Karyn Buxman

See our Keynote speaker, Karyn Buxman, deliver "Lead with Levity: Strategic Humor for Successful Leaders."
Successful people – in business, politics and life in general – have something in common: they understand that levity is an important trait for effective leaders. Churchill, Kennedy and Reagan were all masters at using wit on the world stage; the characters in M*A*S*H used gallows humor to retain their sanity amid horrendous conditions; and your audience can learn how to use humor effectively in their daily work lives. Properly used, levity is a dynamic strategy that enhances communication, strengthens resilience, and increases engagement. Karyn uses (hysterical) anecdotes, (solid) research and (practical) tips to help your audience leverage levity in the service of better leadership.

This program provides leaders at every level with the skills to harness humor so that you – and those you lead – can build resilience, enhance communication and boost engagement. Lessons include how to utilize humor even if you’re not funny; how to use humor to inspire and motivate; how humor can enhance creativity; and how to keep humor from blowing-up in your face. When humor occurs by chance it’s entertainment. But when you use humor by choice you get results. Now you’re harnessing an amazingly powerful tool that will help your people experience more success, significance and happiness.
