Leadership Training, Coaching, Advisory

From our research and interaction with senior leaders from around the world, we believe that humor can be studied, practiced and refined – just like negotiation or oratory skills.  

Our training involves a proprietary, analytic approach on how to systematically apply humor to drive successful leadership and a culture that embraces continuous transformation.

SUS training and workshops also involve exclusive insights gained from our research, curation and oversight of the Stand-Up Strategist platform. Our platform provides the filter and analytics to ensure that efforts to apply humor by leaders and organizations accomplish strategic results – rather than merely making people laugh or smile. 

Presentations, workshops and advisory sessions are led by SUS co-founders, whose highly complementary, frontline expertise will help to turbocharge the growth, market leadership, and culture of your organization:

  • Jamie Anderson (global management and creative leadership);
  • Gabor George Burt (business transformation and Slingshot Framework); and
  • Art Reid (deep understanding of internal and external customer engagement strategies).

The Stand-Up Strategist 4 C/S Framework

Leveraging the 4C/S Framework, we guide organizations through the process of strategically applying the powerful benefits of humor to create a strong sense of Community, to maintain Composure in high-pressure environments, to embrace Change, and drive Creativity as the fuel for innovation and growth.
