John Simmons Tickles Our Funny Bone

DateMonday, January 23, 2012 at 11:32AM

What a delightful surprise to have received an impromptu donation by Executive Women International's recent Guest Speaker John Simmons. At the January 18th EWI General Meeting, John presented to the membership his insightful and hilarious look into the inner psyche of the male co-worker. 

John is an award winning educator who has been delivering workshops, seminars and keynote addresses since 1989. He is also the author of The Power of Humor: Top Ten Ways to Lighten Up Your Workplace (without getting fired!). 

John sold a dozen books that evening and generously donated the proceeds to Highbanks. For a funny guy, John is truly a big heart! Thanks again!
