Presenter for Conferences,
Conventions and Staff Retreats

Make your event memorable with a fresh and professional Laughter Stimulus presentation, guaranteed to leave your participants feeling energized, oxygenated and talking about your conference with a smile!

All presentations are customized to suit your group  and your time-frame. The secret of Laughter Yoga is our brains are hard-wired to immediately release powerful  ’feel good’  hormones with simulated extended laughter. No jokes necessary.  The deep breathing and stretching oxygenates our blood, organs and brain for better learning and retention at your conference!  And, of course, laughter is contagious, so it really gets rolling when hundreds of people are laughing together.

With  nine years of experience as a Senior Management Training Specialist with the University of California System, as an Instructor at the University of California International Business School, teaching Graduate Pyschology  and as trainer for Certified Coaching for Organizational Effectiveness, I am a professional, reliable presenter who will deliver a polished, relevant and engaging  presentation. No worries.

My background also  includes  an M.A. in Clinical Psychology, years of counseling  experience, serving as a Critical Incident Stress Debriefer for teams and being part of interdisciplinary medical teams with hospice and at other community health agencies.

I have recently been hired to present  “Vicarious Trauma: Laughter Yoga as a Tool for Coping”  for several 2010  nursing conferences and “Laughter for Leaders”  in business settings. I do trainings in Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Trainings at UCSF Hospital’s Osher Center for Integrative Medicine where Laughter Yoga is now part of their program and often speak to healthcare professionals.

Laughter Yoga is done seated, standing, and if space allows, moving about the room. There are no jokes, but there is guarenteed laughter. We stretch, practice deep breathing, clap, shake hands with one another and practice fun laughter exercises suitable for a business setting. No group is too large for me to handle!

• Highly successful, experienced presenter integrates lively movement, clapping and movement with current research and relevant tools.
• Laughter keynotes and break-outs are customized to any conference theme or audience
• Fresh,uplifting, relevant and fun interaction leads to memorable conferences
• Sessions also adapted for staff retreats, trainings, meetings, in-house conferences, special events and celebrations
• Appropriate for diverse audiences and diverse fitness levels.

OHMYGOSH and a HO HO HAHAHA to you! As I said before I left, “You were PERFECT.” And I seldom (if ever) say that or think that.

You made the talk personal, yet geared to professionals. You helped us see how to add joy into our own lives and into the lives of those we serve. How perfect is that?

Laughter Yoga as an After Lunch Energizer
Banish Power Point Blues with a rousing session to awaken adult learning! Laughter Yoga helps with digestion and is an effective way to energize your work group for a more productive afternoon. I’ve been invited to a number of professional conferences and retreats to rouse the group from their mid-day energy slump. Stretching, deep breathing, moving about the room and laughter enlivens your business group for the work ahead. The session can be customized with content to suit your agenda. .

Happy Hour Laughter Yoga
Wrap up your day of work or meetings with a fun session of Laughter Yoga designed to relieve stress, create community connection and energize your group for the evening ahead.

Yoga Desk Stretch
Your group will learn an easy series of fun stretches to relieve the stress caused by sitting at work. Not only will this session serve to energize your group at the meeting or conference, it will provide helpful tools to reduce stress, eye strain and back pain when participants do these moves back at their own desks.

“Carmela Carlyle received rave reviews for her dynamic, inspiring and informative keynote presentation at the All America Laughter Yoga Conference in San Diego which drew professionals from all over the USA and as far away as Europe, Australia and Ethiopa. Carmela’s background as a polished conference speaker was clearly evident, but it was her charismatic authenticity that engaged us to listen, learn and join her in playfully practicing her original Laughter Yoga exercises.

Equally impressive was Carmela’s post-conference three-hour training workshop demonstrating her abilities as a skillful trainer and coach. And, she even created a rich two-hour DVD as a training tool for participants’ follow-up home practice. Carmela delightfully delivers the total laughing and learning package!”
