Do you want to know how to be funny and compelling? Well I'll let you in on a little secret - Jon Macks. Jon will show you how humor can help you lead your organization. Jon can show your group how to use humor to make a point, to keep your audience riveted, give yourself confidence. If anyone in your group is afraid of public speaking, Jon Macks I swear to you, is the man who can show you how humor can pave the way. He will tell you how to be funny in your presentations, meetings, at work, and not get cancelled. Jon has spent so much time in his career immersed in politics, writing for some of the most important politicians of our era as well as his 25 years as writer on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. So who's better equipped to discuss how, for example, late night TV changed American politics and culture, or how humor in general can help you lead your organization.

Besides being just a brilliant political strategist, he also understands HR and in this HR world we live in now, that's the most important thing. Jon knows whether you're writing for presidents, other political leaders, athletes, corporate heads, the jokes you don't tell are as important as the ones you do.
