"When I met with HarperCollins leadership I could see the approach they were taking and remembered years ago when John Cleese of Monty Python told me how much fun he had adding his own character to corporate training videos," said Dennis Miller. "Humor opens people's minds to learn more and retain information but most corporate training videos are flat – just informational with no personality. I had a blast taking great, valuable content and adding humor and entertainment to it."
