Like a Comedian
A leadership keynote speaker with experience: That’s Jan!
Get ready to face the inevitable blunders, mishaps, and mistakes that life throws your way, and come out on top! Let funny motivational speaker Jan McInnis show you the ropes with her hilarious humor and captivating tales from her early years in comedy. In her Bouncing Back keynote, Jan will share with you the secrets, tips, and tricks that comedians use to handle, recover, and avoid missteps in the future. You’ll be amazed by how quickly comedians can rebound from a mistake and turn it into a positive! With no “degree in comedy,” they learn their craft by trial and error! But that’s how they know how to keep moving forward and stay in the game. So get ready to learn from the best and laugh along the way!
This keynote includes stories from Jan’s second book titled: Convention Comedian: Stories and Wisdom from Two Decades of Chicken Dinners and Comedy Clubs.

From Attendees at Parks & Rec Association conference
“Jan gave great examples we could all relate to and learn from. A fun way to learn!!! I was impressed with how Jan made the discussion interactive at times with using the chat room during her talk. Kept us all very engaged. Makes you wonder how amazing she’d be in person! • Great ideas that I can take back and implement. • Forgot it was virtual… the laughing out loud might of had something to do with that! • Shared meaningful, useful tips. Enjoyed her enthusiasm. • Good information that I could apply immediately. • Sessions that include humor are always beneficial. Lots of good ideas on how to handle a setback.
