Dying with Laughter —The Importance of Shifting Perspective and How Laughter Changed My Life (102)

Despite our differences, one thing we all have in common is death. One way or another, it's going to get each of us. Jeremie has been forced to meditate on that reality and it's had a profound effect on how he approaches life. In this keynote, Jeremie candidly and openly shares his story about growing up with Cystic Fibrosis and how he found laughter to be key as he shifted his perspective from seeing himself as someone who is dying from a fatal disease to someone who has been given the gift of a shortened life expectancy in order to make the most of it.
