      Teaches the 5 Fingers of  Laughter.  Session includes discussion, written activities and games.

Biography:

I have worked in education as a teacher and consultant for twenty years, always using laughter as a main tool.  My experiences teaching on all levels from elementary through college have shown me that education along with life is too important to take seriously.  After traveling across the country working with teachers and then working in the business community, I have come to understand that we all need to re-learn to laugh.  That is why I developed the Five Fingers of Laughter in order to help us get a hand on their work and life.

My experience as an acclaimed presenter, who has presented to groups from coast to coast, allows me to bring the excitement of the Five Fingers of Laughter to educators and businesses in a dynamic, entertaining forum.  In addition through my company PaperWad Ideas, I am able to help people move beyond the normal ideas of what professional development is and into the world of what can be as we look at life and work in a different, laughter filled way.
