Marilyn Grey was born in Portland Oregon in a year somewhat prior to the current one.  Despite behavior and appearance to the contrary, she was raised as a human being. She graduated from Central Washington University with a Bachelor's Degree in English and a Master's Degree in School Psychology. Marilyn went on to teach high school for one remarkably unsuccessful year.  Next she became a school psychologist. She first worked with school children and later with adults in a Wellness and Employee Assistance Program. During this time she began teaching at the University level.   Additionally Marilyn began speaking for any group who had not carefully read their agenda and believed her to be part of the event.  Gradually she was able to insert her own name in the program and has spoken before more than a million people across the United States, Canada and Australia. Whether speaking on Laughter, Change or Stress Management she is her own best audience, always finding herself entertaining. Others are reported to join her in that reaction but remember the report is hers. Marilyn has written a book, gone hot air ballooning, plays golf and bridge, and practices nonsense of all kinds.  She is an astonishing success in her own eyes and is having a world of fun being alive on this planet.
