Humor at Work
Humor is no joke when it comes to the bottom line. Stress costs American companies $300 billion a year. This is no laughing matter. In most companies, a dizzying pace, increasing demands and constant change are the status quo. But humans are not wired to withstand so much pressure. Eighty percent of workers are stressed out; fifty percent say they need help managing stress. Companies need to act quickly to deal with escalating health care issues, dwindling productivity, and increasing employee retention costs.Protect your staff with the skills they need for coping with stress. This is a delightfully different program that offers insights and techniques for using positive humor as a buffer to the pressures of life. Laughter truly is good medicine! It's Your Life, Choose Well: Living Life by Design More people live by default than by design. Good choices are the foundation of living a happier, healthier, saner life. But most people get so bogged down in the endless details of everyday life that they never stop to think about the choices they are making-and the costly results. Life can be a pleasure and much more satisfying when you consciously choose well. This presentation is based on Kathleen Passanisi's book by the same title. It is grounded in good science and designed to get results. Participants will learn how deliberate choice improve physical health and strengthen mental health through focused vision. A Seat at the Buffet: Challenging Life's Unwritten Rules "Face reality." "Be yourself." "Stick to your guns." "You have to learn the hard way." Oh yeah? Says who? We were taught to live by the rules--but whose rules? Where did the rules come from? And why have we never questioned them? It is time we examine them because they hold us back, dampen our enthusiasm, and stifle our creativity. Do away with false assumptions, worthless expressions, and robotic behaviors that limit joy and keep you from realizing success on your own terms.This is a presentation designed to shed light on unconscious beliefs and habits that restrict living life to the fullest. Participants will learn to uncover hidden rules and false perceptions and break self-imposed habits that limit success and happiness. An insightful, eye-opening program perfect for those who want to break free from a life that is dull, uninspired or off-track. Managing Change by Changing Your Tune: Orchestrating Success Survival requires the ability to embrace change - for businesses and individuals. We live in a time of unprecedented change. All of us have to deal with it. Most dread it. Many resist it. This poses big problems for businesses facing stiff competition in a global economy, rapidly advancing technology, and a shrinking workforce. On the home front, workers may be coping with health, financial or relationship issues. In spite of so much change, few know how to handle it, much less make the most of it. Change is filled with possibilities if you have the right perspective. A high-energy, upbeat program designed to help people not only face, but embrace, change. Using music as a metaphor for self-talk, Kathleen Passanisi leads participants through an entertaining process of identifying their deepest feelings about change. |
