Relieving Work Related Stress with Humour

Stress is a major cause of most illnesses, and humour is an amazing way to relieve it. Harvard studies show that when you are stressed, your brain shrinks. However, when you laugh, you relax; and when you relax, you learn. This hilarious and inspirational session explores seven stress-relieving ingredients: a positive attitude, perseverance, forgiveness, teamwork, family and friends, mental activity and physical activity.

 

Taming Hecklers: Dealing with Difficult People

In showbiz, a heckler is a person in the audience who disrupts the show.

In business, a heckler is the person who disrupts the flow.

The strategies that Judy has developed as a performer in dealing with hecklers also work in an office environment. These strategies:

  • improve productivity
  • decrease bullying and absenteeism
  • lower your stress levels
  • make everyone LAUGH more
