How do you defuse a tense situation? Have you ever thought about using humor? In this podcast I will be explaining how to add humor to intense moments to break the tension. Yes, it can be fun!

LISTEN HERE

Ever feel like “the enemy” is coming after you and you don’t know what to do?
Try using a little humor next time!

  1. You will avoid power struggles
  2. You won’t look like a fool in public
  3. It’ll diffuse the situation
  4. You’ll find that the emotional load is lightened

Here’s an example: your 11 year old says you’re stupid. You say, “Wow! You are the third person to tell me that today!”
What do you think that kid has to say to you now?

Remember: every moment does not have to be serious! Practice letting your hair down, and see how it diffuses those tense situations!
