1. Humour in the Workplace
-
Each year, we hold an academic symposium at which a variety of difficult and complex issues are addressed in an academic context. As the decompression event, we hold a celebratory dinner at which there is music, general social interaction, and various awards are presented. For the last two years, we have been very lucky to have this event hosted by Maureen Holloway, who has been a most amazing addition to the fun of the evening. Maureen is upbeat, bubbly, funny, perceptive and very much in touch with and on top of the characteristics and composition of her audience. She rapidly plumbs the pace of the evening, the flows and ebbs of the social dynamic, and creates diversions, jokes and patter that enhances the social interaction and has attendees roaring with laughter.
