Audience connection, Practical Solutions, Hilarious Humor
For over 25 years Jan McInnis has traveled the country as a keynote speaker and comedian sharing unique and practical tips on how to use humor in business (yes it’s a business skill!). She’s written for the Tonight Show monologue as well as many other people, places and groups – radio, TV, syndicated cartoon strips, guests on the Jerry Springer show (her parents are proud!). The Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, and the Huffington Post have all feature her in articles on clean humor, so no worries there. And she is author of two books “Finding the Funny Fast: How to Create Quick Humor to Connect with Clients, Coworkers and Crowds,” and “Convention Comedian – Stories And Wisdom From Two Decades Of Chicken Dinners And Comedy Clubs.” Jan also has a new podcast available through itunes titled “Comedian Stories – Tales From the Road in Under 5 Minutes.”
The lightning-fast pace of change is staggering to many leaders, organizations, and some members of your teams. Rapid, continuous change often results in fear, tension, and miscommunication. What are some practical tips that can help leaders in difficult times? Jan has spoken across the country on the use of humor in organizational leadership. Your attendees will learn how to diffuse tension instantly, initiate tough conversations, and facilitate communications through using humor. They’ll walk away laughing and learning about dealing with change in a memorable way.

Thank you for helping to make our conference a success. Your presentation Finding the Funny demonstrated to our staff the health benefits of laughter and how to use it in a professional setting to introduce tough conversations and assist in getting a point across. During your presentation, you kept our staff engaged and your energetic delivery was contagious. We appreciate you joining us for breakfast and taking time to learn more about our organization. Tying some of our day-to-day procedures into your presentation added a nice touch, which was appreciated.
Your comedy routine was one of the highlights of the conference and you really helped to get things started off on the right foot. You took the time to research your audience and prepared your material accordingly, and you had the whole room laughing nonstop. I want to personally thank you for making me look good.
