Human Transformation
Kathy Klotz-Guest, a former tech exec (15 years), stand-up comedian and comic improviser, is a humorous, interactive keynote speaker focusing on human transformation. With a blend of powerful storytelling, improvisation and humor – hey, human IS human – her talks will have you laughing, learning and feeling inspired to create change.
NEW! Kathy’s keynote for 2022: Truth and Transformation are Hard; Humor Shouldn’t Be
Change IS hard because the truth often is.
What if we had a way to look at the gaps in our lives – the big, hard truth gaps – with more compassion, humor and laughter? We can. It’s time we reframe the power of truth, transformation and the role of humor in helping us FEEL the changes we need to make.
This talk is a fun-filled, interactive call to imagine a world where all of us – every employee, leader and company – become the truth-tellers we need to be in our own lives. To choose humor is to choose honesty, humanity and compassion over fear and denial. Instead of fearing humor as ‘being funny,’ let’s embrace humor as compassionate, actionable truth. It starts with each of us.
