"I thought the applause would go on forever. During, immediately after, and continually since our annual staff meeting last Friday, I have heard nothing but praise for your presentation. Obviously your Comic Vision has helped us all see better what is most important and how to improve our work environment and our work productivity."

James H. Solomon, Deputy Regional Manager, Annual Meeting Chair United States General Accounting Office

"Not only does Tim conduct wonderful, positive workshops, he is also good to work with while arranging the conference. Any human service organization will benefit by having Tim Gard give one of his presentations."

Margaret M. Mann, Member Mountain State Chapter National Eligibility Workers Association

"Not many people can take an hour and make it a lasting memory. You did! People are still telling your "zipper" story and "Pride & Joy" pictures are appearing everywhere. I never would have believed identifying ways to relieve stress could be so much fun. People were tired from laughing so hard."

Shirley Wilson, Technical Education Manager Texas Department of Human Services

Developing a Comic Vision

In this laugh-out-loud keynote presention, Tim finds humor almost everywhere. His outrageous stories and unusual toy props help audience members gain a fresh perspective on work and life through the principles of laughter. Discover how to harness humor to instantly reduce stress and renew spirits throughout the day. Perfect as an opening or closing keynote, luncheon or dinner event.

Leadership...Tao of Humor

Although almost everyone agrees what a positive impact humor can have at work, when misused, it can have an equally negative effect. In this laughter-filled workshop, discover how Tim's humor plan can give you the guidelines crucial to harnessing humor as a practical skill. You'll gain insight on: humor and today's fast-paced, diverse workplace; how "funny" does not always equal appropriate; and much more. You'll also learn how to steer clear of the negative humor that may become a source of problems and complaints. Excellent as a workshop, general session, in association with EEO classes, or combined with any other Comic Visions event.

Secrets of Choosing & Using Props

In this full or half-day workshop, Tim will re-awaken your fancy for fun and contagiously innocent mischief, while you enjoy looking at the challenges of life through Tim’s eyes.

Tim Gard’s use of extraordinary props in ordinary situations, and ordinary props in extraordinary situations, make him one of the most popular and original humorists on the platform today. His props are fun and funny, but most importantly, they serve as visual reminders to act—not react—to life’s inconveniences.
