Relieving Work-Related Stress with Humour

Stress is a major cause of most illnesses — but humour is an amazing way to relieve it. Did you know your brain shrinks when it's stressed? Harvard studies have demonstrated just that.

But when you laugh, you relax. And when you relax, you learn.

This hilarious and inspirational session explores seven stress-relieving ingredients — delivered with the timing of 25 years of stand-up, and built for conferences, leadership events and galas.

Humour that makes people laugh.
Science that makes people think.
Stories that make people remember.
