Over the past ten years performing comedy in corporate, church and club venues, I have attained powerful and hilarious insights I want to share with you. This wisdom will empower you to recognize leadership lessons in unsuspected places, equip you with strategies to combat stress and anxiety and provide tactics to improve workplace productivity. Let’s discover how the combination of “Leadership and Laughter” can catapult your organization to the next level!
I’ve walked into rooms with hundreds of total strangers and within 15 minutes, I am their long-lost friend (my wife wanted me to use “BFF” here). How is this possible? Comedians have the uncanny ability to say what everyone is thinking and even discuss controversial topics with ease. Over the past decade, my stand-up audiences have remained receptive and open-minded to my refreshingly funny yet thought-provoking brand of comedy. In this workshop, I will share the tips and techniques I have learned and empower you to have more comfortable critical conversations.
Most diversity presentations leave the majority group feeling enlightened or guilty, while the minority group is left feeling empty or vindicated.
Why do some members of your team immediately feel right at home and seen, while others feel like guests in someone else’s home and invisible? Would all the members of your team feel comfortable joining you in a foxhole? Research shows that engagement is a key factor that promotes high performance in organizations.
You are enlightened, but now what? We all have some type of privilege, but are we using it to advocate for others without that privilege? Get skills and techniques to cultivate inclusivity.
"Mike Goodwin has been a fantastic speaker for both our students and faculty here at Pinewood. He is powerfully funny, but more importantly, Mike has inspired his audiences to explore their very best personal selves with his intelligent, motivational, and down to earth message. I enthusiastically recommend him as a public speaker to schools everywhere."
Mike was wonderful! We enjoyed having him entertain during our service awards banquet. He sat through the awards presentation prior to his performance and was able to customize his performance to relate to our employees. He kept everyone engaged. He was hilarious!
Mike arrived on time (actually really early) and he was fantastic! We hosted an annual meeting for our credit union and the feedback was positive from our members, staff and board of directors. We would definitely hire him again.
I want to thank you so very much for your wonderful performance yesterday for our Town employees. The staff loved you! I can’t tell you how many people came up to me yesterday and today and told me that they loved you and that you were the best comedian we have ever had (and we have had about 8-9 over the years). You are very talented and we were so impressed. The staff have already asked to have you back for next year!
Oh My Gosh, Mike was perfect. It was a wonderful evening.
