About Tim Gard, CSP, CPAE
 During
the last decade, Tim has delivered his entertaining, informative
presentations nationally and internationally, speaking to
government groups, professional associations, and corporations
of every kind. Through his work he expands the understanding
of humor skills as stress reduction tools. His development
of easy-to-implement techniques has inspired action from
publishers, television, and radio talk shows around the
world. His methods and techniques are an effective way to
deal with, diffuse, and even avoid intensely stressful encounters
that can—and often do—occur every
day.
After majoring in communications at Flathead Valley Community
College and Montana State University in Bozeman, Tim began
his career working with the Montana Department
of Social and Rehabilitation Services. During this experience,
he discovered that his ability (and unstoppable tendency!)
to sprinkle non-malicious mischief over office politics in
a tense environment was an appreciated antidote
to daily pressures. When asked by superiors to develop a
training program to assist eligibility workers in managing
stress, burnout and the ever-looming threat of compassion
fatigue, he knew that
sharing his own good humor was the most powerful and productive
way to contribute.
After locating to Denver, Colorado in 1994 to join the staff of USDA's Food
and Nutrition Service, the enormous calling from his peers and superiors
for consulting and training inspired Tim to resign from the federal government,
and devote a full-time effort to his seminars
and workshops.
Now, more than a decade later, Tim's down-to-earth style and easy manner gains
him immediate rapport as he imparts his
stress-reducing, success-generating perspective in a highly humorous format.
Whether he is helping a group develop a Comic Vision®,
or building strong teams through humor, participants enjoy his fun, informative
and fast-paced session that keeps them on the edge of their seats! A navy
veteran who served tours in San Francisco and aboard the U.S. aircraft carrier
Midway in Japan, Tim values the sacrifices, contributions
and pressures endured by people who want to make the world a better place for
us all, one laugh at a time.
