Kris and Tim O’Shea
Corporate Comedians and Motivators
What do you get when you combine comedic talent with corporate know-how? A couple of funny motivational speakers who understand your people.
A long time ago (in a galaxy not so far away) Tim and Kris O’Shea honed their comedic skills in comedy clubs and theaters by night, while working in sales, training, and HR by day. They learned the importance of laughter to connect with others, and to deal with the stress of a constantly changing work environment.
Because of this experience they now use these skills to engage meeting attendees internationally. Their mission is to make audiences happy while learning how to thrive in a challenging world.
They’ve been voted among the Top 5 Entertainment Keynote Speaker four years in a row by Speakers Platform and have presented to corporate and association audiences, such as General Motors, McDonald’s, State Farm, Panasonic, and Blue Cross Blue Shield.
