A Keynote that Educates and Entertains.
With storytelling and humor at the center.
As a professional storyteller and stand-up comedian, I put humor at the center of my motivational keynote.
Whether it’s poking fun at my own mistakes or reflecting on my own privileges, I use humor as a tool to disarm the “devil’s advocates”.
By making myself the butt of the joke, it helps set the audience at ease and showcase the value of inclusive leadership. I guarantee a laugh - or at least a groan - with every speech!
“Shut up so they don’t shut down.”

The greatest challenge decision-makers can overcome to lead inclusively is creating space. It’s about using your power to empower others to share their voices and challenge the status quo.
– Dr. Anthony Giannoumis
Anthony’s ideas on inclusive leadership have been featured in keynotes, books and research used by organizations across Europe.
