Fiona McGary has agreed to come all the way to the Traprock from the Gold Coast to stimulate and challenge us.
Humour helps people with their psychological and physical well-being. How can we train ourselves to find the funny, even when we feel way out of our depth?
Thanks to support from PHN West Moreton we are able to host this extra-ordinary event.

Fiona McGary is a professional comedian of 20 years, speaker, trainer and thought leader in using humour as a tool for growth and change. Fiona’s performances have included being part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Adelaide Fringe and Sydney Comedy Festival
After working as a professional stand-up comedian for 20 years, Fiona was fascinated to unpack the science behind humour; what it is; how it works and how we can better use its power to enhance aspects of both our personal and professional lives. When utilised effectively, humour can help us process and move through difficult times. It develops the same muscle that builds creativity, and innovation. It develops resilience and delivers an increased overall sense of well-being that is essential for any lifestyle.
Fiona’s obsession with understanding this mysterious force, along with her desire to help individuals harness the amazing power of humour has lead to the development of her “Grow with Humour” workshop.
We are excited to have such a sort-after motivational and professional development speaker come all the way to share on the topic of humour, change and building resilience.
