Certified Laughter Yoga Leader, Chris Graf founded The North Shore Laughter Club in April 2007. The Club currently meets at the Weber Center in Skokie, IL on the second Saturday of each month. Click above on "JOIN LAUGHTER YOGA NORTH SHORE" for details.
In July 2007 Doug Dvorak, a nationally recognized Humorous Motivational Speaker, www.dougdvorak.com announced her addition as CFO (Chief Funny Officer) to his organization www.laughteryogachicago.org. Together they run Laughter Yoga Leader Trainings and conduct seminars and workshops around the nation.
“I am very excited about Chris’ addition to our Leadership Team at Laughter Yoga Chicago. Chris brings a wealth of public and private association and corporate experience to the organization. Everyone is pleased to have her on board.” said Doug Dvorak.
Her wonderful sense of humor, joyful spirit and past experience with the Second City Improv workshops give her the ability to lead a creative and highly energetic interactive Laughter Yoga session. She has brought smiles to the faces of numerous corporate employees, retirement home residents and staff members, health care facility employees, cancer wellness groups, people in elevators, business organizations as well as not-for-profit, and a variety of personal support groups.
Chris resides in Wilmette, IL with her husband Randy, her daughter Hayley, 2 Labrador Retrievers and 2 retired Alley Cats, 2 verbose African Greys and 2 Lutino Cockatiels. All of them were either stray or in need of rescue, with the exception of her daughter.
Admiring her love of animals but nervous as he watched the mounting food and vet bills, her husband begged her to consider channeling her love in a different direction. So in 1998 armed with plastic bags and a pooper scooper she created Animal Instincts, a full time Pet Sitting and Daily Dog Walking service. Today she maintains a client base of over 250 families. Just kidding, closer to 80.
Within her company she has served as President, CEO, CFO, CPS (Chief Pooper Scooper) and TOE (The Only Employee). Though working alone, she has won the "Employee of the Month" award 132 consecutive times. She has also awarded herself the coveted "Salesperson of the Year" trophy 11 years running.
Laugh and the world laughs with you.....
Snore and you sleep alone.
