Budget crunches, classroom sizes, student discipline, staff retention, parent/student/teacher/administrator relations... it is imperative to maintain a sense of perspective, purpose and spirit within school organizations and educators. The “Going Got Tough” for Mr. Braverman at the age of four, when his father was diagnosed with cancer, making it difficult for Terry to focus on learning. His father had six major operations in a span of eight years before succumbing to the disease when Terry was 13; that same year, Terry witnessed a murder in a place of worship, provoking him into a suicidal depression. At this point in his presentation, the laughter subsides into a stunned hush. People are on the edge of their seats as Terry reveals the defining moment of humor that turned his life around!
As an inspired people expert with a therapist and stand-up comedy background (really), Mr. Braverman can help show you how to boost morale, build teamwork, and foster a joy in learning environment, even in times of adversity! Studies indicate that people with a highly developed, appropriate sense of humor and fun in their work tend to be the most creative, resilient, and productive. Other studies indicate that applied, concept-related humor and fun in the classroom can help facilitate learning and positively affect test results. There are specific skills that Terry can demonstrate in his hilarious style to assist education professionals in achieving a resourceful state and create a measurable impact on education.
