The strategic humour revolution. Here’s what’s exciting: we’re at a tipping point. Just as EQ transformed how we think about leadership, strategic humour is emerging as the next frontier in coaching excellence. Early adopters are already seeing the benefits, and they’re getting a serious competitive edge.
Description :
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: avoiding strategic humour 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.
