Keynote Topics

We all know that we should manage our stress, but we don’t necessarily know why or how!

Stress is not something that we can or should eradicate from our lives. If we care about anything at all, we are going to experience some stress, anxiety, frustration, fear and other so-called negative emotions.

In our frenzied world, people need to be reminded of the importance of managing their stress, keeping a sense of humor and maintaining a positive attitude for peak performance and success in all areas of their lives. The so-called “little things” in life can become cumulative if we don’t stop them in their tracks. We need to manage our stress before it manages us!

With this energetic, upbeat presentation, attendees laugh while they learn without straining their brains. This presentation is clean, funny and relatable to a wide spectrum of people.

In this motivational and hilarious presentation that bears the same title as her book, The Funny Thing About Stress, Kay Frances offers a healthy dose of laughter that can be just what the doctor ordered for your event!

Sure, we all know what we need to do to live happy, healthy and productive lives.

Or do we?

Then why are we so stressed??

Smart organizations know that a healthy workforce is the key to reducing absenteeism and lowering healthcare costs. It is also the key to people operating at their best. Kay Frances believes that the best healthcare “plan” involves actually making a PLAN to do all that we can to take care of ourselves; physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

With a degree in Health and Physical Education, Kay has the expertise that people need to put wellness at the top of their “to-do” list.

And don’t forget that Kay is never far from her roots as a professional standup comedian. People will laugh while they learn without straining their brains!

Kay doesn’t preach from an ivory tower, but rather shares her experience as she has done everything you are NOT supposed to do! It was a long, winding, hilarious journey back to wellness and she happily shares what she learned along the way.

With this energetic, upbeat presentation, attendees laugh while they learn without straining their brains. This presentation is clean, funny and relate-able to a wide spectrum of people.

Not only will attendees get solid information on wellness and stress management, but they’ll leave this session motivated, energized and ready to take on their challenges with renewed vigor.

The only constant in the universe is change. The world is going to change with or without us, so we may as well enjoy the ride! Kay believes that people who maintain their sense of humor in the face of change are happier, healthier and more productive.

There are two ways in which we experience change.

Changes we initiate for ourselves
Changes that are put upon us by others (family, job, the government, etc.)
Change is never easy, but when we initiate it ourselves, there is an element of choice and control. Not so when change is thrust upon us by outside factors. So, what do you do??

In our fast-paced lives, we need to remember the importance of looking at change as an adventure. In this fun, lively and interactive presentation, Kay will help your people to understand and identify the things that stress them about dealing with change.

And don’t forget that Kay is never far from her roots as a professional standup comedian. People will laugh while they learn without straining their brains!

This program is perfect for organizations experiencing change, employees and managers at all levels and both men and women. The audience will leave motivated, energized and brimming with solid tips on managing change. And, they’ll have the time of their lives!

Learn how to manage your stress, keep your sense of humor and take care of your health from motivational humorist and author Kay Frances, MBA, CSP, “America’s Funniest Stressbuster.”

With solid content and hilarious delivery, Kay’s funny motivational presentations will leave your audience energized and excited to take on their challenges with renewed vigor. This speaker has the experience, the expertise and the passion to deliver every time!

When it comes to humor, Kay is the “real deal” having performed as a professional stand-up comedian for many years and appearing on a number of national television and radio programs including Lifetime Cable’s “Girls Night Out” and NBC’s “America’s Funniest People”. She also lived and performed in New York City where she appeared at the nation’s top comedy clubs such as “The Improvisation” and “Catch a Rising Star.”  In her book, The Funny Thing About Stress, Kay presents a seriously humorous guide to a happier life.

Kay combines her years of stand-up comedy, her education and her passion for her message to offer a unique skill set not often found in one speaker. She has presented in 40 states and Canada for over 30 years. She holds a Master’s Degree in Business Administration, a degree in Health and Physical Education and a 4th degree black belt in karate. She was also a family caregiver for 7 years.

Your meeting dollars go twice as far with Kay because you get an entertainer and an educator. When it comes to managing stress, Kay learned the hard way by engaging in every unhealthy habit known to man. It was a long, winding, hilarious road back to sanity and good health and Kay generously shares what she learned along the way. Combining her expertise in stress management with her background as a professional stand-up comedian, Kay ensures that women laugh while they learn without straining their brains.  It’s clean, relatable humor with a message at its funniest! Your stress level will thank you!

Talent FAQ's

Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.

Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.

The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.

Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.

Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.

  • Virtual speaking appearances are a cost-effective alternative to high speaking fees, often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates.
  • There is typically no difference in fee for a 15-minute speech versus a 60-minute speech.
  • Some motivational speakers are open to discounting their fee if hired for more than one event by the same organization.
  • When browsing speakers, consider their location to keep travel costs down.
  • Personal connections to your organization or event location can increase your chances of securing a renowned speaker.
  • Be upfront about your needs and expectations to ensure a successful partnership.
