An Unexpected Turn of Events
Durwood Fincher provides an unexpected, hilarious experience for your audience. Introduced to your audience as Dr. Robert Payne, a bumbling, bureaucratic Washington D.C. stereotype, "Dr. Payne's" presentation-customized to your industry or organization-is filled with enough bureaucratic rhetoric, jargon, buzzwords and hollow platitudes to spin heads. As the audience listens they slowly begin to realize that he is saying nothing at all and that, in all respects, something funny is going on. Laughter erupts and the fun really begins when they catch on that they're being put-on and he shifts into a spirited, uplifting presentation stressing the importance of humor and clear communication in the workplace.

A program option: Durwood can pose as a roving reporter and conduct video interviews of attendees at your event. But . . . of course . . . his questions make no sense . . . yet it is truly amazing how many people answer rather than admit they haven't a clue as to what he's talking about. He then delivers a hilarious speech that incorporates those video interviews.
