The Buzz
We have lost track of the number of attendees who commented that your presentation was the best part of the conference. Your portrayal was done in good humour, sensitive to boundaries and most importantly in a refined manner that everyone found amusing. Everyone laughed and left the conference with a feeling of levity and inspiration. Mission accomplished!

I have had the pleasure of hearing Paul Huschilt entertain at two conferences. I was so impressed after the first one that I hired him for the second one. In both instances Paul provided a highly entertaining and unique presentation. Paul was able to summarize and humorize key moments and experiences the audience shared in surprising, lyrical, and musical ways. Paul is able to hold his audience's attention, relate to their experiences, and make them laugh hard.
Paul does a remarkable job of researching the most recent happenings of an event, translating them in a hilarious way, and telling them back to his audience so that they all ask themselves, "how did he know that?" as they strain through their laughter. I would not hesitate to hire Paul again.

Your presentation was humorous and fun and thought provoking. It was the perfect plenary to finish off the day before our banquet since it succeeded at elevating the mood of the participants for a fun-filled evening. Many positive comments were received and participants were particularly impressed that your presentation flowed fluently in both official languages.

Paul's High energy and funny presentation "Seven Humour Habits for Workplace Wellness", was exactly what was needed to set the tone for a day of recognition and learning. His varied background and talents made for a motivating presentation that was creative and artful.
Brock University
Paul created a customized musical story that captured the challenges staff face in their jobs as well as highlighting the learnings of the retreat. In fact, staff members are still talking about the fact that he was able to take notes during the sessions than then write his script based on what had taken place. His presentation "Seven Humour Habits for Workplace Wellness" had us laughing as a team in a way we rarely have an opportunity to do.
Ontario March of Dimes
The standing ovation at the end spoke for itself as did the staff and faculty’s participation. Many of them commented on how well you connected with the audience and how much they enjoyed your humour. It was great to have an opportunity to laugh and learn at the same time. This was the second time you have opened this particular conference for us. We were happy to have you back. We look forward to seeing you again in the future.

I wanted to write to you to tell you how much we all appreciated your presentation on the "Seven Humour Habits for Workplace Wellness". It was, for our branch, an investment which I know will provide solid returns. I have heard nothing but positive feedback from all branch personnel who attended. The time you took to adapt your presentation to our particular work situation and to personalize the session was greatly appreciated.
In addition, francophones remarked on the excellent skills you demonstrated in delivering your presentation in both official languages. Your commitment to the success of this session was evident throughout. It was a wonderful way for us to top off a day of reviewing branch budgets and strategic directions. I have already recommended similar sessions to colleagues. Thanks again.

Conestoga College
Our objective in retaining you was to reinforce, in a pleasantly memorable manner, the learning that had taken place during the first two and a half days. It seems our fate was in good hands — and in good humour. Based on feedback from those present (as auditors, normally a pretty hard to please crowd), your session scored a 93% overall satisfaction rate and helped pull our overall score to 90% this year, up from last year. Actual comments received from participants included:
- Please bring Paul Huschilt back!!!
- Humour Habits was awesome!! We need more of this.
- Excellent!!!
- The comedian guy was a hoot.
It was all done with mordant wit, penetrating insights and within the bounds of good taste. Of particular interest was how you were able to find and tickle the funny bone of some of our most lugubrious colleagues. To our astonishment, these turned out to be some of the most wildly enthusiastic members of your audience.
