TITLE: Stress Reduction:  Laughing Your Way Out of Stress—Turning Problems into Punch lines

Life and work are stressful - overwhelming deadlines, stacks of paperwork, and communication breakdowns. Judy illustrates the power of humor and teaches how to turn problems into punch lines, resolve conflict, and come up with snappy retorts that transform conflict into camaraderie so everyone will walk away with tools that they can use immediately. Her "Don't get mad, get funny" philosophy inspires people to deal with issues such as stupidity, toxic relationships, and broken dreams with a sense of humor, rather than a sense of desperation.
