About
Resilience/Laughter/Hybrid Leadership is a motivational speaker for hire in Melbourne, VIC.
A laughter session is a strange thing to put on a conference agenda, and that's the appeal. This Melbourne presenter runs one as an opener that starts the day with a bang, or as a closer that sends people out on a high, and either way the room ends up on its feet and joining in. The wider work covers resilience, hybrid leadership, change management, communication and wellbeing. It's pitched as a big conversation from the stage rather than an expert talking down from a podium, built on stories with practical steps people can actually use on Monday. MC work is available alongside the keynote. Needs are minimal: a hands-free mic and a platform high enough that everyone can see. A Working with Children Check is held.
The show
Expect stories, and plenty of them, delivered as a big conversation with the room rather than a lecture from behind a podium. There are laughs in it. There's also advice people can actually pick up and use, which is a rarer thing on a conference agenda than it should be. The laughter session is the odd one out and the one that lands hardest, whether it opens the day or closes it.
On the day
Nothing complicated at all. A hands-free microphone, so both hands stay free and the presenter can move rather than being pinned to a lectern. And a stage or platform high enough that the back row can see properly, which matters more for a laughter session than it does for a standard keynote, because people need to see what they're joining in with.
Performance options
The MC role and the keynote can be booked together as one engagement, which is often the sensible move for a conference. The same person opening the day, holding the room between sessions and delivering the main talk means the thread through the programme is consistent, and there's one fewer performer to brief. Get in touch about combining the two and it gets sorted before anything else is locked in.
