What if one joke — sent on a Friday morning — could remind someone they matter? What if three words from a stage could stop someone from ending their life? Greg Kettner has seen both happen. In this episode of Humor in the C Suite, Kate Davis sits down with her old comedy circuit friend turned keynote speaker to explore the unexpected intersection of humor and mental health — and why the leaders who get this right are the ones their teams never forget.Greg's Advice for LeadersStart small and start safe. If you're nervous about using humor with your team, test it at home first — with your partner, your kids, your friends. Look to late night TV for clean material that's already been vetted. Send a funny Friday email. Share a meme. You don't have to be a comedian to show you have a sense of humor. And when it comes to mental health specifically: ask the question twice. "How are you doing?" gets you the polite answer. "How are you really doing? I've got time" — that's where the real conversation starts. That's where trust is built. That's where leaders earn the loyalty that no bonus structure can buy.Additional Links & Resources:Interested in being a guest on Humor in the C-Suite?
