Wiser Now, Inc., is a multi-media publishing and staff development company primarily focused on well-being in aging that aims to be practical and lighthearted in everything it produces. As CEO, Kathy Laurenhue is both a trainer/curriculum developer in the long-term care industry and a creator of lighthearted, brain-stimulating exercises for older adults. She produces multi-media materials for clients throughout the U.S. and Australia, and her company is especially interested in establishing B2B relationships as a content provider of playful adult -- but always family-friendly -- exercises that improve waiting experiences in healthcare settings (talk to her about her "Wait-Lifters") and provide interesting calendar-related materials ("Creating Delight").As the author of more than a thousand trivia quizzes, word games, and discussion topics through her MindPlay Connections™ titles, her number one goal is helping people to make new connections IN their brains (keeping their curiosity vibrant) and WITH others as they share their reactions to the exercises. Socialization is a key element of wellbeing, a fact she recognizes in her mantra: Laughter builds rapport. Rapport builds trust. Trust builds relationships. Kathy brings that same spirit to her staff development work, where she is known for her practical advice provided in an upbeat manner. She is also the author of five books, including, Creating Delight – Connecting Gratitude, Humor, and Play, which essentially sums up her life and work goals.
