Choose Your Entertainment to Education Ratio
When you bring Paul Draper in for keynotes, workshops, or team-building events, you can decide how you’d like him to focus his time. Each session can be tailored to deliver 100% creative entertainment, 100% academic insight, or a custom blend of both—perfectly aligned with the goals, values, and tone of the event.
A show that is 100% entertainment could be my theatrical Mysteries of the Mind show.
A workshop that is 80% entertainment could be a class teaching everyone how to juggle with 20% of our time focused on job instruction skills.
A presentation that is 60% entertainment and 40% teaching is a great time for a day of training on public speaking or teamwork.
A class that is 40% entertainment and 60% educational content could be geared toward leadership and management.
A lecture that is 80% research and 20% entertainment could be filled with transferable, actionable data on patient or employee safety.
A keynote that is 100% research could be a keynote on neuroplasticity, neonatology, or the historical war studies of Bedouin pastoralists.
