Sally Shaver helped the employees from the Carroll County Iowa Family Resource Center to enjoy a day of laughter and learning in the tranquil setting of Hidden Acres Camp near Dayton, Iowa on October 8, 2007. Participants learned about the health benefits of adding more laughter and humor into their workplace as Sally entertained and encouraged them with activities, magic, ventriloquism and laughter exercises.
The current research tells us that preschool children laugh on the average of 400 times per day while adults only chuckle about 15 times. Laughter releases endorphins into the brain which gives us that “feel good” sensation, reduces blood pressure and can help to decrease depression. Therefore, Sally is on a mission to help others of ALL ages to laugh through her presentations and with her professional clown character, Silly Sally.
Sally is a certified laughter leader through the World Laughter Tour and presents programs to groups for corporate trainings, teacher trainings, women’s retreats, community organizations and church groups. Check out the Smile Awhile Presentations website to find out more about Sally’s programs.
