Episode Overview

How is working like a comedian the key to a happier working culture? Andy Goram discusses the surprising parallels with guest, stand-up comic, trainer, coach and founder of "Happy At Work", Mel Byron. The pair talk about the process comedians go through to get to the outcomes they are looking for and how that directly relates to how leaders and employees can up their engagement, productivity, performance and positive outcomes.

 

During the lively conversation, the pair discuss the parallels between the processes a comedian goes through to make people happy, and how many of these follow-through at work. Topics such as storytelling, spaghetti towers, Norvig's interpretation of The Gettysburg Address, Voltaire, Archimedes, Thomas A' Beckett and the 40's film actress Kay Francis are all covered and give listeners some practical thoughts to take away and start making their working lives a bit happier.
