A Special Message from Tim Gard, CSP, CPAE
HELLO!
I hope you're are having a good day.
I have a question for you . . .
Are you
choosing to use your Comic Vision to limit the impact of
stress so you have more good days than bad days? How about
your employees, your co-workers or fellow members of your
professional associations? Are they suffering from stress
or are they using their Comic Vision?
The effects of stress can have a negative impact
on our ability to perform duties, lessen our ability to
communicate with fellow employees and cause low morale,
absenteeism and depression. The overall result
can be a reduction in quality and productivity, and a
diminished ability to serve the needs of customers and
clients.
My name is Tim Gard, and I am writing to offer you
a humorous and fun way to deal with stress or burnout with
my Comic Vision Seminars. In my seminars I "stress" that
we cannot control the negative things we encounter every
day, the situational stress factors. But I emphasize that
we can control how we perceive those negative things and
lessen or eliminate their ability to impact our mental
health... by using a Comic Vision.
What is a Comic Vision? Good question!
Briefly, a Comic Vision is actively choosing
to laugh when we can, being serious about the things we
have to, and achieving a balance in our lives. The "stress
reduction through humor" ideas and suggestions I offer
are all designed to be fun, practical and effective. Each
Comic Vision seminar I present is tailored to the group
I work with, meeting its unique challenges with Comic Vision
alternatives.
The Comic Vision seminars are a direct result of my
success in dealing with stress as a student, factory worker,
salesman, state and federal employee and now as a self-employed
businessman. I chose to use good humor and laughter as a
skill to avoid the stress I can and balance the stress
I can't avoid. I learned to take my job seriously
and myself lightly. Developing a Comic
Vision offered me a positive alternative to burnout and depression
that has been field-tested under some very arduous conditions.
In the last few years, I have shared my Comic Vision with
federal, state, county, civic and professional groups, both
nationally and internationally. The business professionals,
teachers, nurses, state and federal employees, students and
thousands of others who have attended my seminars agree that
laughter and good humor provide a very natural stress reliever. I
believe so strongly in the "Developing a Comic Vision" message
that, in 1994, I resigned from the federal government to
devote all my time to taking my seminars to a world of people.
But don't just take my word for it! Check out the "What
People Are Saying" page. It provides
comments from folks who have attended my programs.
Or give me a call and I'll send you a complete list of
references.
I would enjoy sharing my Comic Vision with you. I'm
certain my presentations would positively contribute to your
upcoming meeting, training program or conference.
I hope to hear from you soon! Remember...Laughter Becomes
You!
Sincerely,
Tim Gard, CSP, CPAE
