Humor and Ethics in the Workplace

Since cave men walked the earth, humor was used to punctuate and to create teaching moments in serious situations. To prove my point, just look back on the writings (and drawings) of the famous historian and cartoonist, Gary Larson.

In 1998 I began my comedy career in Minneapolis at the Stevie Ray's Theatre and Improv Company. I quickly became a performer in their main stage comedy troupe as well as an instructor for their school of improv comedy.

From 1999 to 2003 I toured the mid-west as a stand-up comedian. It was this experience (combined with my prison sentence) that my speaking skills, and topics, developed into what they are today.

Research shows that information is absorbed better when presented in a humorous fashion. With each presentation, my audiences get a feel for the consequences of crossing the line as well as riveting accounts of my experiences. These are serious topics presented with just the right amount of comic relief. They will remember these sessions for the rest of their lives.
