Joel Hilchey
Executive Producer & CEO, Beanstalk Creative
Fun by Design
People have the idea that “fun” is the opposite of “work”. They’re wrong. (No offense…) Fun is an undervalued resource for productivity, talent retention, and team culture. The truth is that we do better when we feel better. And there's research to prove it.
Obviously, there are challenges: People are overwhelmed, budgets are stretched thin, and leaders are navigating the hybrid world of work with teams who need as much support personally as they do professionally. When times seem overwhelming, we need simplicity and clarity. What if the path forward was actually fun?
In Joel’s unconventional keynote (imagine juggling, mouse traps and a daring stunt with an enormous balloon), you’ll learn:
* Trends that are reshaping the world of work
* The key to effective recognition, and 3 easy ideas to do it better
* 4 Practical tactics for team leaders to make boring meetings way less painful
Plus, we’ll have a lot of fun. Because that’s how it works.
Joel is an ideas guy. His gift seems to stem from a strange combination of observation, insight, and blatant disregard for conventional thinking.
He's also a juggler (literally and figuratively). In addition to leading the Beanstalk Creative team, he maintains a busy schedule as a keynote speaker, creating unforgettable spectacles on stage. He's the father of 3 kids, 2 of whom co-habitated a uterus, and he attempts to be a good husband. Joel has authored 3 books, and he taught engineering for over a decade at McMaster University, where he was named one of the Top 150+ Alumni. He’s a seasoned barbershop quartet singer, he formerly chaired the board of the world-renowned Hamilton Children’s Choir, and he's a semi-competitive joggler (that's right... juggling whilst jogging).
