Reframing Anger Summit Presentation
When Anger Gets a Microphone: How Laughter Reframes the Four Inner Voices
October 1, 2026 - October 30, 2026
About the Presentation
Anger takes many forms. It can be loud and demanding, quietly destructive, or even disguised as logic, creativity, or righteous defiance, often going unnoticed as it influences your actions.
This isn't your typical anger management session. Expect laughter, tears, and at least one moment where you think, "I like this guy. I want to buy him lunch."
In this lively and surprisingly funny session, Applied Humor and Play Professional Malcolm Grissom introduces the Four Inner Voices — the Originator, the Challenger, the Evaluator, and the Saboteur. He explains how these voices shape how we experience, express, and handle anger. More importantly, Malcolm shows how laughter can disrupt the Saboteur, refocus on the Originator, and make emotional intelligence feel approachable and transformative.
You'll leave with a fresh perspective on anger, practical tools you'll remember, and insights that feel like years of therapy — without the price tag.
