Embracing Work-Laugh Balance—The Key to Less Stress & More Success

Look around the average workplace. Go ahead, we’ll wait. You’ll see most employees dealing with the stress of constant change, increased expectations, and having to do more with less.

Well, the bad news is that those stressors are probably not going away any time soon.

But the good news—the awesome news—is that there’s another way to approach them. Another way that successfully removes the stress that accompanies these challenges—and transforms them into coping strategies that set the stage for more success. Strategies that will have you laughing instead of loathing.

Certified Speaking Professional and Hall of Fame Speaker David Glickman will teach you how to discover What’s So Funny About…YOUR Business or Industry. He’ll show you how by simply making a slight shift in the way you approach your challenges, you’ll experience a profound way of handling whatever obstacles you face in your job….as well as the challenges you face outside of work.

David will thoroughly research your business or industry and create a fully customized keynote that absolutely answers the question of “What’s So Funny About…” your group. It’s like having an Off-Broadway musical comedy show all about YOUR attendees.

What’s So Funny About… is not so much a typical general session ‘keynote speech’ as it is a full-blown high-energy one-person show. It’s got observational humor, funny visuals & props, hilarious song parodies, and a big “rock and roll” finish!

One of the lessons of What’s So Funny About… is that Serious Does Not Cancel Fun. And that same lesson should apply when selecting a Keynote Speaker for your event.

Yes, you want to share serious messages with your attendees….but Serious Does Not Cancel Fun. Serious information can still be presented in an entertaining way. And David is the master of imparting valuable strategies to your attendees—strategies that can help them embrace Work-Laugh Balance…..which leads to Less Stress and More Success.

 


In addition to his prepared material, David will also sit through any general sessions that precede his, logistics permitting, and then offer an ‘instant comedic summary’ of the other programs as part of his presentation.

In addition to the entertainment value, this segment of David’s keynote provides a very effective reinforcement of any other messages and themes that have been offered throughout your event.

BEST PLACES TO USE DAVID GLICKMAN

Opening Keynote Speaker—Begin your event with an explosion of laughter and learning! Set the tone for a great agenda by kicking things off with David’s program.

Closing Keynote Speaker—Send your attendees home on a high note, as David’s program ‘leaves them laughing….and learning’ on the way out. A bonus of having David in this position is that he can also do a funny summary of other speakers who presented earlier in your agenda.

After-Dinner Speaker—Whether you want a valuable keynote speech or just entertainment, David can deliver either in this perfect placement for his material. While many keynote speakers do not fare well in this spot, David is able to use his “show business” experience to command an after-dinner (and often drinking) audience for both laughing and learning.

Mid-Afternoon Speaker—It’s 3 pm. And your participants are tired. They’ve been attending sessions since early this morning. And you need them to be recharged. David is the perfect speaker to pick them back up again. He is the “Second Wind Beneath Their Wings.”

Throughout the Agenda—Unlike most speakers who can only present their program in a linear uninterrupted fashion, David is able to break his program into much shorter ‘Mini-Keynotes’ that can stand on their own. These sections of content can each be just a few minutes in length and have both entertainment value and a teaching point. You can leverage this experience by having David also serve as your Master of Ceremonies. (See below.)

Ensuring Your Entire Event Is Presented Professionally, Punctually & Hilariously

How David Can Help You As Your Emcee:

  • He is your event ‘safety net’ should anything go astray.  He remains in the room the entire time – ready to solve any problems or jump on stage to take over the reins.
  • He controls the flow of your agenda, facilitates all introductions and announcements, and keeps your event running smoothly.
  • He can interview your executives on stage, moderate panel discussions, and facilitate Q & A.
  • He can work with your less-seasoned presenters to help them prepare and deliver their presentations more effectively.
  • He can immediately launch into another program if one of your other presenters goes short or is a no-show.
  • He can serve as a hilarious Auctioneer, should your event have any items to be auctioned off for a fund-raiser.
  • He has also served as the meeting planner for events, conferences and conventions, for as many as 1,300 people – so he has much of the same knowledge as your Meeting Planner and can work easily with them.
  • He guarantees consistency for the agenda and hilarity throughout the entire event for the audience.

David Glickman has more on-stage experience as a Master of Ceremonies than any other Keynote Speaker working today.

In his years of owning comedy clubs, he strategically positioned himself in the Emcee position.  This allowed him to control the flow of the program, complement the material of the other performers, adjust the energy level of the program as necessary, and ‘save’ the show if there were any comedy ‘disasters’.

He also used those years of stage time as Emcee to refine his skills and learn the art & science of the role. (And anyone who doesn’t believe that emceeing is both an art and a science hasn’t done it very much.)

When David transitioned from “show business” to “speech business” he was able to take those highly-developed skills as a Master of Ceremonies to the corporate stage.

Since that time, many meeting professionals have experienced the amazing value and benefits of having David serve both as a Keynote Speaker and as the Master of Ceremonies for the entire event.
