Humour is a consequential tool for thinking clearer, connecting meaningfully, and recovering from setbacks. Laughter opens the door to creativity, strengthens relationships, and helps teams and individuals stay engaged and resilient under pressure. In a world that can be heavy, uncertain, and stressful, it’s important to have hope and be grounded in our humanity — and humour can lead the way!

In this talk, Julie Kim, one of Canada’s top stand-up comedians and storytellers who brings deep experience from both the corporate and academic worlds, offers practical approaches for infusing more lightness and fun into everyday life — at work, at home, and beyond.

Audiences will leave feeling uplifted and empowered with actionable ways to lean into humour and lightness, foster connections, and approach challenges with fresh perspectives.
