  Humor Me: 5 Keys to Mining Comedy Gold

  For many, just thinking about developing comedy will make them want to breathe heavily into a paper bag. I get it! The good news is that everyone is funny. The bad news is that often it’s not on purpose. (Womp, womp. Tip your server. I'll be here all week.)

  However, I want you to know that there are secrets to making a room full of people laugh that do not require years of being on the road as a stand-up comic. Absolutely anyone can find the funny -- on purpose -- using these key secrets.

  If you thought that there was little or no hope for your sense of humor or comedy writing, I'm here to dispel that myth. Join Lisa for this session where you will discover how to take your keynote from blah to brilliant using five keys for mining comedy gold.

  The Million Dollar Tipping Point

  What does it take to build a speaking-centered business that generates $1M+ of annual review?  How do you multiply your best clients and build multiple streams of income?
