Keynote Address: The Power of Laughter
by Carla Rieger
At the height of laughter the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities. – Jean Huston
The organization that plays together stays together. If overwhelming challenges have worn people down, this might be just what you need. Even if the work you do is serious, a lighthearted approach in the helping professions can make a big difference. Constructive, uplifting fun at work can actually make everything work more efficiently. Contrary to popular belief a skill like this can be taught and built upon. Discover some of the latest tools in “humor” relations such as how to:
* build rapport instantly
* manage stress and improve attitude
* enhance daily enjoyment of work
* increase overall health and energy levels
* enhance productivity & engagement on the job
Experience the joy of laughing together – a celebration of people and life!
