“If laughter really is the best medicine, Roz Trieber would make a world-class doctor” Examiner.com, March 3, 2007
Fellow speaker, author, and colleague, Roz Trieber, a certified health education specialist and certified laughter leader, is all about bringing humor to people under pressure. She walks her talk. She has survived breast and pancreatic cancer. Roz once shared with me how she brought laughter into an exam room with a red clown nose appropriately positioned for a colonoscopy. Her speaking career has focused on embracing humor to reduce stress and cope with negative situations.
Roz’s pancreatic cancer returned and her indomitable spirit shines even now in hospice. She’s modeling what she values--to live her moments in joy. She is committed to bringing laughter into her life every day, with her husband Bernie, her sons, and her friends.
At last Saturday’s National Speakers Association-DC meeting, a challenge was given to us—to pool our resources in spreading the word about her book, Cancer and the Healing Power of Play—a Prescription for Living Joyously with Presence, Acceptance and Trust.
Her mission is to fire up the humor spirit and not just for people with cancer. The games are designed for everyone who wants to experience more laughter and fun.
“Humor is all about imperfection,” says Roz. “No one laughs when something’s perfect." Putting the power of play into action lightens up the way,no matter what you're going through.
