“Being able to laugh at yourself is a sign of authenticity – the best foundation for innovation. And nobody embodies that better than Rob Spence himself.”
MAKE WORK
MORE HUMAN.
Humor at work isn't a distraction from performance. It's one of the fastest ways to improve it.
GREAT CULTURES DON't HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT.
«We’re not changing processes; we’re establishing the right conditions where diverse individuals can connect, innovate and become more authentic.»
— Rob Spence
What if your most powerful business tool is hiding in plain sight?
Better communication, stronger collaboration, sharper thinking and more engaged teams. Humor can help unlock all of it.
After 40 years as a professional comedian, Rob Spence knows how humor can shift perspectives and change the way people interact. Today, he brings that experience into the workplace, helping leaders and teams turn humor into a practical resource for better performance.
Humor strengthens the skills great teams depend on: observation, perspective, listening, timing and the courage to speak up.
Every business faces challenges. People navigate them better when they trust each other, communicate openly and enjoy working together. Humor can help create the conditions for that to happen.
When humor becomes a skill rather than a personality trait, people stop waiting for a better culture and start creating one themselves.
That’s how we make work more human.
ONE SKILL. COUNTLESS BENEFITS.
Through our keynotes, workshops and Extended Advantage Packages, Rob shares the practical techniques used by great comedians and communicators, showing teams how to apply them in business to build trust, strengthen connections and collaborate more effectively. Participants learn to think creatively, speak up with confidence, embrace different perspectives, give constructive feedback and navigate challenges with greater resilience.
Humor isn’t just a bonus, it’s an advantage, and it’s a skill we can all improve.
WHAT WE OFFer
From keynotes and interactive workshops to extended programmes, the Rob Spence Method offers multiple ways to bring humor into the workplace.
Whether you’re planning an event, looking to strengthen team dynamics or working towards lasting cultural change, we’ll help you find the right format or workshop to achieve your goals.
Experiences are available in English, German and French. Based in Switzerland, Rob works with organisations around the world.
What you'll TAKE AWAY
Humour won’t solve every problem. But it can change how we deal with them.
Our sessions aren’t comedy shows, nor are they designed to turn participants into comedians. They’re engaging, evidence-based workshops that use fun theatrical and creative exercises to create positive new habits and strengthen team performance.
Participants leave with practical tools to think more creatively, navigate conflict, build trust and speak up when it matters, even in rooms where they once felt intimidated.
“The workshop was a successful combination of theory and practice and created a dynamic, creative and constructive atmosphere.”

94%

OUR MISSION
TO empower people to take control of their own happiness
We believe humor is more than entertainment. It’s a resource that we can train and apply consciously.
Our mission is to establish humor as a recognised discipline in leadership and organisational development. Through research, education, certification and strategic partnerships, we’re developing the Rob Spence Method to help individuals and organisations put humor into practice and create lasting change beyond a single workshop.
Workplace culture is shaped by how we communicate, how we respond to challenges and how we make others feel. While we can’t control everything around us, we can learn to influence our own moods and the atmosphere we create for those around us.
A more human workplace doesn’t happen by chance. It’s built by people who understand the influence they have and choose to make a positive difference.
When we make work more human, we make more room for meaningful work and better lives.
