A review on fun oriented Soft Skills- Humor boosts your credibility: Positive emotions create a Positive Workplace

Hema Krishna, R.

Abstract: 

Soft skills, often called “people skills” or “interpersonal skills,” are non-technical skills that relate to how we work. These traits and qualities determine how you interact with others and how you perform at work. Soft skills in the workplace are necessary for success in relationships, communication, problem-solving, and collaboration. Humor serves as a moderator of the deleterious effects of negative stressful life events. Humor can be very effective in the workplace too, even if you’re not a professional speaker. If you can add humor to your presentations and other communications, you will find your ability to influence others increasing dramatically. No one wants to sit through a dry presentation. But if you can generate some laughter every few minutes, even if the topic is a serious one, you’ll hold your audience’s attention, and people will be more likely to hear (and to care about) what you’re saying. The review of this article is reveals that using humor at work isn’t about writing jokes and being a comedian; it’s another tool you can use to do your job. It’s one of the “soft” skills that include communication, teamwork and creativity.
