Humor is a great way to break the ice in professional settings, whether you’re meeting someone new or just trying to lighten the mood. But where’s the line between “funny” and “having a meeting with HR?” Don’t be discouraged, we’re here to help!

Join us to learn about how to use humor for good while bringing delight to your coworkers!
