JOYtalk is super fun and a powerful ‘learning spree’ for all ages and ethnicities about improving mental health, wellbeing and creativity.  It will help attendees to create and develop their own humour structure and live their best life! Joy comes with a wealth of learning including adoption, mental health, racism and dealing with abuse.

Joy works with business and the corporate sector as employees work better and are happier, which relates to improved workplace cohesion, better and creative problem solving, less sick days and higher staff retention.  This is especially important in high powered and high stress related workplaces, I a honoured to be able to work with social workers, homeless charities and those working in some of the most challenging working environments.

 

Joy utilises her stand up comedy as an entry to discussio because humour has a science, rhythm, psychology and personal blueprint of it's own.

 

We all need to learn the 'Art of Happy' and it starts with a giggle! 

Science has proved we have around 60,000 thoughts a day, of which 75% are repetitive and 95% are negative. We need humour to help us create​ better thinking, better speech therefore better outcomes and a better life.

Why not book me to speak at your event, training day or conference? Just Get in touch today. 

 

The JOYtalk will:

✅ Explore some of the science, mechanics and laughter laws of how joy works with your body, mind and spirit

One good laugh boosts the immune system for 24 hours.

 

✅ Give you life skills to use, develop and share wellbeing 'joy techniques' at home or work, especially helpful when building friendships or teams.

 

✅ Cover practical strategies to overcome fear, worry and stress in short and long term situations.

 

✅ Provide mindfulness activations and meditations that I have used since 2020 that will promote inner joyful peace to lessen sick days and improve a person/organisations daily quality of life and work life.

 

✅ Learn how 'joyfulness' can work when dealing with trauma, offence & conflict.

I worked with Emma Ramos an awards winning Mexican/American actress/celebrity on her global Ted Talk following her own experience of using Joy to overcome trauma. In her case Emma was kidnapped and threatened with extreme violence in Mexico but after many days she used humour and they let her go.

🔶️Why write this? Behind much joy is often much suffering. This talk is birthed out of necessity, curiosity and a passion to help others WIN their battles and thrive.

 

In 2017 following the passing of her father Joy had to re-think wellbeing so she began to research holistic healing rather than take anti-depressant drugs. 'I read about quantum mechanics, wellbeing, EMF, body frequency, inner healing, essential oil healing and coupled with my relationship in God I discovered more about the hidden realms of joy and the pieces of the jigsaw fused into this talk, seminar and speaking consultancy work'.

 

🔶️CONSULTANCY Joy offers consultancy work to comedians, speakers and any professional wishing to use humour in their workplace, including how to overcome nerves, for tea building and using humour in public speaking.​​

🔶️WHY LISTEN TO COMEDIANS? ‘Experts at restructuring and reframing negative and tragic circumstances into humorous ones, comedians often accomplish on stage what therapists hope to accomplish in their offices. Those who seek an effective means of coping with and overcoming everything from minor life stressors to major tragedies would benefit from learning the way of the comedian’ Nichole Force, M.A Psychology 2011 Humour’s Hidden Power; Weapon, Shield and Psychological Salve By Nichole Force
