Mental health speaker
Covering serious topics with a dose of humour
You’ve paid the deposit for a conference venue, sorted catering, and organised the guest list. Then your boss asks you to book a speaker.
“Find someone who has rave reviews. They need to make us laugh,” she says with a wave of her hand.
“But in a way that makes everyone feel good about themselves.”
Gulp.
You have to find a speaker who’s professional, but not so stilted that the audience gets bored.
Insightful, but not off-putting.
Able to connect with the audience, but not smarmy.
Genuinely funny, but never using the audience as a punchline.
That is one tall order.
But don’t worry, we’ve got you.
Mindset, burnout, and corporate culture
Jenny will teach your audience tangible strategies to shift mindset, mood and culture.
Having honed her funny bone through a grief-riddled childhood, Jenny’s on a mission to demonstrate the power of comedy.
She knows, first-hand, the power of laughter to relieve pain and stress and improve mental wellness – even during dark times.
Your audience will learn along the way – and laughter is the tool to help them get there.
If your workforce is feeling anxious and burnt out, you could book them an all-inclusive escape* to a wellness spa in the Maldives…
Deliver nitrous oxide through the air conditioning vents …
OR book Jenny Wynter for a keynote.
* If you do book an all-inclusive team escape, why not include Jenny in the booking? She's always wanted to do a keynote while wearing a sarong.

Mindset & Morale
Comedy CPR:
Reviving Morale and Motivation in Stressful Times
Burned-out workplaces lose morale, momentum… and money. This fun, uplifting motivational keynote threads together comedy with Jenny’s LIFT Framework, using learnings from her years as a Clown Doctor about clinically proven tools to elevate mood and wellbeing in the midst of stress. This session leaves audiences with fun and practical strategies to reduce burnout, feel more connected and to help give your workplace a much needed injection of joy!

Proactively seeking out and sharing tiny joyful moments for better connection at home and work;
-
Creating a tailored resource “funny file first aid kit” to boost mood on-the-go;
-
Reframing challenges through a comedic lens to help cope with stress.
Women & Leadership
Speak Up, Sister!
Confidence and Communication for Women
Women, despite having made significant gains, are still statistically less likely to apply for opportunities they see as being beyond them, less likely to speak up at meetings and less likely to reach their career potential.
Speak Up, Sister! is full of laughs but delivers real takeaways for tackling one of the elements at play here: The Gender Confidence Gap. Using The YES! mindset framework, this fun, disarming and practical session gives women - and allies - the tools to challenge this ingrained "no" response and step up, speak out and back themselves boldly.
Backed by two decades thriving as a creative entrepreneur in male-dominated spaces, this session equips participants with real-world strategies to rewrite the script. By the end of this session your people will have practical tools for:
-
Crafting a “cultural conditioning cheat sheet”;
-
Deploying a tool-kit of performance hacks;
-
Enlisting allies to team up, set goals and celebrate wins.
Creativity & Teamwork
Fail Club Confidential:
Comedy Keys To Unlock Growth, Teamwork and Creativity
When people aren’t taking risks or striving for innovation, chances are they feel unsafe. And unsafe teams = stifled teams, which simply cannot excel.
Fail Club Confidential is a fun session which breaks the ice through laughter to deliver the Failure to FAIL-YEAH! framework: comedy-infused tools to build psychological safety, so that people are free to bring their best.
Drawing from her two decades as an award-winning improvisational comedian, this laughter-filled session gets people feeling connected and equips leaders with practical strategies to unlock fearless teams. Your people will leave this session with practical tools for:
-
Kicking off daily meetings with techniques to foster collaboration without fear;
-
Introducing safety signals to encourage bold unpolished ideas;
-
Modelling vulnerability to set the tone for risk-taking.
