation.
