LEAD WITH HUMOUR KEYNOTE

You know how you feel after a good belly laugh? Your brain and body flooded with endorphins, recharged, happier. There’s a spring in your step. You feel anything is possible. Imagine amplifying this across your business, team and organisation?

Today humour is the new frontier in influence, engagement and performance. Generating laughs is Southwest Airlines official corporate motto. They test for humour as part of recruitment. 

Humour? You have to be kidding, you might say. ‘I’m not funny!’. Humour in business is NOT joke telling. It’s using ‘Humour Power’. This is a new kind of humour - warm, inclusive, culturally sensitive and uplifiting. Humour power is using humour skilfully and appropriately to connect, engage and inspire.

Humour power can be taught and learnt. No matter what your message, humour helps you stand out and succeed.

This keynote is an invitation to learn how to use humour for unprecedented business success.

It is guaranteed to lower stress, and put a spring in your step, improving your performance and productivity.

And be prepared to laugh all the way there.

THE EXPERIENCE

Audiences will leave laughing, learning and ready to try new ways to make their next communication funnier.

Yamini took our team through a high energy set that had everyone fully engaged from start to finish. Through practical examples and workshopping, we experienced the power of business storytelling, with a combination of both tears and belly laughs as staff shared their stories across the team. An incredible learning experience and one we would highly recommend for capability development and commercial impact.

Our Executive Team at Dental Health Services Victoria had the privilege of a Story Telling Masterclass with the amazing Yamini Naidu. The team came away inspired and able to tell their stories in their own voice. We have been putting our new skill to good use to help join the dots for our teams and create authentic connections. The team rated it the best workshop they have done in decades. Thanks, Yamini.

The ability to create a connection and shared under- standing with another person is a valuable human gift. The art of storytelling is powerful in creating that connection and understanding. Yamini Naidu is a master in the art of helping leaders to build sto- ries that create a vision for the future, creating con- nection and trust. I have worked with Yamini for eight years and I am constantly guided by the princi- ples she taught me as I know it will help me build a compelling message that people can relate to.

Yamini truly captured people's hearts and minds.
Olivia Ruello, CEO, Business Chicks
Yamini spoke at our 2019 conference in June and the feedback overwhelmingly indicated that Yamini should have been a keynote! To address this, we invited her on our August lunch roadshow around Australia and had our biggest numbers in all locations. Yamini’s engaging and humorous style made her stories memorable, complimented by her warm and friendly nature. Her session on storytelling, with examples woven throughout, helped association professionals realise the potential stories can have including demonstrating the value of being a member.
