Mental health speaker
Covering serious topics with a dose of humour
You’ve paid the deposit for a conference venue, sorted catering, and organised the guest list. Then your boss asks you to book a speaker.
“Find someone who has rave reviews. They need to make us laugh,” she says with a wave of her hand.
“But in a way that makes everyone feel good about themselves.”
Gulp.
You have to find a speaker who’s professional, but not so stilted that the audience gets bored.
Insightful, but not off-putting.
Able to connect with the audience, but not smarmy.
Genuinely funny, but never using the audience as a punchline.
That is one tall order.
But don’t worry, we’ve got you.
Mindset, burnout, and corporate culture
Jenny will teach your audience tangible strategies to shift mindset, mood and culture.
Having honed her funny bone through a grief-riddled childhood, Jenny’s on a mission to demonstrate the power of comedy.
She knows, first-hand, the power of laughter to relieve pain and stress and improve mental wellness – even during dark times.
Your audience will learn along the way – and laughter is the tool to help them get there.
If your workforce is feeling anxious and burnt out, you could book them an all-inclusive escape* to a wellness spa in the Maldives…
Deliver nitrous oxide through the air conditioning vents …
OR book Jenny Wynter for a keynote.
* If you do book an all-inclusive team escape, why not include Jenny in the booking? She's always wanted to do a keynote while wearing a sarong.
