"The bigger the roles that I got, the more I ended up drawing on what I had learned in improv and standup. Why was no one talking about how valuable humor is as a skill? So I realized maybe I should.” Drew Tarvin is the world's first and only Humor Engineer (not just this podcast's co-host). On a How To Live podcast conversation with co-host Sharad Lal, Drew shares not just his career journey - but practical skills on how humour can amplify leadership and why it's more than just a tool for entertainment. Drew studied engineering at THE Ohio State University, and was hired to P&G for his technical skills where he worked on global roles in his hometowns of Cincinnati and New York City. Yet, it was humour—not engineering—that became his edge in the workplace. By using humour, he diffused tension, built strong relationships, influenced others, and accelerated his career — in fact, he became P&G's first ever - self proclaimed - corporate humorist.  Ultimately this led Drew to make the entrepreneurial leap — founding Humor That Works, a company that has helped 10,000+ leaders in over 100 organisations—including IBM, GE, the FBI, AND P&G —harness humour to lead effectively. His TEDx talk on the skill of humor has been viewed 15MM+ times. You can learn more about Drew's work @ drewtarvin.com. You'll enjoy this candid conversation on how humor can add depth, purpose, and fulfillment to even the most serious work.

“The most important part of humor in the workplace isn't the humor — it's the outcome, which is it's fun. Bracken Darrell is President & CEO of Logitech - where for more than a decade he's been the driver for Logitech's continued growth and profitability. Prior to joining Logitech, Bracken spent a decade in executive roles @ Whirlpool, Braun, and General Electric - and also worked in brand management at P&G. Prior to receiving his MBA from Harvard, Bracken worked at Arthur Anderson and PepsiCo. Bracken's a longtime “Friend of the Pod” - so we wanted to feature another chat he had with our favorite Humor Engineer and Co-host Andrew Tarvin, in one of Drew's ”Humor Talks.” You'll enjoy hearing Bracken share his recognition in the power of humor for creating a fun workplace. Now more than ever, it's important to be able to be your authentic self at work, and for so many people, that includes humor. But Bracken knows that humor at work doesn't have to mean telling jokes (he doesn't think he's a particularly funny person) - he's more in the moment, improvising or reacting quickly to what is said - a great mindset to building humor. This conversation may also stories about Jack Welch, and the naming of a cat in this candid conversation that no surprise, is a fun one.

The combinations of Stand-up Comedy for 15+ Years and Engineering Computer Scientist, Creating Programms and PM Uses Humor to solve problems at the work space Nerd. Yes all of it. Computer, Math, Dr. Who, Star Was & Star Treck Color: An Orange-peel Orange colour. His favourite color since his childhood. A colour research shows that blue is the favourite color (33%) and orange is on the other side. That might be why he likes orange, not being like everyone else. Secret: Plays Spider Solitaire to the extreme. He enjoys the logic problem solving and uses it as a distraction from all the planing and thinking, like a meditation to help him refilling his energy. Creativity: Solving problems Building unique connections from two or more ideas Mostly to express feelings and emotions Some people are great in just starting to draw, write or similar where other need to have a goal. For For Andrew the first sketch, stand up draft, draft of a book is rarely the thing. He knows from the start that he'll iterate from the first idea to the final product. Creativity and Humour: Andrew is using structure to create unique connections and ways to create humour. Through his different improv experiences he learned that “Structure makes it easier to be creative” You could use: The 10 by 10 List, or Comic Triple Other topics we touched: How Dyson found his solution for the vacuum cleaner Paradox of choice Introvert vs. Extrovert (How they think and recharge) Mind-fullness and recharging Being without a Smartphone for 15min and waiting in a line What he has in common with Frank Sinatra The 2 ways to be a Stand-Up comedian How he tests his jokes on different audience His preparation for the Ted Talk, and How using humour at work, life makes you seem more confident Advice: 1. Better beg for forgiveness than ask for permission. This means take ownership. Don't sit around and wait for something to happen. If you want to be funny be it. 2. If someone read a book about your life. Would anyone read it? Would you read it? What makes it a cooler story? This perspective helps to take better decisions. Imagine you tried many things and failed then you have stories to share. Sitting in front of the TV does not make a great story.

You have the ability to shape what you want to do." - Andrew Tarvin "You can be all in while still doing something else, as long as that thing is in service to the main thing." - Andrew Tarvin “Realize that sleeping on a futon when you're 30 is not the worst thing. You know what's worse, sleeping in a king bed next to a wife you're not really in love with but for some reason, you married, and you got a couple of kids, and you got a job you hate. You'll be laying there fantasizing about sleeping on a futon. There's no risk when you go after a dream.

In this episode of The Absolute Advantage, Andrew Tarvin discusses a powerful shift in mentality that can generate positive momentum in the workplace and the direct benefits of integrating humor into your communication.

Tune in to this week’s episode of The Absolute Advantage podcast to learn how you can start implementing strategic humor to make a difference in the workplace.
