Discover the potential for humor in your life and the steps in making your humor successful. Techniques to enhance your humor will be discussed and demonstrated. Jim graduated with his bachelor’s degree in social work and a master’s degree in business management. Jim also has his DMA (Doesn’t Mean Anything). Jim has spent over 40 years working in the human service field, teaching, training and working with people to enhance their thinking and impact their lives.
