Christine Clifford Beckwith is an internationally recognized expert on overcoming adversity through humor, as well as a popular deliverer of Selling the Invisible Presentation. A former monthly columnist of Professional Speaker magazine, Christine is a Certified Speaking Professional, a designation accorded only seven percent of all professional speakers.
Her experience taught her how to market and sell products, services and
herself. Now, Christine Clifford Beckwith shares that message with
others. Christine Clifford Beckwith has definitely cracked “the glass
ceiling.” At the age of 40, she was Senior Executive Vice President for
SPAR Marketing Services, an international merchandising and information
services firm in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She currently serves as the CEO/President of The Cancer Club and Sales Director for Beckwith Partners.
My $.02: The quought and the explanation are just fantastic. We are all at loss of words when something bad happens to someone close to us. If you have faced that problem, think about Christine’s question and you may have an answer.

Christine’s thoughts on the Quought:
When friends and family learn that someone is facing adversity, they often don’t know what to say. They don’t want to say the wrong thing, so they often end up saying nothing. Humor is a great connector of people. It breaks down communication barriers and puts people at ease. So the next time you hear bad news from someone you care about, ask yourself, “Is there a way to make this person laugh, if even for a moment?” A shared gift of laughter is a priceless gift to the spirit.
