Tired of the same old keynote presentation; a few slides, a few jokes and some stale advice? Why not energize your organization with a unique keynote presentation? Join the many organizations who have benefited from my improvisation based keynote. They will laugh, they will learn, and they will leave the keynote session energized and feeling positive as they head to the first breakout.
While it's true I have enough education to cause cancer in lab rats, (BA, MA, PhD, and JD) and while it's true I present interesting and entertaining conventional keynotes and breakout sessions, what most of my clients like best is the "Power of Laughter" keynote event. Imagine your members working together to create a rock and roll hit; learning the joy of games that seek cooperation rather than conflict; learning about each other and themselves all while sharing laughter. Based on the skills that allow improvisational actors to work together, "The Power of Laughter" will start or end your event with a bang.
Not ready to venture into the unknown? My "Rx For Stress: Laughter Plus Control," will inspire you members to take control of the stresses in their lives, and my "Difficult Conversations" works very well as either a keynote or a breakout.
As a special consideration, if you book a keynote, I will present a breakout session at no extra charge.
Of course I am more than happy to tailor all of my products to meet your specific needs.

All of my presentations draw on my experience as a trial attorney, a college professor, and an award winning amateur actor. In addition to my classroom and trial work I have performed improvisational comedy for over 22 years, and direct an improvisational comedy company. I am a member of the Applied Improvisational Network, an international organization dedicated to the transformational power of improvisation.
