Humour is a state of grace coupled with intelligence.

Convinced of the benefits of humour and laughter, Edna will suggest ways on how to play down problems, situations, to look on the bright side, to take up challenges, to reach for the top, to take advantage of each and every possibility, to be happier, one heartbeat at a time.

Edna A. McGrath

Speaker, Humorist, Motivator

Passionate, fascinating, madly in love with life, a firm believer in the power of humour, she knows how to captivate her audience from the first to the very last second. Edna’s life work is also quite impressive.

The brain is like a parachute, it works better when opened!

Always attentive to the needs of her audience, the success of her conferences is closely related to the knowledge of her subject matter.

A deep understanding of people, broadminded, Edna has rubbed shoulders with people from different cultures and different backgrounds.

Whether she speaks to business people, people in the fields of education, health care, law and order, insurance, to parents, teachers, students, retirees, etc., whatever her audience, each theme is rigorously documented.

“Out of respect for the people who come along to listen to what I have to say, it is my duty to know exactly what I am talking about. It means a very thorough preparation, well documented, expressed with the right touch of humour.”

Love, Humour, Passion. A strong believer in a positive attitude, she will lead you, sometimes even against your will, in her world of love and passion. You will find yourself stomping your feet and clapping. You will be captivated!

Teacher, from Acadia to Australia, passionate defender of battered, unloved children, involved with problem children, she not only showed them affection, discernment, she even took some in.

Founder of a theatre compagny, her plays were sold-out at the Maison des Arts of Laval, etc.

Globe-trotter, a perpetual movement of activities and adventures, she has traveled the world twice, spent three years in Australia, visited more than 30 countries and counting.

Woke up to the sound of the birds chirping merrily in Australia, drove along precipices in New Zealand, visited spectacular sites in Japan and its majestic Mount Fuji, crossed the passes of New Caledonia, gazed at the sunsets in Thailand, moved to tears by the human wrecks of Calcutta, admired the cultural treasures of Europe, and so much more… Edna has lived a life dreams are made of.
