Keynote Speech

The Perfect Prescription for Less Stress and More Success

David performing best medicine keynote

Look around the average healthcare workplace.  Go ahead, we’ll wait.  You’ll see most healthcare professionals dealing with the stress of constant change, increased expectations, and having to do more with less.   That’s where A Dose of Healthcare Humor comes in!

In this hilarious keynote, David shows you how by simply making a slight shift in the way you approach these challenges, you’ll experience a profound new way of handling whatever obstacles you face as a healthcare professional….as well as the challenges you face outside of work. 

A Dose of Healthcare Humor is not so much a typical general session “keynote speech” as it is a full-blown high-energy one-man show.  It’s got observational humor, creative visuals & props, funny song parodies, and a big “rock and roll” finish.

One of the lessons of A Dose of Healthcare Humor is that Serious Does Not Cancel Fun.  And that same lesson should apply when selecting a Keynote Speaker for your event.

Yes, you want to share serious messages with your attendees…..but Serious Does Not Cancel Fun.  Serious information can still be presented in an entertaining way.  And David is the master of imparting valuable strategies to your healthcare professionals–strategies that can help lead to increased Productivity, Performance, and Passion.

 


In addition to his prepared content, David will also sit through any general sessions that precede his, logistics permitting, and then offer an “instant comedic summary” of the other programs as part of his presentation.

In addition to the entertainment value, this segment of David’s keynote provides a very effective reinforcement of any other messages and themes that have been presented throughout your event.

Alternate Names for Keynote Speech

The “default” name for David’s keynote is A Dose of Healthcare Humor and that’s the title most organizations use.  But YOU don’t have to call it that!  We have created ten Alternate Names for this keynote, the most popular being Perspective is the Best Medicine.  Here are the names, all of which align perfectly with the keynote’s content:

– Perspective is the Best Medicine
– HIPAA Won’t Let Us Tell You the Name of This Speech
– A Booster Shot for Burnout

– “Why Can’t I Have A Call Button?”
– Finding What’s Funny In Healthcare
– Open Your Mouth and Say “Ha!”
– Healthcare Employment Enjoyment
– “Is It Hot In Here Or Is It Just Burnout?”
– A Job Well Done and a Job That’s Fun
– What’s So Funny About (Insert name of your group or specific kind of work here)?

After-Lunch or After-Dinner Program

A Slighter, Lighter Dose of Healthcare Humor

If you’re looking for a program that’s primarily entertainment, or shorter than a typical keynote, this is the one for you!  

And the program can certainly be longer or shorter than 30 minutes.  We just use “Half Hour” in the title because it rhymes!  (Although 30 minutes is the perfect length for  a program that follows a meal.)

You’ve never seen a funnier way of looking at Medical Technology, HIPAA, Patient Relations, Managed Care, Medical Specialties, Healthcare Bureaucracy, the Pharmaceutical Industry, Joint Commission, Long-Term Care, HCAHPS, CMS, and much more!

None of those apply to you? No worries – David’s healthcare humor is always customized to your group’s specific work in the industry. No matter what area of healthcare your audience is in, David will find what’s funny in your world – and create a program that’s relevant (and hilarious) to you.

David Glickman is your Primary Laugh Provider who puts the med in comedy and the Comedy in Medicine.


Just like David does for his Keynote Speeches, in addition to his prepared material, David will also sit through any general sessions that precede his, logistics permitting, and then offer an “instant comedic summary” of the other programs as part of his program.

Maximizing The ROI For Your Agenda

Ensuring Your Entire Event Is Presented Professionally, Punctually & Hilariously

How David Can Help You As Your Emcee:

  • He is your event ‘safety net’ should anything go astray.  He remains in the room the entire time – ready to solve any problems or jump on stage to take over the reins.
  • He controls the flow of your agenda, facilitates all introductions and announcements, and keeps your event running smoothly.
  • He can interview your executives on stage, moderate panel discussions, and facilitate Q & A. 
  • He can work with your less-seasoned presenters to help them prepare and deliver their presentations more effectively.
  • He can immediately launch into another program if one of your other presenters goes short or is a no-show.
  • He can serve as a hilarious Auctioneer, should your event have any items to be auctioned off for a fund-raiser. 
  • He has also served as the meeting planner for events, conferences and conventions, for as many as 1,300 people – so he has much of the same knowledge as your Meeting Planner and can work easily with them.
  • He guarantees consistency for the agenda and hilarity throughout the entire event for the audience.

David Glickman has more on-stage experience as a Master of Ceremonies than any other Keynote Speaker working today.

In his years of owning comedy clubs, he strategically positioned himself in the Emcee position.  This allowed him to control the flow of the program, complement the material of the other performers, adjust the energy level of the program as necessary, and ‘save’ the show if there were any comedy ‘disasters’.

He also used those years of stage time as Emcee to refine his skills and learn the art & science of the role. (And anyone who doesn’t believe that emceeing is both an art and a science hasn’t done it very much.)

When David transitioned from “show business” to “speech business” he was able to take those highly-developed skills as a Master of Ceremonies to the corporate stage.

Since that time, many meeting professionals have experienced the amazing value and benefits of having David serve both as a Keynote Speaker and as the Master of Ceremonies for the entire event.
