BIO
Andrew Tarvin is the world’s first Humor Engineer teaching people how to get better results while having more fun. He has worked with 35,000+ people at 250+ organizations, including Microsoft, the FBI, and the International Association of Canine Professionals.
Combining his background as a project manager at Procter & Gamble with his experience as an international comedian, Andrew reverse engineers the skill of humor in a way that is practical, actionable, and gets results in the workplace.
He is a best-selling author, has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and FastCompany, and his TEDx talk has been viewed over 4 million times. He has delivered programs in 50 states, 20 countries, and 1 Planet (Earth). He loves the color orange and is obsessed with chocolate.
A/V REQUIREMENTS
Andrew’s programs are engaging, entertaining, and effective. To support his message, there are a few requests he makes regarding A/V.
Andrew uses PowerPoint to help deliver his message. Don’t worry, they aren’t slides full of text or hard-to-read charts, instead he uses images, gifs, and (on occasion) video, to create a visual experience for the audience.
He does, however, use a lot of slides. One program has 87 slides for a 60-minute talk. Yes, he knows that’s a lot, but he goes through them quickly.
As such, it’s helpful for Andrew to have a confidence monitor so he knows what the audience is seeing (without looking behind him). If there is no confidence monitor, presenting from a laptop on stage is preferred.
For audio, Andrew prefers a wireless, lavalier microphone.
