Paul Osincup is a keynote speaker, corporate trainer, comedian, author of the best-selling book: The Humor Habit.  Paul’s global mission for workplace happiness has provided him the opportunity to work with hundreds of organizations including Google, Discover, The U.S. Airforce, and the Harvard Kennedy School of Leadership. He’s a content creator for the digital health app Happify, and a certified Stress Mastery Educator with the American Institute of Stress.

  • Paul is also the Past President of the Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor, an international organization dedicated to the study and application of humor to enhance health and human performance. Paul’s work has been highlighted on the Today Show, in The New York Times, and on his mom’s refrigerator.

    Delivering a rare blend of inspiring content and side-splitting humor, Paul combines his experience as a stand-up and improv comic with his nerdy love for the science of happiness, applied humor, and positive psychology to inspire, entertain, and provide audiences with evidence-based actionable strategies to rewire their brains to see the lighter side of life more often.

Speaking Topics

  • People who use humor to cope with stress are more optimistic, resilient, and report greater job and overall life satisfaction. In this hilarious and uplifting flagship keynote, inspired by his bestselling book The Humor Habit, Paul delivers evidence-based tools that audience members can implement to harness the power of humor, reignite their spark, and learn to balance the gravity of life, with the levity of it.

  • Happy people create happy customers, which lead to a more profitable business. (Also, unhappy people just aren’t as much fun to work with). In this high-energy and inspiring talk, Paul provides strategies anyone (even the chronically skeptic) can use to boost their personal happiness setpoint - and that managers can use to create happier cultures.

  • Leaders with a sense of humor are not only seen as more competent and more motivating, but their teams have higher levels of job satisfaction, work performance, and engagement. This funny & contentrich keynote not only provides the foundation of WHY humor is such an effective leadership skill, but also HOW to authentically incorporate more humor into your leadership style.
