"He helps staff and managers have more FUN while preserving the integrity of the work they do and the lives they lead. I know from the evaluations and from the comments I continue to receive from library staff members that you made this one of the best staff training events ever. I’d like to thank you for being so conscientious. You did more than any speaker I’ve worked with to find out about the library – what we do and who we are – and that homework made your keynote particularly relevant to everyone in the audience."

Ron offers keynote addresses, seminars, emcee services for special events and presentation skills coaching. Unfortunately, his services do not include singing or group hugs. They do include stories, information, inspiration and lots of humor.

WHY RON CULBERSON?

HE’S AN EXPERT. He has been studying and teaching about the benefits of humor since 1984. Your attendees will see how they can use humor as a tool to cope with stress, manage conflict, become more creative, improve problem solving and ultimately achieve a higher level of productivity and contentment in their jobs and personal lives. They’ll begin to see their glasses laugh full!

HE’S FUN AND FUNNY. He will make the learning process enjoyable. Most conferences and meetings offer extremely valuable programs on topics that are specifically targeted to those in attendance. However, the programs are typically delivered by industry experts who are not professional speakers. With nearly a decade of experience as a full-time professional speaker as well as my expertise in humor, Ron brings a potent combination of style and substance to his presentations. In other words, you’ll get an expert with pizzazz!!

"It was obvious from your presentation that you had a working knowledge of our organization. We delighted in the way you wove wisdom in with your humor. You superbly related to each participant, making the material come alive to everyone who was fortunate enough to have been present to hear your delivery. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of your presentation was the human element."- Gerard R. Kelly, PhD - US Department of Veterans Affairs

HE’LL GET TO KNOW YOU. Ron Culberson will talk with several attendees before the presentation to familiarize himself with their particular work challenges. He uses that information to design a program that connects with the audience and lets them know he understands. Whereas he does not promote himself as an expert in your industry, he will help your attendees use humor to make their work more FUNctional!

HE’LL MAKE YOUR JOB EASIER. As a professional speaker, Ron Culberson is accustomed to working with conference and meeting professionals and you can rest assured he will prepare and deliver a quality presentation, making you and your conference a success. He’ll be there early. He won’t require green M & M’s in his dressing room. Heck, he doesn’t even require a dressing room. And most importantly, he won’t eat too much of your continental breakfast!
