Judy Carter's Keynotes Topics

Humor in the Workplace -- Laughing Your Way out of Stress

Life and work are stressful - overwhelming deadlines, stacks of paperwork, communication breakdowns.  Judy illustrates the power of humor and teaches how to turn problems into punchlines, resolve conflict, and come up with snappy retorts that transform conflict into camaraderie so everyone will walk away with tools that they can use immediately. Her "Don't get mad, get funny" philosophy inspires people to deal with issues such as downsizing and layoffs -- not to mention that overflowing inbox -- with a sense of humor, rather than a sense of desperation
 

Embracing Change

Your company might be reorganizing or focusing in a different direction.  Your financial situation has probably changed -- seemingly for the worse (unless you're CEO of Enron and now living in the Bahamas on shareholder money).  

Judy shows companies how to embrace change creatively and with humor. She provides tools and strategies to face the many challenges of change, and to take those challenges and make them into opportunities. Companies such as Fedex invited Judy to speak when they initiated a new bonus plan, which wasn't so popular.  Boeing hired Judy to speak to their management group when they merged with Rockwell. She was such a wild success that they hired her to speak at eight more management groups.  Judy talks about how change is a part of the cycle of life. We can ignore it, run from it, or embrace it as part of the adventure of life and have a good laugh.
 

Women's Audiences

Being a woman is stressful, and Judy shows women how to take power by putting a humor spin on issues rather than getting defensive.  Issues covered: Women in Leadership, Personal and Business Negotiations, Dealing with Conflict, Embracing Change, and Snappy Retorts to Stupid Things People Say -- without losing your job.  So the next time, at the end of a rough day, when someone says, "Smile!  You look so much prettier when you smile." You'll know exactly what to say!
 

Healthcare Humor - "Laughter" - It Really Is the Best Medicine"

It is now a proven medical fact that laughter can improve both physical and mental health. It's free. You don't have to swallow it with water. It's not painful. So why hasn't someone harnessed it and sold it as a miracle cure? Judy Carter has. And that's why she's spoken to doctors' groups, nurses, hospital staffs, social workers, and healthcare conferences.

From laughing your way out of stress to using humor to connect with your patients, Judy Carter will show you how to get your daily dose of laughter and how to pass it on.  
 

Dentistry Humor

One of the most stressful professions is dentistry. So at your next convention, along with your technical speakers, how about having a keynote on how to "Lighten up -- so while you're drilling, your patients are chilling."  Judy will keep you laughing (without gas) an ve dentists, dental hygenists, dental assistants, as well as office staff practical advice on how to handle the screamer, the complainer, the squirmer, and keep your clients as well as your sense of humor.
 

Colleges, Standup Comedy

Judy's - "A Womb with a View" - is a no hold's barred, tell-it-like-is, only funnier standup comedy show.  Often referred to as "Smart comedy," Judy puts a comedy spin on hot issues such as politics, terrorism, homophobia, feminism, and fleas.


In addition to Judy's keynote... how about adding a breakout session?
