My guest today is Dave Caperton. Dave is an author, speaker and thought leader on ways that joy drives success.Dave uses humor to teach corporations, associations, individuals, and groups how living and working with intentional joy is an act of leadership and a disciplined will. He has 20 years of real-world experience speaking, coaching, and writing about the benefits of a joyful mindset in a business context, including how to unleash creativity, improve health, increase engagement, supercharge learning, and provide legendary service and care while reducing stress and conflict. As a veteran educator, performance consultant, comedian, and comedy writer, Dave fuses entertaining stories, in-depth research, and proven learning strategies to provide conversations about joy to celebrate success, solve people's problems, and build a bridge between where you are now and where you want to be.Dave came out of education. He was a teacher, and grew up with a family of teachers, teaching high school English. He did that for 11 years, and then he got into stand-up comedy. That led me to an opportunity to be a weekly radio guest in Columbus on a local FM station. And from there, he met a motivational speaker, Phil Sorrentino, who got him started down the path of combining humor and development.To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: petermargaritis.comResources:Learn more at: davecaperton.comRead: Happiness is a Funny Thing by Dave CapertonFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/dave.capertonTwitter: http://twitter.com/speakofjoyLinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/davecapertonChange Your Mindset is a production of Crate MediaLearn more about your ad choices.
