After earning her Bachelors
Degree in Communications (University of New Hampshire), Karyn moved to
California to pursue a career as a professional comedian (thrilling
her parents.) Within 2 years she was traveling nationally as a
professional comedian, using clean, connecting humor to delight her
audiences.
Between comedy "gigs" Karyn
worked as a "temp." Because of her professionalism, she was always
being asked to assist top-level managers within the Fortune 500
companies. It was during this time that she started to objectively
observe the inner workings of business. She took a lot of notes and
did her research, formulating her current philosophy on how to help
people work and live with less stress and more joy. She is passionate
about helping people think better thoughts, gain a feeling of personal
control over stress and use humor as a powerful life and productivity
skill.
Karyn is a
prolific writer
on the subject of living and working with less stress. Her national
program

televised repeatedly over the past years. She has been featured in the
Denver Business Journal, and The Denver Post and has appeared as a
humor and stress expert on Channel 7 and Channel 9.
Karyn's insights on business are
real, because she's been there. She's worked in the mailroom, she's
worked in a customer call center, she's worked in sales, she's worked
in the hospitality business, she's worked as an administrative
assistant and she is now a business owner herself.
As the owner of Laugh and Learn
Productions, a Colorado-based company dedicated to helping people live
and work more joyfully, Karyn decided to combine her business acumen,
her gift as a comedian and her love of people into a rare and
delightful presence on the professional speaking circuit.
Karyn Ruth
also uses her gift of humor and heart to work with young people,
helping them to believe in themselves and cherish their gifts. After
all, happy, self-confident children have a good chance of becoming
happy, self-confident and highly productive adults.
