Paul Huschilt

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 humor, 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.

At the beginning of every school year the New Frontiers School Board hosts the August Social & Pedagogical Day for all of its employees. Paul Huschilt’s presentation, “Seven humor Habits for Workplace Wellness”, was the absolute highlight of this year’s event. For ninety “high energy” minutes, Paul had over 300 people laughing, learning and begging for more. An amazing performance that combined wit, incredible powers of observation and good old fashioned fun. Evaluation forms collected gave Paul an “Excellent” rating as a speaker and I would not hesitate to invite him back to share his considerable talents.

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 humor Habits for Workplace Wellness” had us laughing as a team in a way we rarely have an opportunity to do.

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 humor. It was great to have an opportunity to laugh and learn at the same time.

I wanted to write to you to tell you how much we all appreciated your presentation on the “Seven humor 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.

Actual comments received from participants included:

Please bring Paul Huschilt back!!!
humor 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.

Paul is a master storyteller and skilled entertainer and trainer. He delivered his message of simple ways to reduce the negative effects of stress in a unique, fun filled and engaging manner.

Paul quickly connected with the staff and was able to captivate their attention while weaving together songs, stories and practical suggestions. We thoroughly enjoyed his presentation and weeks later are still talking about it.

Paul’s distinctive presentation on the Seven humor Habits is an absolute must for anyone involved in education.
