Keynote Speakers
Confidence at the Speed of Laughter: Leaving your Creative Footprint
Katy McEwen
Associate Artistic Director
Brave New Workshop
Tuesday
Katy draws on her extensive experience in the improvisational comedy theater world and shares how professionals can use the concepts behind improvisation to improve their ability to influence others and win support for their ideas. This highly entertaining keynote is sprinkled with plenty of humor, while highlighting the key learning points:
-
Say “Yes, and…!” to yourself and trust your wit and skill to put your ideas forward and declare a clear point of view regardless of the hostility of the environment.
-
Make a clear choice and commit to your ideas: if you don’t believe in them how can others?
-
Be your best self and embrace who you are as a person and professional.
