A funny inspirational speaker can help your next event explode with joy!
Why Hire a Humorous Inspirational Speaker Now? You may think you can’t afford laughter now. But look a little deeper. When things are this uncertain, you can’t afford not to bring laughter to your events now.
When the Germans began the Battle of the Bulge in WW2, Allied generals were shocked. At the first meeting, General Eisenhower looked at their dour expressions and said, “There will be only cheerful faces at this table.” That one sentence changed the mood from despair to action.
We are currently experiencing a level of uncertainty not seen since the great recession. Everyone is cutting back waiting to see what happens. In times like this, fear and stress typically stifle innovation and cause a loss of productivity and morale in the workplace.
You see examples in sports. Last season, NY Mets first baseman Pete Alonso felt so much pressure trying to win a long term contract, he had his worst year ever. With the pressure gone, he rejoined the Mets on a short term deal and he’s off to his best start ever. If pressure can have such an impact on a big league baseball player, imagine what it’s doing now to your employees.
That’s why hiring a humorous inspirational speaker is not a frivolous move. Humor can transform a room of stressed individuals into a motivated team, with a renewed sense of possibility. So, while serious presentations can provide necessary foundational knowledge, humor is the emotional glue that can ensure your crucial messages are not just heard but felt and acted upon.
I can cite dozens of scientific studies about how laughter offers a much-needed pressure release valve in the form of endorphins, which is a big word for saying it makes us feel better. But the proof is in the pudding. My clients have actually cited these benefits from my presentations as a funny motivational speaker.
A humorous inspirational speaker may seem like a frill during uncertain times. But history shows this is exactly the time it actually has its greatest value.
The laughter in the room and the atmosphere you created greatly helped our networking and collaboration mission. Your presentation was a great way to build team morale, break down social barriers, and have a few laughs after a long day.

While other bonding and teambuilding activities can cost a small fortune, hiring a top inspirational speaker, will give you the best of both words at a very reasonable fee.
