Biography

Tim Clue is a top motivational speaker for those in education; a speaker who can help our school teachers relax, laugh and remember the joy of why they are teachers. This acclaimed industry keynote and presenter has been used for staff days, in-service programs, professional seminars, convocations, continuing education programs, beginning of the year school kick offs and end-of-the-year celebrations for school districts, colleges, universities and educational gatherings of all kinds.

Tim managed to carve out a comedy career on the national circuit, working with many well-known comics such as Jerry Seinfeld, Steven Wright and Larry Miller. And Tim’s standup can be heard alongside those and others on XM/Sirius Satellite Radio’s comedy channels.

In 2005, his stage play “Leaving Iowa” premiered at Jeff Daniels’ Purple Rose Theatre Company during which it received a nomination for American Theatre Critics’ award for Best New Play in the country, was soon thereafter published and is currently performed in theaters all over the U.S. and Canada.

So it turns out that comedy, improv, writing, directing and teaching are not such strange bedfellows. Tim has synthesized his calling as a thought leader in motivational speaking, reinventing conferences one funny experience at a time. As he often says, “If you want them to hear it, tell them. If you want them to remember, make them laugh.”

Tim has been privileged to speak before such notables as former President George H.W. Bush and economist Paul Krugman and continues to expand his role as a speaker and facilitator, magnifying the art of connection and extolling the virtues—and what Tim feels is the necessity—of finding Comfort in Discomfort.
