Biography

Jack Milner shows you how to use humour and fun to help organisations transform their culture, communication and creativity and so improve their BUSINESS PERFORMANCE.

Whether that’s bringing people back into the workplace, making your work culture something people genuinely want to embrace, helping organisations unleash their creative potential so they can grow in challenging times, or communicate their brand so it stands out from the competition, Jack will help you free your funny.

His talks inspire and motivate workforces to help businesses discover that by having more fun, they can be more profitable. You won’t be surprised to hear that Jack’s talks are very funny, incredibly energising (so Jack is often chosen for the post lunch speaking slot), but also motivating and uplifting.

Jack understands that Fun and humour are gold for business. The most successful teams and leaders have fun at their centre and in a time of crisis, humour is truly our best mate. The data overwhelmingly supports this.

His approach to helping safely embed humour and fun into the workplace is highly valued by a wide range of businesses, including: Google, TikTok, Microsoft, Cisco, Ofsted, Commerzbank, McCann, Worldwide Hotels, NHS, Innocent, M&S, Unilever and Samsung. He is an associate lecturer for Ashridge Hult and Asia Business School/MIT.

Jack is also one of the most versatile and prolific creators on the London comedy scene and for many years has pursued simultaneous careers as a director, writer, comedy actor, facilitator and producer in theatre, television, film and radio. He has participated in over one hundred productions, both on stage and behind the scenes, with notable success in all fields. His co-written comedy Octopus Soup recently completed a highly successful number one tour of the UK, and is currently running in one of Prague’s most prestigious theatres.

Jack has run comedy workshops for The National Theatre, Channel 4 and ITV, amongst many others. He has also run over 1,200 comedy and stand up workshops.

“I am delighted with the success of our kick-off. Comedy added such a buzz, ensured this was a successful event… a brilliant team to bring something completely different to a company conference.” John Jester, VP Microsoft Sales, Microsoft

”I just wanted to say ‘Thank you’ for being with us on Monday and doing such an amazing Improv session with the team. It fitted perfectly into our agenda, giving us a different perspective on approaching communication and problem solving in our roles. But what was more important, it really helped the team members to bond and feel connection with each other. Everyone had a lot of fun and simply loved it! I only wish we had more time together.” Polina Zharkova, Strategy Director, Unilever

Our sessions with Jack far exceeded my expectations. I knew it would be a good talk, but it ended up being sensational. For a room of talented and accomplished communicators to be sitting on the edge of their seats eager to hear more is something. Jack’s presentations introduced a new way of communicating, one that is especially useful in challenging conversations and interaction.“ Sarah Alsager, Foodlfuence conference

“I was really impressed with the way comedy helped even the most timid grow in confidence. This session will vastly improve the whole agency’s presentation style.” Michel Dubery, WPP Healthcare

Jack has coached many of the world’s top speakers and brands in using humour to communicate and inspire audiences and customers.
Using principles and tools from teaching leading comedians from stand up and comedy improvisation, Jack Milner’s very funny talks help organisations agility in thinking on their feet when working with the media, their confidence in using humour techniques to grow their brands, as well as humour creation tools in enhancing messaging.

He will also share the humour tools used by leaders to build connection, respect and followship.
High energy and very funny talk. Warning: some of this is also interactive and very silly indeed! If you’d prefer something dull and windy with lots of slides, this is not for you.
Free Your Funny - Team Building and Culture
Jack inspires participants to take the serious things seriously, while taking themselves lightly and therefore gaining the skill of approaching challenges with a “can do” and cooperative attitude.

Jack inspires participants to take the serious things seriously, while taking themselves lightly and therefore gaining the skill of approaching challenges with a “can do” and cooperative attitude. When this ability is developed within an individual, that individual can then support teammates and co-workers to efficiently problem solve, work together and stay on track because ‘negativity’ is suddenly a non-option.

Some of the wonderful scientific and undeniable benefits of laughter covered in this interactive session:
– Using humour to deal with the ups and downs of life.
– What gets in the way of humour.
– The 3 stages of humour: (levity, fun and comedy) and how we can all do it!
– Using “accept and build”comedy improvisation behaviours to develop a stronger team.
– Comedy creation – laughing together.
– Creating your own comedy show (only available upon request and as part of longer event).
