Giggling

I giggle a lot. Mostly because I love my work.

For over 10 years, I have been teach a loving form of stand up comedy to people working on social or environmental issues. Participants include climate scientists, environmental Phds, humanitarian workers, mums with a great insight on parenting, and many others.

That site is www.sustainablestandup.com.

I help people to:

• notice patterns which help us or hinder us from being more awesome/human/compassionate/effective with each other and with Earth
• engage others in meaningful, memorable, and delightful ways
• not burn out when we need them most

I help people working on meaningful, complex projects within or across organisations to collaborate and communicate more effectively, wisely, and delightfully. Since 2007, I have been teaching people to practice applied improvisation. I was. on the board of the Applied Improvisation Network for six years and co-chaired many of their international conferences during that time. And my main improv site is www.maffick.com.

It's where I'm from - because explaining that I lived in the US, Mexico, Canada, Hong Kong, the UK and Germany is too complex for most people. Applied improv is 'the gym' for complexity, and I have worked with the fabulous ladies behind the 35 year old Human Systems Dynamics Institute, an organisational complexity consultancy and education organisation.

I design and support unique sustainability learning projects which help us better engage in the complex nature of turning struggling lives and soil into thriving, life-supporting, delightful places with healthier, happier living conditions. That work is enriched by my comedy and applied improv work. If that sounds interesting, you are in the right place. This website. :)
