August 28, 2017Totally Rocked !
It was awesome!. Soooo much fun. Different kind of humor in a really good way, not the old stand up comedy routine, but clean smart funny, good for kids too. If you have some jackass in your life - and who doesn’t have at least one - those rewards totally hit the spot. They are not mean but a funny way to get the point across. For the person(s) in your life that sometimes drives you crazy and you either can’t deck them or know that won’t be effective, an award like that totally hits the nail on the head in way where they actually get. It may or may not be funny for them but it sure as hell was funny for me. Thanks Iris.

August 16, 2017Iris is a Gas!
Iris Barratt is a gas. She is the founder and driving force behind Anonymous Expressions, a web-based company that supplies certificates of recognition which can be sent anonymously to people who deserve recognition of one kind or another. Her web site provides hundreds of alternatives. During her presentation she mixed story telling with humor and grace to bring attention to those around us whose behaviors are both memorable and sometimes troubling. The Beneficial Bull-Shitter award, Cantankerous Old Coot Award, Coercive Co-Worker Award, Dastardly Dirty Old Man Award, Drama Queen of the Universe Award, Judgmental Jackass Award, Master of Con Artistry Award, and Religious Sermonizer Award were handed out to people in the audience who appreciated their candor and humor.
These awards were balanced by the presentation of certificates awarded to those whose efforts contribute so powerfully to the mission of Cancer Wellness House and its clients. These included the Illustrious Instigator Award, Humanitarian Healing Award, Angel of Mercy Award, Elegant Enchantress Award and others which recognize the selfless efforts of those whose contributions made the event so successful.
Iris is a gifted entertainer. She delivers broadsides that are both funny and poignant without offending others. She laughs mostly at herself and makes it comfortable for others to do the same. Her engaging and personal approach works seamlessly in a ‘theater in the round’ environment where she can mix and mingle in an intimate setting with her audience and guests.

April 6, 2017Fabulous anonymous giving!
Anonymous Expressions is a great way to give awards to honor people with generous anonymous giving. The awards are rewarding and insightful. I love the applause when people get awards. The awards make fun of our unwanted behaviors in a healthy way and people enjoy sharing these in a safe way. Iris has experience with groups and teaching classes I enjoyed attending. She has great ideas,. This is a good way to tell the truth people need to hear
