Why Normal Isn't HealthyDoing what comes naturally— what millions of years of evolution have programmed us to do—may be perfectly normal, but it's not necessarily healthy. Where, in the headlong "progress" of the human race, do you really fit in? Take a minute to find out, and find yourself, in this presentation inspired by Dr. White's book devoted to the proposition that a whole, healthy, heartfelt life is something that each of us must and can learn—and earn—anew. Funny, incisive, and persuasive, this doctor's prescription is as easy to swallow as it is effective: laugh, misbehave, make mistakes, and through it all discover your very own potential for health, healing, and wholeness.
Communications & Team Building In A Time Of ChangeChange is a prerequisite for life and for growth. Without it we die or dry up. Yet dealing with change is stressful. However, we can't reach peak performance with being stressed/challenged. Great communication and teamwork helps create the healthy support system required to fully express group potential in times of change.
Humor In The WorkplaceYou may have heard that laughter is the best medicine. Not so. Laughter is a great social lubricant. It gets folks to relax, let down their defenses and begin to see possibilities that have gone unnoticed. Creativity is released and fun can happen with our patients and coworkers alike. This presentation gets the laughter flowing.
