Change | Education | Motivation | Sales | Stress Management | Teamwork | Master of Ceremonies Whether you want a dynamic message or pure entertainment, Nick Arnette’s programs transform and energize audiences with motivation and humor! His unique, tailored presentations show us ways to find humor in our everyday lives, at home or at work. “Laughing is good for us,” he says, “It increases productivity, brings people together and helps us deal with our problems. A sense of humor is no longer a desired trait in the business world — it is a required trait!” Mr. Arnette’s background includes sales, the hospitality industry, education, and award-winning work in mortgage banking. His clients include AT&T, GTE, Sheraton, Motorola, Unilever, Quaker Oats, National Management Association, Institute of Canadian Bankers, and Society of Government Meeting Planners. Smile and the world smiles with you, laugh and you'll perform your job a lot better, says humor expert Nick Arnette. American business could reduce the costs of stress and burnout and increase productivity by simply encouraging humor in the office. He points out that a good laugh has many benefits. “It has many physical benefits such as reducing pain,” he says. “It's also a pleasant way of identifying and solving problems.” A touring comedian, speaker and comedy writer, Mr. Arnette has worked with such comedy greats as Jay Leno, Jerry Seinfeld, and Roseanne Barr. In his humor workshops, he teaches techniques professional comedians use to find something funny in everyday events. This helps people add levity to their working environment. He says, “At the very least, well-placed humor in the office will make work more fun, which can increase productivity and lower absenteeism.” He believes if we can laugh about it, we can talk about it and humor is the cheapest and easiest way to feel better and to solve problems. Nick Arnette says high-risk humor such as dirty, put-down, ethnic, sexist, or sarcastic jokes are inappropriate. The best idea is to let something help you be funny. Clipping cartoons or funny articles and circulating them would be good examples of appropriate low-risk office humor. He adds that a little humor goes a long way. Someone who goes too far will be seen to laugh everything off. Mr. Arnette says, “The people who need to use humor most, such as management, are the ones who tend to avoid it. If the boss laughs, everyone laughs. It gives workers permission to have fun once in awhile, along with the message that everything is under control.” Nick Arnette’s advice is based on both his experiences as a national touring comedian and in the business world, where he has sales experience in various industries. He is also the author of a popular joke book and a major contributor to two others.
