STUART GOLDSMITH | RESILIENCE

Stuart thinks that comedians are a great source of information regarding resilience. With frequent trips out of town or overseas, no colleagues, the spotlight all on them, possible heckles, awkward silences, only to repeat it the next day. But they keep going. They don’t give up. Having interviewed over 400 comedians, Stuart provides a 45-minute session on how to use their tips on resilience to better your own.

Testimonials

We live in a world of online meetings now and Stuart set the bar for managing and orchestrating this flawlessly. The games and interactive element were hilarious and extremely well executed. 10/10 from us, you created a real buzz in our business.
Ben Gott, SVP at Merkle

Stuart was absolutely brilliant and brought a fantastically upbeat (and much needed) energy to our firm’s Friday afternoon call. His perspectives on building resilience were really thoughtful and relevant for us all. I would highly recommend this session as an alternative and fresh take on cultivating resilience.
Poppy Dean, HG Capital

The most inspiring talk I’ve had in years!
LEGO Group Team Member

The topic was very on point and resonated really well with the group, and without question, Stuart delivered it incredibly well. I (and the team) were really impressed that Stuart could hold the audience with such engagement in a virtual environment for his 45 minute session – the time flew by!
Nimesh Shah, CEO Blick Rothenberg

We booked Stuart Goldsmith to deliver his talk on resilience at our first face to face company event after lockdown. Stuart was brilliant; he nailed the brief, and the balance of meaningful content and humour was perfect for our audience. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for an uplifting and engaging speaker, especially if you are looking for something more original and entertaining than the usual ‘motivational talks’.
Jo Matkin, CEO, Celsus Group

We approached Stuart to help us organise our company’s online birthday party. Stuart was amazing from start to finish. On the night he blew us away with both his professionalism and his friendly wit. It would not have been the same show without him in the host seat. Everyone at the company is still talking about it.
Dominic, Softwire Technology

Stuart Goldsmith hosted h Club 100 Awards for the first time in 2017. His contribution to the ceremony was immense, he engaged the room in a unique fashion and immediately established a rapport with the audience and had them laughing out loud. He made the whole evening and had the audience certainly in the palm of his hand. He had strong background knowledge of the awards and hosted with confidence. I cannot recommend him highly enough – he certainly took our awards evening to a different level this year.
Michael, Creative Director, The Hospital Club

In every walk of life, people struggle with poor mental health and imposter syndrome. One way of tackling this is developing resilience in the workplace (and our personal lives). Stu has an entertaining and engaging approach that people can relate to, with practical steps to take to become more resilient people. Amazing session, thanks Stu!
