How to use comedy as a coping mechanism and a diplomacy tool, and how to harness your creativity to build confidence.

Workshop Outline

Learning Objectives:

1. Why using humour can help “soften the blow”

2. How to write a joke and frame difficulties through the lens of humour

3. How to frame ‘bouncing back’ or resilience as creativity and how to extend personal grown as an opportunity to express yourself

4. Mastering public speaking and why this can aid in building assertive practices

With a background in academia studying a dual degree in law/journalism and a proficiency for public speaking that has seen Steph become a representative for various discussion panels as well as keynote talks, corporate MCing roles and mentorship roles, her warm and relatable speaking skills have allowed her to channel her talents to empower others.

Steph’s workshops aim to address various issues that ignite self-doubt in its participants, with a focus on resilience, reflection and moving forward by utilising effective forms of expression through comedy. Comedy is a valuable medium to help break down any barriers participants have. In this way, humour can be used to relate, express and cope with complex situations. If pain is the basis of the shared human experience, then comedy, which is seemingly the antithesis, is best born from those experiences and as the foundations for effective diplomacy and communication.
