• “…a unique workshop that will help you see yourself in a totally different way…you’ll feel better than you’ve felt in a long time!”

Most of us misunderstand the nature of humor and laughter.  Most people consider humor a ‘stand-up comedy’ routine of life.  Unlike comedy, which makes fun of people or things, however, humor finds laughter in the common life experiences we all share.

This warm and wonderful workshop helps participants take a look at their lives, attitudes and feelings and find places to “lighten up” and take a different look at their humanness.

LIGHTEN UP is based on a set of assumptions abut laughter and  mental health:

• Laughter creates a positive mental attitude;

• Laughter is necessary for physical, emotional and mental health;

• Laughter helps us reduce stress by teaching us ‘not to sweat the small stuff”;

• People learn better when they are laughing;

• An organization that laughs together, stays together and produces a better product!

• A school that laughs together, learns more; students even like coming to school!

• A family that laughs together isn’t destroyed by family plagues – like adolescence!

This is an excellent presentation for business, school or community groups.  It can be presented as a keynote address or can be extended into an all day or multi-day workshop/training session.
