Stress Management, Conflict Resolution and Team Building through Emotional Intelligence X Higher Power Humor

OVERVIEW

In a TNT –Time-Numbers-Technology – driven and distracted workplace, stress and conflict are up and attention levels are down. Learn how the Stress Doc’s “Higher Power Humor” can positively impact your culture: productivity, cooperation, and morale. When humor springs from the head and heart, that is, comes from a place of Emotional Intelligence, then humor has the potential to be much more than just a good joke. And this is especially true if a dynamic communicator/leader knows how to play with and strategically connect Emotional Intelligence (EQ) with the Stress Doc’s new concept of “Humor Intelligence” (HQ).

Are you ready to explore the seriously silly, radiant realm of Higher Power Humor ™?

If so, let Mark Gorkin, LICSW, the Stress Doc ™, acclaimed author, speaker, webinar presenter, organizational consultant, and clinical therapist provide you with step-by-step guidance for employing “hands on humor” tools and techniques. Through the Stress Doc’s Get FIT – FUN-Interactive-Thought-provoking – substance and style, you will learn to: a) captivate and inspire an audience — large or small, b) disarm “stress carriers” and touchy conflict situations, c) become a more authentic — fearless and vulnerable — and trust-building role model, and, most importantly, d) understand (and practice) the differences among healing, humbling, and hostile humor; harness the power of self-effacing yet affirming humor.
