Programs Offered

Fun-Inspired Workplace

(Remember, if you can’t laugh at yourself, you leave the job to others!)

What could be more fun than learning how to have more fun?! It’s like giving everyone a raise while you get a standing ovation of praise!
Fun Escape Meeting Breaks

(Energy boosting comic relief to lighten up the heavy stuff)

Fun Escapes are humorous interactive games, contests and activities that liven up meetings, conferences, trainings and special events. They’re a fun way to break the ice and reenergize the body and brain.Research shows, where there’s laughter, there’s learning. Prevent information overload and boredom resulting in compulsive smartphone checking! After all, school without recess would have been unbearable, so why should adults be deprived of a much needed sanity break in their day? Briefly escape the monotony and people will come alive, ready to listen, learn, and thrive.
Entertaining and Effective Presentations

Is This Thing On?

Using Humor to Deliver Entertaining and Effective Presentations (Hint: Boring people “silly” is not an effective use of humor!)

Learn how to use humor to capture attention and increase learning retention; infuse laughter with learning; and engage people so they’ll remember your message and respect you for being both knowledgeable and entertaining. Get tips on how to develop your own fun-inspired style and incorporate humor into your training and presentations with visuals, activities, comedic delivery, handouts, and stand-outs. Power up your people and presentation skills to become more confident, creative, and skilled at using humor. You’ll be having a good time doing something that scares most people to death! There’ll be no need to fear asking “Is this thing on?” ever again. The only thing you’ll have left to fear is attending someone else’s fun-impaired presentation!
Laugh and Lunch

Why wait for happy hour to be happy?

Laugh and Lunches are a great way to add some creative inspiration and camaraderie to your day. Learn and share tips on how to have more fun in life and work, reduce stress, boost morale, and most importantly, just LAUGH. Facilitated hands-on activities help people get to know each other beyond their job title and let themselves out to play mid workday. Humor is a great way to stay healthy mentally and physically and remind you that recess isn’t just for kids, it’s a necessary break we all need to do and feel our best. If you’re waiting for happy hour to be happy and feel relief, you’re waiting too long! You can also add a specific topic of fun from our workshop menu if desired for an additional cost. Laugh and Lunches can be held in your break room or offsite at a favorite restaurant. Cater it yourself or have employees/attendees bring their own lunch. Whatever you do, be sure to add some calorie free laughter to help you digest your day!
Laughy Hour

Novelty Networking and Party Games

What’s your name? What do you do? Here’s my card, let’s never call each other… Networking is the bane of many an executive’s existence. If you want to be memorable, and have your message stand out, add some fun to the usual suits meeting suits routine where most people want to escape. As Plato said, “You can learn more about someone in an hour of play than a year of conversation.” Stop mindless chatter and get to know whether you’d really like to do business with someone! Just Humor Me creates fun, interactive activities and games to serve as icebreakers and sales tools. Bring us in to shake things up and have your event be the talk, not snooze of the town. We can build on your existing event or create a new concept for you. You also have the option to add a workshop topic such as Powerful Pitches, Business Etiquette 101 or ask us to customize a program for your event. Most importantly, make sure there’s FUN to attract and retain members and guests for your organization’s social and business events. Be serious about being a professional, but don’t be professionally serious.

We also offer ice breakers and party games for social events that are not networking driven.
Humor & Creativity Coaching

One on One and Small Group Coaching

If you’d like to learn the secrets of how to tap into your own sense of humor and creativity to add more joy and success to your life and work… one on one or small group humor coaching is for you!

How We Help

We have a full schedule, who has the time?

We have goals to reach and content to cover, isn’t fun counterproductive?

People learn better and retain more when they are having fun. Because humor reduces stress, holds attention and fosters teamwork and creative thinking, it maximizes both efficacy and efficiency!

We’re on a budget, how much does a good time cost?

Humor breaks come in a variety of price friendly “humor stimulus packages”. The bottom line is-if you are not having fun…you’re losing money! Stress is costly but FUN is a renewable resource!

Did you know a Humor Break is as necessary as a restroom break?

It’s true! Can you measure the impact of a restroom break on morale? Humor is equally necessary, it flushes the mental toxins!

Teacher Training & Team Building Programs

“Creating a Laughing Classroom”: Creative Brainstorming Sessions filled with games, contests, unique techniques and real-world challenges to solve with fun. Shannon Spring, M.Ed was both a teacher’s dream and worst nightmare and has taught in public and private schools, reaping her good and bad karma! Now she’s empowering teachers to enjoy their jobs again, and make learning the fun experience it should be for all.

Laughter in the classroom is too often absent and seen as misbehavior, rather than an asset and ally. Naturally, the humor in classrooms must be appropriate and purposeful. Savvy educators realize that our brains respond to humor. It’s a major source of stimulation, motivation and cooperation.

WHEN CHILDREN ARE LAUGHING…. THEY’RE LEARNING! They’re learning social and academic skills because the brain connects the information to positive experiences. Creating a laughing classroom captures your students’ attention, increases learning retention, reduces disciplinary problems and builds a sense of camaraderie in the classroom. We’re not talking about becoming stand-up comedians, just entertaining educators who are empowered to laugh and learn ways to impart wisdom with wit!

“Shannon’s teacher training programs are absolutely the best we’ve had! We got rave reviews from our teachers that her creative and Humorist program was refreshing and inspirational. Shannon gave the staff countless ways to educate and entertain their students while also maintaining order. We had a great time during her training sessions with us.” – Mason Preparatory School
