About this Event
Designed for business storytellers, PMETs, entrepreneurs and aspiring storytelling champions.
The Serious Business of Being Funny.
A Masterclass in Humorous Storytelling & Improvisation
Your next big opportunity might begin with a pitch, a presentation, a conversation—or a story worth remembering.
But here’s the million-dollar question:
Are people merely hearing you, or are they connecting with you?
Inspirational speaking moves hearts. Humorous storytelling breaks barriers, builds rapport and energises audiences.
Whether you’re presenting in the boardroom, pitching to clients, influencing colleagues or competing on stage, knowing how to use humour can be your communication superpower.
Join storytelling veterans James & Peishan for an experiential masterclass designed to help you find your funny, sharpen your spontaneity and turn everyday stories into memorable moments.
WHAT YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH
- Storytelling That Sells: Turn everyday experiences and business stories into engaging narratives with humour and impact.
- Humour That Works: Apply practical techniques to capture attention, build rapport and make your messages memorable.
- Improv That Builds Confidence: Think on your feet, respond spontaneously and navigate unexpected speaking moments.
- Authenticity That Connects: Embrace vulnerability, laugh at yourself and overcome the fear of looking foolish.
- Communication Beyond the Stage: Bring purposeful humour into presentations, pitches, meetings, networking and speech contests.
