How to hang on to humor when life doesn't go as planned
And, by the way, life never goes as planned. There's a part of the fairy tale they never told you about - the part where the charming prince grows a spare tire, the princess develops anger issues, and dreams of happily-ever-after turn into unpaid bills, dirty laundry, and dreams of killing him in his sleep. At some point, even the fairest of us all finds a page ripped out of our fairy tale. Join us as award-winning storyteller and humorist, Kelly Swanson, takes us on a hilarious and inspiring journey with her wacky cast of southern characters who will charm you, inspire you, and remind you how to stay on the funny side of life - even when things don't go the way you planned. (This program teaches people how to cultivate a healthy workplace attitude in times of stress and change - including team building, working with difficult people, etc. Can be delivered as keynote or breakout session - breakout covers 25 tips.)
Kelly's shows are unique to each audience - written to fit the time, the place, the theme, and the group. But here's an example of how this program was done for a community event where the goal was just to motivate and entertain: WHO HIJACKED MY FAIRY TALE

Maybe you are kicking off a fundraiser and want to get people pumped up. Maybe you want to unveil a new vision or tell your company's story. Kelly will listen to your goals and visions and write the perfect program that will leave your group talking about you for years.
Unleashing Your CREATIVE Side
Bringing CREATIVITY to the Workplace:
Unlocking Your CREATIVE Side
To help you bring fresh ideas and unique perspectives to your line of work. Creative - marked by the ability or power to create : given to creating 2 : having the quality of something created rather than imitated : imaginative
Creativity is one the least discussed yet most important tools in business.
We tend to buy into the idea that some people are born creative and some are not. This is not true. We all have the ability to be creative and think outside of our box - some of us just need some help tapping into it. We need someone to show us how to think with a different side of our brain. We need someone to help us conquer the fear and overwhelming desire to imitate, and show us how to move forward to that magical place of original thought and ideas - to reach a level of creativity that we never imagined we'd find in ourselves. For within each one of us lies the power to create and imagine. Isn't it time to bring this gift to the workplace?
Join us for a refreshingly different kind of program designed to take you out of your comfort zone - filled with fun and engaging activities - as Kelly shows us ways to explore our creative side. You will laugh, heal, and reach an entirely new level of creativity. And we make a solemn promise that this kind of creativity will not include duct tape and throw pillows.
