Episode 173: Finding the Funny: Why Humour Matters in Life and Business

In a world that takes itself a little too seriously, this episode dives into the power of humour — not just as a personality trait, but as a strategy for living and leading. We explore how laughter builds connection, breaks tension, fuels creativity, and keeps you grounded when life or business feels heavy. Whether you’re navigating tough conversations, building a brand, working with clients, or just trying to make it through the day without losing your mind, humour can be the secret ingredient that shifts everything. Join us as we unpack why lightness isn’t unprofessional — it’s essential. Because when you can laugh, you can learn. When you can laugh, you can lead. And when you can laugh, you can handle just about anything.   JOIN OUR FREE NEWSLETTER FOR HORSE LOVERS & HORSE BUSINESS OWNERS // equineconnection.ca/newsletter CHECK OUT OUR WEBSITE TO START YOUR HORSE DREAM CAREER // www.equineconnection.ca JOIN OUR *NEWEST* MEMBERSHIP FOR EQUINE ASSISTED BUSINESSES // https://ec.equineconnection.ca/thh-waitlist WHAT TO WATCH NEXT: Learn More About This Life-Changing Career With Horses Helping People: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kbTiDbWOEk Why Do We Work With Horses: https://youtu.be/1hRVYduzh7A What Does an Equine Assisted Learning Program Look Like: https://youtu.be/06LMtutwL-4 Here's Our Thank You to ALL Horses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNHDNhXFtL4&t=1s How to Get Certified Working With Horses to Help People In Your Community: https://youtu.be/Zlv2sEkby0Y Frequently Asked Questions About Our Horse Certification Course: https://youtu.be/OzrTQVCI0-w Watch This Case Study of "The Best Equine Assisted Learning Course I've Ever Taken!": https://youtu.be/_LmgXSuAbSg TRAINING: If you're looking to get certified in Equine Assisted Learning AND get business training with support for life, Equine Connection might be the right fit for you!
