Humorist and corporate culture expert Scott Christopher debunks the myth that levity is somehow a frivolous non-issue and detrimental to an organization’s success. In a lively and hilarious speech, Christopher establishes the case for levity leadership using:
This presentation is a high-level look at all aspects of the levity effect, including:
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.
The realization of safety initiatives, as with any workplace goal, is in the hands of leaders. Poor safety compliance, like poor performance, is merely a symptom of poor leadership and culture. So, how do leaders at any level INSPIRE safety? How do they COMMUNICATE safety? How do they deliberately mold a workplace where people CARE about safety, or anything else, for that matter? It’s called The Levity Effect and it’s not just about throwing parties and riffing with jokes (although a ‘sense’ of humor is an absolute must.) It’s more about lightening up. Levity is defined by three umbrella concepts: latitude, attitude, and gratitude. Things like trust, respect, accountability, communication, recognition, and teamwork all contribute to creating a work culture where people actually care about and carry out goals, strategies, and initiatives — like safety.

Got carrot-phobia? Do you think that recognizing your employees will distract you and your team from more serious business, create jealousy, or make you look soft? Think again.
The Daily Carrot Principle shows that the relationship between recognition and improved business results is highly predictable — it’s proven to work. But it’s not the employee recognition some of us have been using for years. It is recognition done right, recognition that affects people on a regular basis.
There is more to effective recognition than just gathering at annual luncheons to read names and hand out lapel pins. While service anniversary awards-when presented properly-play an important role in employee retention and engagement, it’s the day-to-day “carrots” that foster trust, respect, and long-term loyalty. This session explores ways managers can use formal and informal recognition to drive company initiatives and connect employees to core values. Tips for effective presentations are also shared.
Attendees will learn:
– how recognition plays a part in retention and engagement
– how to define and implement informal recognition
– the benefits of day-to-day recognition
– the difference between praising effort and rewarding results
– carrots over cash
– how to effectively present recognition
Can a manager be familiar and friendly with employees and still have their respect? Learn how carrots can bridge that gap. Bottom-line results and real-world case studies are presented.

In another compelling and hilarious keynote presentation, Scott Christopher reveals the keys to customer service that cement brand loyalty. The basic principles revealed in The Levity Effect and People People are the foundation of the program.
Levity and ‘people’ skills are getting rarer and rarer as technology takes over even some of the most fundamental of human interactions with face to face business transactions being hit hardest. While ‘gen Ys’ and ‘milennials’ may be more cause-driven and altruistic than the elder generations, ironically they are terrible ‘with people.’ Their innate tech-savviness has sapped most of them of whatever people skills they probably once possessed.
The Whys, Whats, and Hows of the ‘soft side’ of customer service are presented. Inspiring loyalty among clients begins with doing the same thing among peers.
Wit and Wisdom presented in a high-energy, compelling keynote.
