Afternoon Keynote Presenter
Kathleen K. Passanisi, PT, CSP, CPAE
Ladies, Life and Laughter; The Role of Humor in Keeping Women Healthy, Happy and Sane
Sponsored by WJCT Public Broadcasting
Women are more likely to worry and less likely to be happy, especially between
the ages of thirty and fifty. Ask a woman of any age what causes her stress and
she will ask how much time you have to listen. But ask what the remedy is and
her eyes glaze over as she ponders the question. For most women, life is usually
crammed with pressures, obligations and an unrelenting schedule.
Good news! An antidote is available around the clock – and it is free. Kathleen
Passanisi is particularly gifted in finding the humor in hassles and challenges
facing women. If the stress in your life makes you want to cry, she will help you
learn to laugh instead. No kidding.
Kathleen K. Passanisi is an internationally recognized Hall of Fame speaker,
experienced health care professional, businesswoman, wife, mother and the
