Keynotes and speaking

A keynote your audience takes part in.

Twenty-five years on set and ten on improv stages taught Jonathan how to hold a room. He uses it to get audiences listening, responding and building on each other, not just watching.

Topics

Talks built for participation.

Each talk can run as a keynote or a shorter interactive session, and every one is tailored to your audience and theme.

  • Off Script

    Why capable teams fall into predictable patterns, and what happens when people respond to the moment instead of the habit.

  • Yes, And at Work

    The improviser's rule for building on someone else's idea, and how it changes meetings, feedback and decisions.

  • The Courage to Contribute

    How leaders make it safe for people to bring something forward before they're certain it's right.

On camera, off script

No script. Still lands.

Jonathan and his Love Thy Neighbor co-star Andre Hall go behind the scenes in an unscripted interview for the Oprah Winfrey Network.
