Do you agree that “Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.”?
Most people seem to feel this statement is true. Intuitively, we sense that happiness comes from the inside.
Jim is fascinated by the transformational power of laughter and the way that Laughter changes everything; for both individuals and organizations. When we laugh, our brain chemistry changes and we become our best selves in every way; both our personal and organizational health improves.
Jim has a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology, is a licensed therapist, and has worked in the human potential field and with a variety of individuals and organizations for many years. He is convinced that the unique benefits of laughter are at the cutting edge of the transformational changes we all know the world needs.
Jim’s work incorporates current breakthrough research on the effects of laughter; how it affects brain chemistry, group dynamics, and individual health. Above all, his work centers on addressing methods that are truly effective in transforming struggle into joy.
Be clear! Jim is not suggesting that we stick our heads in the sand and pretend we don’t have problems, serious problems, to deal with. What he is saying is that we’ll deal with those problems a whole lot better when we’re energized, realistic, optimistic, and clear-headed. Laughter gets us to these states of being faster than anything else and it is optimistic, energetic people that accomplish the most.
Jim offers Keynote Addresses and Workshops that show clients how laughter and the attitudes that go with laughter can help solve their problems. Usually clients have a particular area they want to focus on: individual health, teamwork, stress reduction, customer service, and creativity are some examples. Sometimes they just want a unique ice-breaker, or an after-dinner presentation that’s entertaining yet inspirational.
