How Humor Helps You to Be Taken Seriously

Humor is a good way to make awkward situations less awkward. But when used at work, there has to be a balance between humor, and clowning around. In general, people are drawn towards people who make them laugh. And it can be used in professional environments. And while people can be funny, it doesn’t mean that they’re an extrovert. Sometimes people use humor as a way to mask the fact that they are actually uncomfortable around people.

Key Takeaways:

• Utilize humor as a tool to ease awkward situations and conversations.
• Proceed with caution when using humor as a communication tool in the workplace.
• Being humorous does not always mean that you are an extrovert.
