The World's Most Original Keynote
More joy. More you. Better performance.
Joy with a point.
J.Y. Kelly will make your audience laugh.
She'll involve them. Surprise them. Challenge them.
But underneath the sequins is a serious question:
How much human potential are we losing because people don't feel free to be themselves?
When people spend less energy fitting in, masking, second-guessing themselves or worrying about how they're perceived, they have more energy for the things that matter.
Ideas. Relationships. Courage. Creativity. Performance.
That's why joy isn't the fluffy bit.
It's part of the performance equation.
Why drag? Why not?
Drag is transformation.
It's play. Courage. Exaggeration. Expression. And, occasionally, an outrageous amount of hairspray.
J.Y. Kelly uses drag to explore the versions of ourselves we take into work; the ones we perform, the ones we hide and the ones we'd show more often if we felt safe enough.
And somewhere between the laughter and the lashes, something rather powerful happens:
People start thinking about themselves.
