A comedy set lasts no more than 20 minutes but so much goes on behind the scenes before that set sees the light of day. How can applying parts of the comedian's craft help us in our own workplace? In this fun (of course), informative, and sometimes surprising session, Mel will focus on the importance of Creativity, Confidence and Conscience, that’s how we make other people feel. This is a huge part of workplace happiness). We'll talk about humour, too, and very probably have some laughs. And you’ll take away some techniques you can use at work straight away.

I am an award-winning comedian, a writer, speaker trainer and passionate old movie fan. I spent many years working in the publishing industry before jumping ship to pursue the work I truly love. The two areas I speak on are workplace culture and, you guessed it, old movies. In all cases I deliver talks from a position of great passion for my topic and always with plenty of humour. I travel all over the UK performing comedy and have appeared at numerous festivals, including the Edinburgh Fringe. I regularly talk about workplace culture to groups of businesspeople and to networking groups. Podcast appearances include Sticky From the Inside and The Cashflow Show. I co-host the Talking Pictures TV podcast and have written many articles on classic film-related topics for Yours Retro magazine. In addition, I am often asked to introduce film screenings. I am also a highly experienced comedy MC and am available to host and facilitate team away days, conferences etc. ‘May just make your day’ (Scotsman) ‘Sixty Minutes of Inspired Comedy’ (Lancs Post) ‘Highly recommended. A total tonic at our event. Just what we all needed.’ (Athena Networking) ‘You’ve awakened a whole new world for me.’ (Faversham Fringe Audience Review) ‘More from Mel, please.’ (Westminster Library Talk Attendee)
