Todays podcast we talk about the importance of humour in your personal and professional life. Humour is one of the chapters in the book Vitality Knocks as Vitality grows and succeeds in the later stage of her life as a business leader. Author Anita Heidema's notes.

Here are 3 of the reasons we mention in the podcast in the podcast series for the chapters of my best selling book Vitality Knocks and its 10 year anniversary.

Humor can be a powerful tool for any leader, including female business leaders. Here are some reasons why it's particularly valuable:
