Climate Comedy
"There's perfect and there's perfect - and that was perfect!"
David Cooper, Chief People Officer, Circle Health Group
on Stuart's Resilience Session
Having delivered my "Comedy and Resilience" session to organisations like Aviva and Hg Capital, Morgan Sindall, eBay and LEGO, I'm proud to present my brand new session about personal sustainability in the face of climate anxiety!
It's a 25-30 minute presentation packed with jokes that expose and alleviate the shared dread and anxiety we can all feel when faced with the climate crisis.
As a comedian, I'm adept at "saying the unsayable" in exactly the right tone. Your Sustainability team briefs me privately beforehand so you can let me know the specifics of your climate messaging, and together we can reinvigorate your internal sustainability comms!
(We might even be able to drop in some specific CTAs or messages that you can refer back to at your next budget meeting with the top brass!)
"Having Stuart perform his climate comedy presentation for our Earth Day celebrations was a fantastic way to engage our workforce in the important issues of sustainability."
"Comedy is such an effective and accessible tool to convey some of the startling facts about climate change and send out a call to action, without making people feel like they’re being lectured to."
"Stuart’s clever curation of the presentation leaves you feeling upbeat, motivated for change and with hope for the future."
Dee Davison,
Global Director of Sustainability, Deluxe

"The most inspiring talk I've had in years!"

on Stuart's Resilience Session
"Stuart was excellent and the feedback I have received from the team has been really positive. I am delighted with how the session went and we definitely made the right choice.
"The topic was very on point and resonated really well with the group, and without question, Stuart delivered it incredibly well. I (and the team) were really impressed that Stuart could hold the audience with such engagement in a virtual environment for his 45 minute session – the time flew by!"

Authenticity
This talk is suited to executives but would benefit anyone who wants to discover a public persona which is resonant and real, rooted deeply in their self, but which is flexible enough to accommodate difficult people and situations.
We cover consistency, managing risk, and selecting what to share, as well as examining the difference between specific high profile comedians: who they are is very different, but how they are is more similar...
“He hit the nail on the head with the topic. His delivery was faultless, informative and funny too. He has a real knack for making the participants feel at ease and open up. It’s not an easy gig delivery a virtual presentation to CEOs across the globe. We would thoroughly recommend Stuart for any event; I certainly could watch him every night of the week!”
- Kasia Joniec - HG Capital
"We booked Stuart Goldsmith to deliver his talk on resilience at our first face to face company event after lockdown. Stuart was brilliant; he nailed the brief, and the balance of meaningful content and humour was perfect for our audience. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for an uplifting and engaging speaker, especially if you are looking for something more original and entertaining than the usual ‘motivational talks’."
- Jo Matkin, CEO, Celsus Group
