Jennifer’s Talk, “Anything That Can Go Wrong…Can Be Funny,” explores the facts that we will not always be able to control what happens to us or around us, but we can control how we process those losses and traumas and how we surround ourselves, our experiences, and our memories with funny.
If you didn’t have trauma or loss before March of 2020, you do now. And that’s okay. You’re okay. We have all suffered from losses of a variety of shapes and sizes. It’s natural for us to separate our traumatic experiences from humorous ones, but learning to laugh at all times, even during excruciating moments or when accessing the memories of those, helps us to heal, process, and connect with each other and survive future funny fractures. Discover how humor can help you fix your funny bone and use your humor superpowers for good when you encounter your next splinter.
About Jennifer
Forget flying, invisibility or teleportation – the best superpower to covet is humor. Jennifer Keith’s superpower has been and always will be humor – in many forms.
As a certified Humor Professional and current president of the international Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor, Jennifer discovered the brain remembers two things – trauma and humor. Using her G.R.I.T. method of using humor to process trauma and loss, Jennifer finds ways to fix the funny bone and find the funny faster when surrounded by disappointing and upsetting events. If your brain is remembering the difficult times anyway, why not cushion them with a little bit of light, levity, and laughter?
Jennifer has degrees in English, journalism, theatre, technology, and educational leadership, proving that she doesn’t want to nor should any of us grow up or stop learning. This soon-to-be published author encourages you to take funny bone breaks – integrating humor into daily life, career, and family situations which can transform situations from barely tolerable to memorably positive. Jennifer is excited to add TEDx speaker to her extensive resume of educating and laughing at the same time.
