Have you ever thought about the role that humor might play in your organization’s culture - perhaps in how you relate to members of your team - or how you approach member services?
Combining 8 years of comedy with 6 years of public speaking, David Horning is on a mission to help teams transform their cultures to better adapt to a changing world. David believes that humor is a great tool to relieve stress, challenge traditional leadership models, and have fun doing it.
In 2019, he founded Water Cooler Comedy, a company offering corporate comedy shows, keynote presentations, training programs, leadership consulting, and more. He has appeared in comedy festivals and at comedy clubs across the country, and hosts You Can't Laugh At That, a podcast about why it's okay to laugh at, well, anything.
