Today’s guest has comedy, storytelling, and strategy in her DNA.

When she was eight years old, her first oral presentation was about Harold Lloyd, Hollywood’s premier comic stuntman and director of the silent film era. Even better, she admits that she mimed and her comedy and storytelling nerd superpowers were visible from space.

She is a keynote speaker, strategist, comedian, and author of several books including, “Stop Boring Me! How to Create Kick-Ass Marketing Content, Products and Ideas Through the Power of Improv.” She is the founder of Keeping it Human, Inc.

Believing we are all wired for creativity, she is passionate about helping teams, leaders, and brands tell human stories, banishes boring marketing, develops great culture, and unleash their creativity for big ideas and results.

Please join me in welcoming Kathy Klotz-Guest.

In this episode we discuss:

• her thoughts on leadership: “Leadership is the ability to evolve your own thinking, whether you have a team or not. I think there is a self-management aspect of it.”
• how business storytelling and comedy are alike.
• her experience with being selected for the debate team in high school and having a mom to advocate for her leadership capabilities.
• when she decided to leave for the corporate world to pursue comedy.
• how she gained referrals to help get rid of any blind spots she had in her business.
