Thank you for an amazing presentation on Tuesday! When can most people say that they spent more than 3 hours laughing and learning? Rochester has a reputation as a conservative, dare I say “stodgy” place. You single-handedly took a wrecking ball to that! You've set the bar incredibly high for future presenters.

Why Laughter Means Business in the Digital Age

It's never been easier to communicate and never been harder to connect. Between emails, virtual meetings, slack, social media, it's no wonder that burnout, stress and loneliness are at all-time highs, and trust is at an all-time low. Instead of hiring the latest strategic communications firm, or spending countless hours learning how to train AI bots to communicate for you, what if you could learn a few simple and easy tools to implement immediately that would drive connection and results?

Research shows that laughter and levity are some of the most powerful ways to build meaningful connections, increase trust, reduce stress, and enhance employee engagement and performance. In this engaging and enlightening keynote, veteran comedian Kate Davis demystifies what makes us laugh and provides practical techniques for using humor to truly make an impression whether it’s with clients, customers, co-workers, family, or friends.

Audiences will leave with takeaways including:

Specific examples and techniques to bring more levity into the workplace and how to de-risk humor

Ideas they can implement immediately on how to use humor to build trust with clients and colleagues.

Research and examples showing the power that humor has on human connection which inspires and motivates people to truly live to their fullest potential.

How to harness the power of humor to create an extraordinary work culture and team collaboration

I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to be with us and present at the HRCC Conference. Your presentation was nothing short of OUTSTANDING!! The energy in the room was pulpable, we could feel the positive vibes emanating off one another. Your keynote was the perfect way to kick off our conference, and it is exactly what we all needed after a 3 year hiatus from in-person gatherings.

Kate,<br>I wanted to thank you for the very informative and entertaining presentation this morning. I love the idea of “using fun to bring everyone into the moment”, and reducing stress so that people bring their best selves to business challenges.<br> <br>I was also absolutely amazed at your ability to sail through some brutal (and embarrassing on our part) audiovisual challenges throughout the presentation. Those distractions would have derailed many a speaker, but you made a few jokes and got right back on with the presentation like nothing happened.<br> <br>I’m taking the “handout” home to read cover to cover with my spouse tonight (who is a facilitator and executive coach by profession), and can’t wait for the next opportunity to hear you present.<br> <br>Thank you again!<br>
