Nobody tries to fail, but sometimes things go “not as planned,” and recovery is rough. Comedians know this more than anyone because they have a very high-profile job. And when they flub up, or something goes wrong, the issue needs to be fixed fast and on the spot. Jan gives tips on how to handle, avoid, and move through these situations. Don’t let mistakes and mishaps hinder your future success!  This keynote is based on Jan’s new book, Convention Comedian:  Stories and Wisdom from Two Decades of Chicken Dinners and Comedy Clubs.

In order to accomplish anything, you need to be heard and remembered! Humor works.

This keynote combines Jan’s humor along with some easy-to-implement techniques that anyone can use to inject humor into their communications. Jan has written for everything from The Tonight Show monologues to radio, greeting cards, and CEOs – but this is not just about joke writing. She uses examples from your industry to demonstrate how to create and use humor that works. This is based on her book Finding the Funny FAST: How to Create Quick Humor to Connect with Clients, Coworkers & Crowds.
