🎃 Happy Halloween! 👻

Today’s the one day of the year where it’s socially acceptable—no, encouraged—to be silly, weird, and wonderfully stupid.

In a world that constantly demands us to be polished, productive, and “professional,” it’s refreshing to have a day where we can drop the mask… or, ironically, put one on. 😜

So go ahead—be a zombie, a clown, or your favorite Excel spreadsheet. Laugh at yourself. Have fun. Remember that playfulness isn’t childish—it’s human.

Because perfection is exhausting… but laughter? That’s pure magic. ✨

Ever feel your energy crash mid-day? ☕💀
It’s not you—it’s biology.

Your body runs on 90–120 minute cycles called ultradian rhythms.
You hit a focus peak… then a 20-minute dip.

Most people fight it.
☕ More coffee.
💻 Push through.
😩 Feel drained by 3pm.

But research from 12 Wachovia banks found that employees who took breaks—a walk, a nap, a change of task—
✨ felt happier
💰 made 13% more in loans
🏦 and 20% more in deposits.

Breaks = strategy, not laziness.
Because recovery isn’t the opposite of work—it’s part of it. 💪

Ever notice how everyone at work has a signature stress move?
Some of us breathe… some snack… some twitch. 😂

The truth is — stress isn’t the problem. It’s how we respond to it.
And laughter? That’s one of the most powerful responses we’ve got.

Because when you laugh, you’re not escaping reality — you’re resetting it.

👉 So tell me — what’s YOUR go-to stress response?
(And if it’s “E) All of the above,” welcome to the club 😎)

Feeling all kinds of lucky 🍀 and grateful 🙏

Before I met Tim Gard, I was just a fan watching his videos and learning from afar.
Then one day… surprise! He walked into the room as a judge for a competition I was in. I almost fainted 😅

I won that competition — and since then, Tim has become not only my mentor but a true inspiration.
He’s a Hall of Fame speaker, a storytelling genius, and one of the kindest humans you’ll ever meet.

Working with Tim is one of those full-circle moments I’ll never forget. ❤️

💡 New research says laughter isn’t just fun — it’s medicine.

A recent study with frontline nurses found that just 8 sessions of laughter yoga significantly reduced stress, lowered burnout, and boosted life satisfaction.
Yes — laughter literally helped them cope better with COVID-era chaos.

Imagine what it could do for your team meetings, retreats, or wellness programs.

We spend thousands on stress management... maybe it’s time to invest in smile management. 😄

What if the secret weapon in the fight against burnout isn’t another app, email detox, or mandatory “wellness day” — but laughter yoga? A recent randomized-controlled trial suggests it just might be. The Study in a Nutshell Participants: 101 nurses caring for COVID-19 patients (51 in the lau...

1️⃣ “Humor is unprofessional.”
→ Nope. When done right, humor builds trust, lowers stress, and makes your workplace way more human.

2️⃣ “You can’t teach humor.”
→ I’ve spent 20+ years doing exactly that — helping teams use humor strategically (and yes, without dad jokes).

3️⃣ “We don’t have time for humor.”
→ You don’t have time not to. Burnout costs U.S. companies $190 BILLION a year. A 5-minute laugh break is cheaper than turnover.

😄 Bottom line:
A culture of laughter isn’t fluff — it’s ROI.
When people laugh, they connect. When they connect, they thrive.

Meetings don’t have to be boring. 😴

Try this game: Wrong Answers Only!
Ask a regular work question—but everyone has to give the worst answer possible. 😂

“What’s our goal this quarter?”
➡️ “To make coffee strong enough to power the WiFi.” ☕⚡

It’s quick, hilarious, and gets people thinking creatively (and laughing together).

Would your coworkers nail this game—or totally lose it? 👇

Companies are turning everyday tasks into fun challenges — and it’s actually making people happier and more productive.

Gamification isn’t just for kids anymore — it’s for grown-ups who forgot that play fuels performance.

👉 Two coworkers get a funny prompt (like “draw Monday morning” or “our boss as a superhero”).
👉 They have 60 seconds to doodle.
👉 The team votes for the winner.

The catch? You don’t need to be an artist—in fact, the messier the drawing, the funnier it gets. 😂

Quick laughs. Fresh creativity. Instant team bonding.

Would your office survive a Doodle Duel? 👇

📸 That’s not your childhood toy wagon — that’s a giant Radio Flyer!

Stress can feel the same way. What starts out small can suddenly look HUGE when you’re standing right in front of it.

💡 Tip: Shift your perspective. A problem isn’t always as big as it seems. And sometimes, the best way to shrink stress is with laughter, play, and connection.

Remember: even the biggest wagon is still meant for fun. 😉

If your team only laughs when the Wi-Fi crashes, you’ve got a problem. 💻😂

Humor doesn’t have to be forced. Try a 2-minutewatch comedy break” in meetings. It’s cheaper than therapy, and no espresso machine is required.

👉What’s your team’s secret to keeping things light at work?
