For every 1 percent increase in emotional climate in an organization, there is a 2 percent increase in revenue. Managers, employees, teachers, and salespeople who have strong people skills, and a playful spirit, are more productive, make better decisions, solve problems more quickly, are more flexible, and are more creative. Happy employees provide superior customer service, creating loyal customers who refer their friends. One of the most effective, and least expensive, ways to increase morale and revenue is to train your workforce to use humor to Lead like M.A.D.--like a Mood.Altering.Drug.

TESTIMONIALS

"Dr. Rod Rogers pleased all the attendees at our Women's Symposium with his outstanding humor. He left us laughing and inspired to use humor in our everyday experiences. His teaching was so practical that our women were able to return to their workplaces and put it to immediate use. Rod Rogers is an upbeat person with a great story to share, and I really think that there is a reason he is here to share his story and message with others. Thank you for leaving the women attendees in our community with extra laughter in their life and may all your audiences have the same wonderful experience that Emporia had." Jessica Leeds, Public Relations Coordinator, Emporia, KS, Area Chamber & Visitors Bureau

"Rod gave an excellent after-dinner speech for our annual Chamber banquet this year. He was very humorous and we laughed a lot. Everybody loved Rod and wished he could have talked longer than the thirty minutes we gave him. The lessons he taught us about using humor in leadership were exactly what we needed to hear--he hit the nail right on the head. I appreciate the fact that Rod is a people person. He definitely did his homework before the event to get to know our community. We are hoping to bring him back soon to teach a longer, more in-depth, leadership course." Wendy King-Luttman,  Past Chairperson, Junction City, KS, Chamber of Commerce

"We started our New Year off right when we asked Dr. Rod Rogers to be the Key Note Speaker at our Client Appreciation Party in January.  The Real Estate Industry, of late, can be compared to Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride without the laughter.  When we were researching speakers, we were looking for someone to not only be motivational but to add levity. Dr. Rod lived up to the bill and delivered more.  Our more than 200 guests were fully entertained and fully energized after his talk.  They are still talking about the event and how much fun it was.  He made them laugh, but more importantly he left them with a positive attitude. Thanks, Rod!" Cheryl Talley, Owner, America Title Services, Denver, CO

"Rod is energetic, organized, caring, and easy to talk to. To our delight, our people received Rod very well. He captivated our audience with his teaching and his sense of humor. Because he is such an excellent and informative presenter, our leadership not only learned a lot, but were also able to make a correlation between what he said and how to practically apply it in our organization. Rod's coaching and follow-through were excellent. He exceeded our expectations of deliverability." Yvonne Meurksen, Chairperson, Stewardship Committee, CFCOG, Chicago, IL

“As a small business owner, I am immersed in the topics of sales and marketing. I know very few people who have the education, instinct, drive, and experience that Rod has in these areas. He's also bold while being realistic. Rod is one of the funniest people I've ever known. And, to top it all off, He's an absolute pleasure to work with. I endorse Rod wholeheartedly.” Andrea Howe, President and Founder, BossaNova Consulting Group, Inc., Washington, D.C.
