After 30 years performing as a bilingual comic, writer, and host speaker, this University of Montreal business graduate (B. Comm., Marketing / management) and creative writing teacher at the National Comedy School, who also won 7 prestigious “Olivier” awards and a Gemini award for his work in comedy, Sylvain Larocque has now decided to share his unique set of experiences with the business world via his entertaining and informative conference: “Comedy inc.”.

Comedy inc.

How so? By giving the members of your organization a “comedy toolkit”. After attending his lecture, you will realize how comedy is a powerful way, accessible to all, to increase efficiency on all levels of your business.

When well utilized, comedy can be used to minimize the impact of bad news; to boost themorale of your troops; to improve team spirit as well as to reinforce relationships with both your customers and business partners. It will also, of course, help you extend your network. Shared laughter generates immediate complicity between humans and puts you on the fast lane to generating trust.
