Nels Ross - Performer, Speaker, Oddball
This video features highlights from Nels' program, "Building Net Mirth: Keys to Greater Joy, Health, and Productivity," as presented at Royalton-Hartland Central School District. It's the perfect staff development program to kick off the school year, jumpstart the calendar year, or refresh any time of the year!
For more than a decade Nels has provided uplifting assemblies and workshops for schools (see arts-in-education) and presented keynotes for all kinds of companies and organizations (see keynotes). Now he's helping more and more teachers, administrators, and others get better "smileage" out of work and life through the power of humor and play.
With his background in education, Nels is happy to tailor presentations to your specific goals, focusing on the laughter-learning connection, humor in the classroom, play with a purpose, and other topics.
Between shows and keynotes his schedule can fill quickly, so contact Nels soon for booking info and available dates.

''Everybody is energized and enthused for the start of school... I have been teaching since 1969; this is the best way to start that I've ever seen... We're so pumped up to teach the kids. It was the best message, and it was just so much fun... I thought this was a great presentation, a really phenomenal way to start the year...''
