Humor Leadership – Improves Productivity and Morale

Learn how leading with humor will boost employee morale and productivity. Liysa Callsen will share the benefits and importance of humor in the workplace. Think of it as light-hearted-ness for the soul. For those businesses using servant leadership – this is a great addition to any business model. You will learn:

You don’t need to be a comic to lead with humor
Grant permission for laughs – set an example as the leader
Do’s and Don’ts to getting started
Practical, inexpensive and easy ideas to productivity with humor

Liysa Callsen, Presenter

Liysa has lived her entire life in the deaf community – with two deaf parents and a deaf husband – she learned to communicate differently. Really differently! Now, she’s finding the humor (and voice) in her challenges, and learning to be heard above the noise. Join Liysa on her hilarious journey through a silent world – which sometimes is not so silent – as she uses stories, improvisation, audience participation, and tips to help give you a fresh perspective on your obstacles. Liysa will teach you to use humor in life and in business, help you embrace diversity to form stronger teams, and teach you the art of communicating beyond words.

Liysa Callsen has a Bachelor’s Degree in Paralegal, mainly because her grandmother wanted her to be a lawyer and this was a compromise. Discovering her passion for speaking and humor she began a new course. Yes, it’s never too late. After training with Second City Chicago in improv, she started a local improv troupe, and then The Bubbler Theatre. She is the owner and producer of Lakeshore’s Top Comic. In November 2012 Liysa Callsen was invited to present her book Tell ‘em the memoir of a girl whose first language was not the spoken word at the Wisconsin Book Festival. Now, Liysa speaks to organizations all over the country. She is a member of AATH, (say it aloud, it's fun) Association for Applied Therapeutic Humor where she continues to learn more about the seriousness of humor.
