Humor breaks through barriers. It connects people. It smoothes conversational gears. It can bridge management and staff. Humor in the workplace can even be big business. Ask any successful man or woman. They will tell you that a sense of humor is one of the most powerful and persuasive business tools they've got. Funny Works gives professionals a way to productively use humor at work. The book gives one crazy, offbeat reason to come to work for every week of the year.

Companies can retain star employees and enhance their bottom lines by incorporating productive humor into everything from their monthly in-house newsletters to their sales pitches. This book gives advice for CEO's to lighten up their presentations, downsized managers to tap their latent humor and techno-speaking engineers to use plain English to close a deal -- all in the name of making the workplace more humane.

As an extra bonus, the book includes how to have a daily dose of fun off the clock as well, with 52 Ways to Have More Fun in Life.

Funny Works will inspire readers to embrace their professional and personal lives with curiosity, passion and compassion.
