Biography

It is for this groundbreaking corporate training that she was recently honoured as a winner of the prestigious “40 Under 40 UK” award and nominated for the “40 Under 40 Global” award, recognising her work in helping organisations preserve their human advantage in an AI-accelerated world.

Claudine’s proprietary framework, The Humour Advantage™, is a battle-tested methodology for dismantling the fear of failure, building psychological safety, and unlocking the collaborative intelligence that AI cannot replicate. Her expertise is trusted by a roster of global giants including Unilever, WPP London, Mercedes-Benz, EY, and Ogilvy.

Her authority is built on a formidable career as a professional comedian and SAFTA-nominated writer, with performances at the world-renowned Comedy Cellar in NYC and features on Netflix, Showmax, and Comedy Central. This rare blend of C-suite-level facilitation and world-class performance ability makes her sessions both profoundly insightful and incredibly entertaining.

"Claudine's session was the catalyst we needed. She proved that authenticity is the new authority. We saw an immediate shift in how these leaders showed up. It was the single most effective investment in practical leadership development we've ever made." HC Business Partner, African Bank

"As technologists, we're naturally skeptical of anything that isn’t data-driven, but The Humour Advantage™ is different. It's a high-speed framework for collaborative innovation... the most effective method I've ever seen for accelerating a team's journey from a raw concept to a powerful, validated idea." Technology Executive & Co-founder, Synthesis Labs

"This was really excellent. Different, but so powerful. It taught me to be myself more and to trust myself more. It was loads of fun." Head of Marketing, BDO

"What Claudine creates is not a 'fun session' — it's a psychologically safe environment where leaders can take risks, speak honestly, and think more creatively without fear of judgment. This level of trust is foundational to high-performing teams." HR Vice President, Unilever

"Speaking to executives, I would freeze up. This course revolutionized the way I communicate. That little voice that says 'you're not good enough' is gone. Soon after, I had to present to 150 people... and people said it was unbelievable. It's improved everything." Compliance Manager, Global Investment Bank

(Ideal for teams needing to boost resilience, speed, and creative output.) Most organisations say they support experimentation; very few train for it. This session reframes failure not as an identity, but as invaluable data. Using the tools of comedy, Claudine creates a psychologically safe environment where teams learn to fail small and learn fast. Participants leave with a powerful toolkit for productive failure, turning potential setbacks into momentum and building a culture that doesn’t just cope with pressure, but performs through it.

(A vital session for leadership teams navigating disruption and the future of work.) As AI handles efficiency, your team’s real value lies in what can’t be automated: human judgment, interpersonal risk-taking, and creative courage. This session installs a framework for teams to challenge ideas without tension, think out loud without penalty, and make decisions faster under uncertainty. Claudine uses high-energy improv exercises to train the mental agility needed to thrive in a world where the true differentiator isn’t data, but how your people behave when the system doesn’t have the answer.
