Jan McInnis has brought her humor and practical workplace strategies to technology professionals
across the country, helping audiences navigate the very human challenges
that come with a fast-changing industry.
Finding the Funny in Change
In technology, change isn’t occasional, it’s part of the job. From new technology and AI to shifting priorities and workplace expectations, professionals are constantly adapting. This engaging keynote shows attendees how appropriate humor can be a practical tool for navigating change and keeping people engaged along the way.
Bouncing Back: Handling Setbacks Like a Comedian
Innovation rarely happens without a few wrong turns along the way. This humor-filled resilience keynote gives technology professionals a fresh perspective on recovering from setbacks, adapting when things don’t go as planned, and continuing to move forward.
Finding the Funny in Communications
Even in a technology-driven workplace, successful communication is still about people. This lively keynote shows technology professionals how to use appropriate humor to connect with others, make complex or serious messages more engaging, and help those messages stick.
Jan will show your group how to deal with the changing challenges such as:
AI and Automation
Smaller Budgets
Getting People To Listen to You
Changing Regulations
Wearing More Than 1 Hat
Shifting Priorities
“After three full days of heavy educational content, Jan delivered a funny, entertaining and value-packed keynote on the final morning of our conference. Our attendees definitely came away having Found the Funny in Change, with real life takeaways they could use in their work lives. It’s the first time we’ve had people laugh hysterically and also find value in the presentation.”

“We invited Jan back for a second year to deliver a final morning conference keynote. The first year our attendees “Found the Funny in Change”. This year they took away lots of ideas for using humor in business (Finding the Funny in Communications). They laughed while they learned about developing humor quickly and working through guidelines for keeping out of trouble when using humor.”
“Thank you so much again for coming out last minute and speaking to our group. Everyone really enjoyed it and it was the perfect way to fill our business content.”
“On behalf of the HFTP Education Advisory Council, I want to thank you for your participation as a presenter at the Club & Hotel Controllers Conference in Los Angeles, CA. The conference was very successful and the education program received good reviews!”
Other comments from HFTP conference:
• Great start to the event! Great Choice!
• Entertaining!
• Great presentation! Excellent job!
• Funny but kept on track, informative
“Wow! I don’t know where to begin. We loved you! You were fantastic for our group. I don’t think anyone expected to be laughing so hard at the end of a long day. Your act is beyond hilarious. If I watched you do it all over again today, I’d laugh just as hard. Thank you for taking the time to tailor your material just for our audience, who had tears in their eyes and were doubled over.”
“Jan McInnis was the keynote speaker at our recent conference in Anaheim. She did a fantastic job! Her jokes were great and her sense of humor resonated with the audience. Not only did we laugh heartily, but we gained insight into how to use humor to improve communication, particularly in the workplace. As the organization president and conference host, I was also pleased that Jan was punctual, professional and organized. I heartily recommend Jan and would enjoy having her present to our organization again in the future.”
“Jan was a SUPERB ending to our NMHIMA fall conference. She kept us all engaged, laughing, and sent us away on a high note!”
“Hey Jan! Thanks for a great keynote speech and kick off to our annual FHIMA convention. In all my 25 years of HIM experience, I’ve not seen a large group of HIM professionals walk out of a meeting with such smiles on their faces. Your presentation was witty and enjoyable! I love your book- each time I pick it up to read, I’ll be thinking of you and our Tuesday morning hour of laughter! Thanks.”
“Jan we were very pleased and honored to have you speak for us at our IaHIMA conference, I was very nervous about the keynote speaker, as everyone is I suppose that they made the right choice, but right off the bat you were a breath of fresh air and easy to talk with. Then I heard lots of laughter from the meeting room so I tore myself away from work and went in and listened, and you were truly delightful and we had many people love your presentation. I would recommend you to anyone anytime.”
“Thank you for sharing your materials with us and being a fabulous keynote speaker at our conference. I hope to stay connected for continued inspiration!”
“Thank you again for providing the keynote address at the California Health Information Association’s annual convention. You worked hard to make sure that you understood our audience before the event and it showed. Your sense of humor and remarks were on target with our members – many commented to me that they could really relate to your stories. Your keynote was the perfect kickoff for our 60th anniversary convention. Let me know if you need any references for future events – I am happy to recommend you to any group.”
“Hi Jan, I very much enjoyed both of your presentations last week at the FHIMA convention. If you could, please forward the 2 power points to me I would be very appreciative. I look forward to using information from your book at a HIM department staff meetings in the near future. Thanks for sharing your humor.”
