This is my Quest
I am passionate in my quest to find
and promote humor research, while sharing resources, so that individuals
and organizations may increase their
joy, decrease their stress and become more productive. My special interest is to search for the links between learning, humor and fun.
My travels have revealed countless professionals who want to be happy, but who are often personally stressed and anxious.
The challenge is to change negative thinking and replace it with humergy (my term for the energy that comes from a positive sense of humor).
My workshops include information about current brain research and a facilitation process designed to encourage individuals to review their humor style and improve their humor practice. The process works much like improving ones physical fitness lifestyle; in that there is an evaluation of current practice followed by goal setting. Fun and laughter are always a part of the celebration of stress reduction and the adopting of a more positive lifestyle.
I want to include you on the journey by using this site to:
Share Research
Provide Programs
Review Resources
Promote Networking
I must admit that I often feel like a pioneer on this journey, much like Don Quixote experienced as he fought windmills and dreamed the impossible dream.
So I invite you to fight the windmills of stress and negativity and join me for a conversation about learning and positive emotionality.
Email me with your ideas, comments or questions. I would love to hear from you!
