- Case studies and stories from KPMG, Boeing, Microsoft, Virgin, Southwest Airlines and many other organizations where levity has moved the needle
- Proven tips, tools, and ideas on how to lighten up a workplace NOW
This presentation is a high level look at all aspects of the levity effect, including:
- The business relevance of humor and fun
- Energizing fun at work
- Building trust
- Creating dynamic presentations
- Holding more effective meetings
- Enhancing creativity
- Levity for home and life
People People: Learning to Put "People First" and Why You Should Even Care
In an increasingly competitive business climate, People People provide more tangible value to a company than ever before.
Why? As constantly-improving technology dehumanizes relationships and communications–allowing ‘users’ to hide behind their e-personas–People People lift their organizations above the competition by refusing to lose touch with humanity.
- They prefer a phone call over text.
- A face-to-face chat over an email.
- A handshake over a ‘poke’ or ‘nudge.’
Most of today’s ‘best’ companies rely heavily on the human touch to help differentiate their market brand, their public image and their employee culture.
In People People, best-selling author and speaker Scott Christopher (The Levity Effect) explains the four fundamental attributes (C.A.R.E.™) of People People, how to become a true Type III People Person, why ‘People First’ organizations excel, and how to do it.
Sharing a mix of business cases, research data and compelling stories, Scott builds a convincing case that winning organizations are flush with People People and that ‘nice guys’ really do finish first: People People are healthier, wealthier, happier and live longer than their less-caring cohorts. The simple truth is that being a People Person is less about being good WITH people, as being good TO people.
