About Jim Pelley
A former stand-up comedian and contributing writer for the original Saturday Night Live Show, Jim Pelley has left ‘em laughing for more than 24 years at more than 2,156 top organizations in the U.S. and abroad, including Disney, Intel, Southwest Airlines, Mattel, and AT&T. He’s brought his message of how to smarten up by lightening up to hundreds of thousands of people who are high-tech, low-tech, and no-tech-at-all. With his hilarious way of poking fun at the frustrations of everyday life, Jim demonstrates uproariously how to use humor to become more creative, more productive, and less stressed.
