An American angle on team culture and engagement this time in our conversation with funny, motivational keynote speaker Brad Montgomery.Brad helps leaders, managers and their teams improve their bottom line by improving individual and organisational happiness.  In fact he has trademarked "Laugh-o-nomics" one of his presentation packages delivered to Microsoft, the CIA and Lockheed to name just a few.One of only around 180 living inductees of the CPAE Hall of Fame (alongside such luminaries as Zig Ziglar, Ken Blanchard and Jack Canfield),  Brad describes the accolade as " like winning an Oscar or the Indianapolis 500, only without the movie stars or the gas fumes.”After 25+ years of live speaking Brad has now successfully adapted his offering to the virtual world.  In our interview he talks about how he's taking advantage of remote delivery rather than dwelling on the missing aspects from a live event.Brad Montgomery and Raising the Baa both have non-traditional approaches to team building with the common denominator of humour. Sheep always bring a smile to people's faces and we hear a lot of laughter during our events, as does Brad.  We discuss how humour can really help connect with an audience - all the more so now that the 'spectators' are remote from each other too.Our conversation culminates in our speculating on the reasons for corporate teams gathering together again, once it's safe to do so, which may be very different to those prior to 2020.  We'd love to know if your thoughts on this - please let us know either in a review note or by emailing caroline@raisingthebaa.com.Enjoy this episode - and thank ewe for listening :-)Free Resources:Lockdown Pep Talk video: "It's hard...but you've got this!" from Brad's YouTube channelSheep, Shepherd or Dog - which one are ewe?

“I look up to you because you are older and wiser! You have so much wisdom.” Ok! God, I feel old now. Or you could say, “Wow what a compliment!” Depending on perspective, some of us guys take that as a kick in the gut, and others of us take it as a badge of honor and respect. My buddy and fellow professional speaker, Brad Montgomery, throw down about the battle of aging and being seen as older wiser, and even not having all the answers! About BradLike you, happiness expert, speaker and author Brad Montgomery believes: • Happiness Pays. • It makes business-sense to invest in the “people-side” of business. • Speakers should be engaging AND have a useful message. Brad combines all of these ideas — and a ton more — into everything he does on stage. He’s a very funny guy with some very relevant ideas about how to improve ourselves and those people around us. And…he’s funny. (Yeah, we said this twice.) He’s a … • Business Owner • Author • Blogger • Idea guy But he’s also one of the funniest business speakers out there. His keynotes and “Expanded Keynotes” (which is a fancy way to say “Longer keynotes that include some experiential, hands-on learning experiences” … which is a fancy way to say “Audience Participation On Steroids That Helps People Remember and Learn”) use an out-of-the-box blend of humor, wisdom, audience participation, music, and even confetti in order to keep the learning on high. He believes: • Motivational speakers should deliver tactics we remember and implement. • The era of “canned” speakers is over. • Your organization craves a speaker who can connect, who can have a conversation, and who can be relevant. They crave somebody who is authentic. Somebody who is funny.

Todays guest is a man who likes nothing more than having a laugh in both his personal and business life. Throw into the mix his love of inspiring people, communicating at a high level, and leaving a lasting impression on everyone that he meets and you get the flavour of what he is all about. Starting his career in the form of corporate entertainment, he would wow the crowds across America and on the huge cruise ships, with humorous commentary and magic tricks. He knew that he could be funny and entertain, but could he combine the fun with the message? Could he strengthen his proposition by tackling the issues that business struggle with, all the time still keeping to his authentic self. Well he has done just that by starting "Laugh-O-Nomics"....yep that's a proper word, and now speaks on a range of subjects, but loves nothing more to discuss happiness at work. As he says "Happy people have, on average, 31% higher productivity; their sales are 37% higher; their creativity is three times higher.” and companies are missing a trick. They haven't quite grasped the fact that people having a good time, keeping moral at a high level, and working hard is the best thing that every company can have on their premises. The days of setting huge targets and cracking the whip to ensure that it all gets done should hopefully now be a thing of the past? So does he find that the hardest people to bring round to his hugely valuable message are the middle managers of the world? And when did he realise that all his talents had come together to take him into the motivational speaking world and flourish whilst he is there? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only Brad Montgomery.

Brad Montgomery (@BradMontgomery on twitter) chats about happiness with host Craig Price. Happiness can be the Holy Grail for many people, elusive, just out of reach or more commonly, something that happens intermittently for short periods of time. But what if you had control over your happiness? That's what Brad proposes to a skeptical Craig. The two talk about the flaws in The Secret (or outright lies if you ask Craig) how you can take unhappy conditions and fine tune them so you can be happier, how to gradually get incrementally happier versus trying to drastically change overnight as well as discover that they are just two short balding guys talking about the same things from different perspectives. The more things seem different the more they are closer to the same. It seems super positive and negative people can get along! Everybody sing Kumbaya!
