Motivational Time out for Educators and Others

Comedian/Author Brad Tassell's Motivational Time-out is the perfect thing to help any group relax and be motivated at the same time, all the while laughing like there is no tomorrow. Brad is a 23 year comedy veteran and Carnival Cruiselines top rated comedian in 2007 and 2010. But with his books on Character Education and Bullying he can get even the toughest crowd to grow in mind and spirit right along with the laughs. This program is perfect for a staff luncheon, or to lighten up professional development. It could be used as a great treat for maintenance staff or a secretaries group. If you are getting together for any reason this program fits. Brad will touch on many topics to think about and grow from, but always keep it light and funny. Everyone will go away refreshed and enlightened and thanking you for this treat!


Program Format


1. I always start with a surprise magic trick. Ages 4-90 laugh every time. But there is a lesson in it too about the real magic in the world!
2. The song of life. It's a game, a song, and some silliness inbetween.
3. What is our biggest problem in the world? Teaching kids bad habits. We will talk about some with stories that will have them rolling in the aisles.
4. We will also touch on a zillion other subject to enlighten and tickle that funny bone.
5. a little about stopping bullying.
