Annual Meeting

Staying Balanced During Unbalanced Times:
How to get and keep a sense of humor when things aren't funny, presented by Izzy Gesell

The world we live and work in, once thought of as habitual and logical, is now erratic and unpredictable. As "thriving on chaos" becomes the norm, people and the organizations they operate in must find new ways of making sense of their situations.

This program examines practical ways and means of maintaining physical and emotional fitness through humor, one of our most under-utilized personal resources. Laughter and happiness are important factors in the attempt to achieve and maintain a healthy personal and professional life. Humor boosts morale, facilitates communication, stimulates creativity and helps manage stress. Participants will learn how humor works and how to bring it into their lives on a daily basis.

Izzy Gesell M.ED, CSP is an “organizational alchemist” who helps people navigate their internal logjams and emerge more confident, spontaneous and effective. Through keynotes, breakouts, coaching and facilitated sessions, Izzy offers imaginative, intuitive and immediately useful insights and programs. He delivers meaningful material in an enjoyable way.

Among the first to use Improv Theater concepts as tools for personal and organizational learning, he is the author of Playing Along: Group Learning Activities Borrowed From Improvisation Theater, a co-author of Humor Me: America’s Funniest Humorists on the Power of Laughter, a co-author of Cancer and the Healing Power of Play and a contributor of a chapter on improvisation as a facilitation tool in the IAF Group Facilitators Handbook.
