Jack Canfield Co-Author of Chicken Soup for the Soul Your presentation on Humor in the Workplace was a resounding success! We have NEVER had a speaker who was SO entertaining and was able to elicit such uncontrolable laughter from the audience. You left us with a refreshing and upbeat tone, which is exacctly what we needed after one and a half days fo workshops. Thanks for a super program. Anthony F. Panelblanco Director of Human Resources SUNY Institute of Technology At a time when students are told to crack down on thier studies and committments, it is nice to encourage them to crack up and not take life so seriously.

These comments came from an audience of well-known speakers giving presentations on works of tremendous importance.
