Why it matters
Communicating well is not about sounding pleasant but making money - the cost of poor communications is over $60 billion per company per year - and building good relationship with clients
Five types of humour
We show you how humour - specifically five types of humour, practical, effective and easy to learn - can make your communication more persuasive and help you build trust with clients.
Six techniques
But how do you create that right type of humour? It starts with observation; then making a connection. We teach six techniques and give you loads of exercises and role-plays to practise.
Your humour style
Each participant gets to know their dominant humour style, how to develop it further and what watchouts to be aware of.
The result
By the end of the workshop, you will already be funnier than when you started and, importantly, have the knowledge, tools and confidence to keep improving afterwards.

"Brilliant insights"
Thank you Paddy Rangappa and Rahul Phondke for your brilliant insights from the "Humor for Leaders" workshop! Highly recommend this to anyone looking to seriously add humor to their leadership toolbox! 😃
"Unique topic"
One of the most unique topics, but something close to my heart and mind always. Thank you Rahul Phondke and Paddy Rangappa, you were brilliant.
"No jargon, just inspiration"
His communication is not diluted with jargon or buzz words and you always end up smarter (and more inspired) after talking to him. Paddy is also a talented and inspirational keynote speaker - his speaking engagements connect with the audience, effectively deliver messages and he adds just the right amount of humor and levity to any topic he presents. I'd highly recommend Paddy for any speaking engagements!
"Wonderful storytelling"
Paddy truly understands the importance of finding powerful insights that fuel big creative ideas. He understands how fragile ideas are, how to nurture them and inspire people to reach high for them. Paddy is an ideas person, he's walked the talk and been an integral part of teams that have developed breakthrough work. He has a real gift for communication making the most complicated subjects interesting and engaging due to his wonderful storytelling skills. I will always remember attending a big conference where the guest speaker failed to turn up at the 12th hour. Paddy fearlessly and confidently stepped in and had the whole audience captivated and waiting on his every word.
"Speaks our truth"
Paddy is known to be an engaging speaker. He is observant and insightful and can strip away the corporate jargon to reveal what's real and important about consumers and companies. And with his years of experience and exposure to corporations, his words speak the truth we often resist to admit to ourselves.
"A dose of Paddy is a real treat"
He communicates in a simple and humorous tone that leaves a deep impact on the audience and encourages them to embrace new ways of thinking. His stints across multiple organizations and cultures equip him with a vast set of experiences that he draws into to communicate effectively. Working with Paddy and listening to him is always a treat and I'd unhesitatingly recommend a dose of Paddy to anyone looking for new ways of motivating themselves and their teams.
"ROFL stuff"
His tongue perpetually in cheek, he brings wit and situational humor in a droll and charming manner. As my daughters would pithily comment "ROFL stuff"
Questions about this workshop
When you add humour to logic and rationale you persuade much better; and using humour helps build trust. The workshop is about how to do this effectively, regularly.
On the contrary, they’re highly interactive. You can’t become funny by watching a comedian. We share the principles and techniques and make you practise them: in exercises, role plays, case studies.
