Are you trying to figure out how to incorporate humor into your business management? Do you feel as if things are a bit too serious and could use a more relaxed feel? Introducing humor into your management system could be just the solution you need. It’s not going to be easy and depending on the type of business, you could really have your work cut out for you. However, humor lightens the mood for your employees, increases the chances they will listen to you and remember what you say and when done effectively, can increase productivity.

Let’s start by defining what humor is. Webster defines humor as “a quality akin to wit, but depending for its effect less on point or brilliancy of expression”. What does that mean and how does that help you with your business management approach?

Humor deals with emotions and the expression of them in a light-hearted way that leaves others with a good feeling. When it comes to business, this is very important. You want people you deal with to feel good. It doesn’t matter if it’s the people you sell to or the person that delivers the mail. When people feel good, they perform better.

Introducing humor into your management system will increase the effectiveness of the people that you work with. There are pitfalls though so caution should be taken when attempting to mix in humor. Since people have different senses of humor, you don’t want to offend anyone. There are different areas of humor and following a very simple chart will keep you from making mistakes. If you consider humor like a street light you can consider three colors of humor:

- Red
- Yellow
- Green  Read more...

I was recently reading a magazine and came across an article about involving humor in the workplace. My eyes naturally gravitated toward the article, as I am all about incorporating fun into my workday. As I read through the article, I started laughing out loud at how ridiculous it was (not the laugh the author was looking for).

The article was, for lack of better words, lame. His points were stiff, structured, and focused on when and how to use humor in the workplace. Some of the “laughable” tips include avoiding intellectual humor and practicing your joke, yet looking for ways to make it appear spontaneous. I don’t know about you, but I am not practicing the joke I am going to crack in a meeting the night before, and definitely am not practicing ways to make it seem impulsive.

I am privileged to work in a growing, small business that encourages team members to be themselves and bring their own sense of humor to the table, very unlike the article that I read. PaySimple created its core values into the PaySimple PATH (which stands for Passion, Authenticity, Teamwork, and Happiness) and the PATH always begins and ends with Fun! As a small business, our team members are constantly working hard for our clients and continuously striving to contribute to the success of our company. Humor brings us together and creates a more enjoyable work environment. When you are working hard 9 hours a day, who doesn’t want to occasionally break for a laugh?

Creating your own Business Cards with Business Card Templates

There are many budget design options out there for people who are trying to create their own company business cards.  They range from the completely ‘homespun’ method of doing-it-yourself on your inkjet printer, to paying for a freelance designer or budget online logo company to create your business card for you. You may want to consider using the business card template resources that can be easily found online.

As a designer and marketing manager with over a decade of industry experience (working for large corporations, print companies, as well as freelancing for small business clients) I feel qualified enough to offer you my own insight into creating your business card using business card templates that you can find on almost all online print sites.

Your cheapest-of –the-cheap business card template option is to design and print business cards yourself using those perforated Avery business card sheets that you can buy at Staples for $16.00. Don’t do it!!! I mean, there’s doing it yourself, and then there’s trying to feed cardstock through a printer and making a complete inky mess!

Here’s a rundown of the problems you’ll encounter when ‘shoe stringing’ your business cards with an Avery busines card template and an Inkjet Printer:

You’re going to have to create your business card design in Microsoft Word, Open Office, or other such office program that was clearly never meant for designing and printing business cards!

The story of my business – Meetings with humor: How Not to take work seriously  

 
Have you laughed today?

My name is Debbie Iancu Haddad (32), I’m a mother of two darling children, a phd student at BGU and I am a lecturer on humor and laugh yoga instructor.

I was born in Israel to a British mother & Romanian father who met in the immigration center (mercaz klitah) in Beer-Sheva. When I was 10 months old the family returned to England for six years, and re-emigrated in 1981.

Growing up bilingual in Israel was a huge help and has seen me through a BA, an MA and a third of a Phd. Even though I take studying seriously (almost no one who knows me would say too seriously) – my research interests focus on humor. My MA was an exploration of Diet humor and my doctorate research is about humor as a communication tool used by managers and head masters. If that isn’t enough I’m also a laugh yoga instructor. You may ask “don’t I take anything seriously?” Well the answer is: “No. But thank you for asking”. 

I opened my business in 2006 when I was unemployed following the birth of my 2 nd child. I had just been accepted into the BGU department of education as a phd student but was not granted a scholarship because my grade point average was 2.5 points below the cutoff (some would call that funny…). I needed to find work that would on the one hand keep the mortgage payments going out and on the other hand give me enough time to study. My friends in the department used to joke that we would never make any money from anthropology… but there was one guy who gave lectures to schools on his MA subject. Since my MA subject was Diet Humor, and since almost everyone diets I thought there might be some people interested.
