I was pleasantly surprised to find that Forbes made a mention of me a few months back. Take a look..you’ll need to scroll down through the article about halfway. It’s good company to be in.

By the way the conference was excellent, even with noticeably fewer attendees. Still, the mother ship, the OC Tanner booth, was packed and rocking as myself and two speaking colleagues Andrea Gappmayer and Chris Kendrick rotated live presentations throughout the duration of the conference.

On Wednesday morning I delivered the Levity Effect keynote to about 400 people who chose to stay till the bitter (better?) end.

A woman whose name, title, and company escape me now, told me that levity saved her life. She and her husband had gone vacationing in Europe and out of nowhere she gets sick and falls into a coma. Nice. I don’t remember what she had or exactly how long it took for her to recover, but she did. Fully. She had to stay there in a hospital bed in Europe for months, yikes. (I hope it was Norway or Denmark or someplace with free health care.) Her doctor told her that were it not for her sense of humor she probably wouldn’t have survived.

Wow, what an amazing storyteller I am. That was truly captivating. I asked her to email me the details of the story because I knew I would forget…and look at that. Once again, I was right.

Anyway, SHRM was good.
