HOHO 2009: Humor Outreach Humor Opportunity: Save Your Dollars and Cents... and Sense of Humor
As noted in our Laughing Matters e-zine, The HUMOR Project went on the road (way) Down Under in December. Joel Goodman did a presentation in Buenos Aires for 150 teachers (see Argentina for a taste) and then proceeded to present in Antarctica (buffeted by 65 mph winds). This enabled Joel to reach a significant smilestone and to check off one of his "bucket list" goals-- to speak on all seven continents.

This trip also kicked off The HUMOR Project's HOHO (Humor Outreach Humor Opportunity) Campaign for 2009. Our Speakers Bureau has been very busy and has done presentations for more than 3 million people throughout the U.S. and abroad. We are going to redouble our efforts to spread humor far and wide (Humor Outreach)... we would be glad to explore the possibility of doing a program, speech, seminar, workshop or other presentation for your organization or professional association (local, state or national).

As a way of acknowledging the financial challenges facing individuals and organizations these days, The HUMOR Project is willing to offer Value Pricing Discounts (Humor Opportunity) for any speaking engagements that are booked between now and December 31, 2009.

Click on the Speakers Bureau link at the top of our Home Page to see testimonials and 30 sample topics (we always customize for each engagement). Jest give us a call at 518-587-8770 to explore the program possibilities and to ask for the HOHO Value Pricing Discount.

Life Coaching Now Available
The HUMOR Project is delighted to offer life coaching sessions (in person and/or by phone). This could be of special interest to anyone going through a transition, to people who would like to identify and build on their strengths, and to folks who want to be intentional about setting and realizing their personal and professional goals.

Save the Dates: June 11-13, 2010: 53rd International Humor Conference
We are delighted to announce that our 53rd international conference on "The Positive Power of Humor and Creativity" will take place from June 11-13, 2010 at scenic Silver Bay Conference Center on majestic Lake George (jest north of Saratoga Springs, NY). Over the years, this learning-filled, laughter-fueled program has attracted 21,000+ attendees from all 50 states and 6 continents. Stay tuned for more details that will appear in our monthly Laughing Matters email newsletter... and in our 2010 Sourcebook that will be available in January. We are especially excited that our kick-off keynoter will be Jeff Zaslow, the co-author with Randy Pausch of the #1 international best-seller The Last Lecture. Jeff is also the co-author with Captain Sullenberger of the just-released Highest Duty (about Sully's life and lessons leading up to his heroic actions in saving 155 passengers when he had to land his plane in the Hudson River). Our conference will be paying a special tribute to the late Norman Cousins for his pioneering and inspiring work in the humor-health connection.

Comedy is a mysterious and unexplored art. (Robert Klein-- Happy Birthday!)

What would you use to explore "humor"-- a telescope, a microscope or a kaleidoscope? What would you see?

Hang a sign in your office: "Life's too mysterious... don't take it too serious!"
