Attend the Association of Applied and Therapeutic Humor Conference

Do you like the idea of using humor at work? I absolutely have to for my job! I can amuse myself whether I’m in my office or out on the road. Humor is all around me. If you like the challenge of how to use humor to cope with problems at work, home or even teenagers, you just might have to attend the AATH Conference in Phoenix/Mesa, Arizona next April 7-10, 2016.

I am so happy that we had Brenda come and talk with us! I have received nothing but positive feedback from everyone that attended! They enjoyed her humor, her being “real” and relating to us all and so many needed a good laugh with life’s “busyness!”

Brenda Elsagher in five words; Sensational, Realistic, Eloquent, Graceful and Giving.

Brenda’s speech filled us with hope and plenty of laughter. More than a comedian, she's an educator and writer who deeply believes in helping people with the best medicine around. . . laughter.

"Hearing Brenda speak at a nursing conference left our colleagues in stitches. She delivers a heartfelt presentation that can lighten the room, yet deliver a powerful message for caregivers as she encourages them to use humor with compassion. We knew she would be a hit at our annual oncology symposium, yet were amazed at the impact she had on the attendees! "
