“Read how Carole’s clients felt about the presentation she did for them”


“Carole is an absolute pleasure to work with – she is at once funny, engaging and personable – I felt like I was working with a dear old friend.”

Alison Eagles, 2008 Conference Organizer
BC Yukon Transition House Society


"With her talk about the merits of good customer service and the importance of starting each day with laughter (and we did!), Carole had the undivided attention of the 180 guests at the event. We will definitely be asking her to speak at a future event. Thank you Carole, for contributing to the success of the Breakfast of Champions!"

Comments from the "Journey of a Woman" presented by the Kootenai Community Centre, Creston, BC

"On behalf of the Journey of a Woman committee, we send a heartfelt Thank You to Carole for her "Wake UP to Laughter" presentation. What we witnessed was women getting in touch with their laughter. What started as timid participation grew so that the laughter echoed through the hall and poured out onto the streets. We wished we could have stood on the steps and hollered for more to come in and partake. Also, a big "Thank You" to Carole's alter ego, Myrtle Snodgrass......her special appearance brought the house down."

Dina Bambrick
Executive Director
Kootenai Community Centre

 

"Carole, Thank You for sharing your passion. It showed. Your laughter presentation was good for our souls.

"I have found Carole to be a most inspiring (‘in-spirit’) speaker as she calls upon her own personal life experiences as well as her extensive training and knowledge. Her audience is caught up in her enthusiasm, her ability to entertain as she teaches, and the many very effective tools she shares."

"She pays attention to details, is always meticulously prepared and armed with many sources of laughter which in my experience, seems to be her most talented method to get her message across. This is closely followed by her obvious caring for people, her generosity and her excellent public speaking ability."

"Carole is a respected speaker in her own community and beyond and she has my respect and recommendation."

"I really enjoyed this pro-day. I felt very relaxed and upbeat when I left. Humour really does work to make you feel good. We even wore our red noses to work the next day and made everybody else laugh as well. Now, when we are having a stressful day or are dealing with a difficult situation, we just say "Let's wear our noses today" and somehow we seem to feel better."

Great pro-day!
Kerrie


"I found her humorous approach delightful. My red nose is in my glove box and I plan to "buy a coffee for the guy behind me' - real soon. It makes me smile just to think about it!

Thanks again,
Jannette


"The pro-day with Carole Fawcett was hilarious. She got us laughing and giggling. Our work days can be very stressful, so having an opportunity to laugh was wonderful. The information Carole gave us for daily living will help keep the stress down if you follow it. 
 

Thank you for the great day.
Linda


Everyone at AJ's Pets want to thank you for the very helpful in-service on customer service that you gave us. It's funny, but when we need to deal with a challenging customer, we all refer to "motorboat laughter" and imagine going across Kal Lake. It always brings a smile to our face. It's kind of our secret message to one another that we are dealing with someone challenging. Since your presentation, I have found that the staff make it a point to not let rude or grumpy people ruin their day.

I would recommend this experience to everyone, all people can benefit. I appreciate that you took time to know your audience and keyed in on the current issues and stressors that the staff face in their workday. You are very knowledgeable and have a sensitive, caring, and enthusiastic way of presenting that knowledge, appealing to all personality types.


MUSE Convention.................Carole's "Wake Up To Laughter" presentation was great, one of the top 3 great things about the conference. As one of the 300 participants stated: "I feel so much better after starting the day with a good laugh!"


"Carole's knowledge & energy in her presentations as our Laughter Therapist work together to facilitate positive change & introduce fun & a sense of well being in the people who come to the Alive Wellness Resort." ~ Vic Lebouthillier, CEO, Alive Wellness Resort


Vernon & District Credit Union ~ "Carole showed us the importance of incorporating laughter into our workdays, thus giving a necessary stress release.  We highly recommend this workshop for any business or organization."


Beverley Dahl, Coordinator of Volunteer Services & Meal Programs, Interior Health ~ "Your message is very timely and your presentation style makes it seem like we're "just" having fun, but we're taking away a wealth of information and ideas for putting fun and laughter into our own lives and the lives of those we serve.  I was sorry to see it end."



 

 

Back to Top

Then Laugh
Bertha Adams Backus

"Build for yourself a strong box,
Fashion each part with care;
When it's strong as your hand can make it,
Put all of your troubles there;
Hide there all thought of your failures,
And each bitter cup that you quaff;
Lock all your heartaches within it,
The sit on the lid and laugh.

Tell no one else its contents,
Never its secrets share;
When you've dropped in your care and worry
Keep them forever there;
Hide them from sight so completely
That the world will never dream half;
Fasten the strong box securely -
Then sit on the lid and laugh."
