The Psychology of Laughter in Business
People often ask me what my greatest strength is as a Funny Motivational Business Speaker. The answer of course is my ability to engage the audience with laughter. No matter what group I’m speaking to or what program I’m giving, I always start off with 5 to 10 minutes of non-stop comedy. Why? Because nothing […]
Hope was Her Companion, Humor Was Her Shield
One morning some time ago, I was on a flight from New York to Nashville. Standing in the row adjacent to mine was an attractive woman wearing sunglasses. She was talking to two distinguished looking men who (as I overheard from their conversation) were from MCA Records. I didn’t know exactly what they were talking […]

I saw a road sign recently that made me smile: “Don’t wait for the storms of your life to pass. Learn to dance in the rain.” Read that again. That statement is a touchstone for living a happier life. “Dancing in the rain” is an attitude that truly happy and successful people live by and […]
