HUMOROUS RESOURCES
Oh, the vicissitudes of life! Sometimes, all you can do is laugh off the crazy times. Dr. Confer is a global humorist who has worked with every level of government; with the non-profit and private sectors; with corporate America; and with local and national political campaigns. She has been a consultant, leader, follower... even a floater! Where there's a real or virtual space and human beings, there's a tale— with gaffes, giggles and jingles, to boot! If you're looking to lift the mood with a light-hearted message, she’s got you covered!
Humorous resources: Families
Families are not exempt from the dynamics of communicating or working through conflict. There is nothing like story-telling and humor to heal a little family madness, or to celebrate just how “perfect” your relatives really are. However you define, “family,” Dr. Confer will consult with you to create a funny talk, with a built-in message. So, don’t talk about ’em... Allow Dr. Confer to do it! Whether it's a virtual platform or in person, the ones you love will be laughing, living, and leaving legacies... for years to come!
