Kyle, Humor That Works’ camera and editing expert, put together a great recap video of the September Relationship Training at OSU. You can get an idea of what we covered at the school, structured in the Theory -> Practice -> Application format.

Update: I received the feedback from the training and here are some things RAs had to say:

  • “Humor that works was absolutely fabulous! I really appreciated the approach the guys talked about.”
  • “The dialogue / humor that works presentation was fun and gave me a lot of great ideas.”
  • “The most helpful was the interaction we had with Drew and the humor talk.”

An interesting perspective on comedy from Ricky Gervais. I think one of his best points is that comedy is about empathy and that we tend to laugh with the people that we like (and also tend to like the people with whom we laugh).

New York, NY – When one of the section managers at my job was tasked with coming with a way to present technical training and awareness in an engaging way, he asked for my assistance.

After understanding the requirements and possibilities, we came up with a series of one-minute videos that showcased a specific tool and was presented through the equity of our New York location. The videos, named New York Minute, are hosted by a variety of New York characters such as Brooklyn Tony (yours truly), and are presented in a light-hearted yet informative way.

The first wave of videos were so well-received that there is now talks of doing a global competition for similar training videos.
