Human Resources Consulting – Joel Zeff

A professional at human resources consulting for over a decade, Joel Zeff helps businesses explore and improve their own corporate cultures through a unique blend of humor and insight.

National and regional organizations across the country seek Joel out to motivate and energize their employees on such topics as creativity, communication, teamwork, passion and fun with a humorous human resources keynote. His first book, Make the Right Choice: Creating a Positive, Innovative and Productive Work Life was just published by John Wiley & Sons.

Says Senior Editor Laurie Harting, "Joel delivers common-sense business advice in a way that his audience can relate to and also apply. So many business books take themselves so seriously that readers don't finish them. Joel makes you laugh your way through the lessons."

Joel can present a keynote or workshop for your group.  The human resources consulting workshop (half day or full day) are for smaller groups who want to further explore Joel's message on creativity, leadership, change, work/life balance, communication and teamwork.  Like the keynotes, the intensive workshops use hilarious improvisation and creativity exercises to have fun and learn.

The workshops allow Joel to focus more intently on specific creativity and teamwork skills such as listening, trust, communication, risk-taking, confidence, openness and flexibility to change, positive support and breaking down barriers.

The workshops also allow more time for discussion. After each exercise, the group discusses the elements and skills that made the game successful.  



Since 1993, Joel has performed with Ad-Libs, one of the country's premier improvisational comedy troupes.  Using this improvisational skill, he works with companies and their employees to create a memorable human resources workshop like no one has ever attended before.

Joel’s experience as a newspaper journalist and public relations executive led him to start his own consulting business in 1994. His business focused on helping technology and telecommunications companies with human resources consulting, marketing, advertising and public relations.  As he came in contact with so many corporate cultures, he noticed the glaring need for employees to have more fun and reenergize their creative spirit.  Naturally, Joel’s love for a well balanced corporate team and his penchant for drawing big laughs have dovetailed to create customized HR seminars that finally won’t put employees to sleep.  If you’re looking to energize and increase the creative output of your team, boost the corporate culture of your business and entertain while doing so, Joel Zeff is your ideal Human Resources Consultant.

Customized Consulting
Each keynote and workshop is customized to your audience, event and objectives.  Joel is successful because he engages your audience in the learning process.  Yes, your audience will have fun.  They will also retain Joel's message long after the event.
