The Fun Is Always on the Other Side of a Yes πŸ˜ƒ Center Stage: Joel Zeff

At The Keynote Curators, we’re constantly curating fresh and exciting keynote speakers with ideas worth sharing. Today’s spotlight is on Joel Zeff, improvisational humorist, author, actor, and emcee.

πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦ Children have an innate ability not to overthink things. They believe dreams come true, make decisions faster than a jackrabbit, and display an endearing sense of wonder. That inquisitive nature and agility to answer questions quickly and from the heart seem to fade as we grow up.

πŸš‚ There’s something to be said about the beauty of spontaneity and trusting your decisions. As adults and professionals, we often let our thoughts get in the way and second-guess ourselves too much. Improv is an excellent way of forcing someone’s hand (or your own) to make a decision and see where the ride takes you.

Joel Zeff, a renowned motivator, lifelong humorist, and improvisational actor, uses improv to create hilarious interactive exercises to strengthen leadership skills and reignite the spontaneity spark in all of us. From center stage, he illustrates a central message–– that organizations and individuals should celebrate everyday successes to increase collaboration, productivity, passion, and innovation.

🎀 Leadership, like improv, doesn’t come with a script. People encounter unknowns daily; how they handle curveballs speaks volumes and defines their leadership style. Improv teaches people to take risks, listen carefully, read cues, work with others, and trust their instincts.

For over 25 years, Joel has inspired audiences from well-known brands such as Wells Fargo, Samsung, KPMG, and the IRS. (Yes, the IRS has a sense of humor.) A masterful public speaker, Joel will demonstrate the power of improv in creating a culture where employees have more fun at work, leading to greater employee engagement, satisfaction, and retention.
