In the tradition of Mark Twain and Bill Cosby, Karyn Buxman is among a handful of great American humorists who deliver insights cleverly disguised as humor. These insights are critical for those who want to not just survive but thrive in spite of their own (not to mention everyone else’s) annoying habit of being oh-so-human. Authentic, genuine, real-world wit and wisdom-drawn from Karyn’s many years as a nurse, and augmented by the ground-breaking research she’s conducted in the field of therapeutic humor-has been honed to a razor-sharp edge through the renowned renegade publication, “The Journal of Nursing Jocularity.” A force of nature on stage, Karyn addresses healthcare and corporate audiences worldwide-from the Mayo Clinic and 238 nursing organizations, to NASA and the Million Dollar Roundtable. She is a 20-year platform professional who is one of only 30 women in the world inducted into the 186-member Speaker Hall of Fame. Arguably the funniest nurse on the planet, Karyn is that rare intersection of expert and performer-a bona fide content expert and masterful speaker-who provides clients practical take-aways presented as professional-level entertainment.
