Clown in Business
“Every day we defend ourselves against the feeling we are not enough by not letting anyone see who we are. We armour ourselves up against judgement, criticism, fear, blame, ridicule and we think we are going to be safe” - Brené Brown
By taking a clown’s view of the world we can start to see beyond the protective shell we normally create for ourselves and find the way to deeper presence, connection, humanity and self-expression.
In today's highly complex organisations, employees are invited to bring the ‘whole of themselves’ to work and enjoy the sense of belonging and purpose that their work can bring. But we often block others from seeing who we truly are. The 'Clown in Business' aims to develop authenticleadership of self and others for the benefit of the individual and the organisation.
There is a fallacy that not taking our work life seriously is a kind of heresy and anything less than total commitment to seriousness could lead to us being terminated or lose all our credibility! And who wants that? The truth is that some situations in our day to day lives are ridiculous and addressing them with humour and play invites deeper and more honest connections. The Clown in Business offers a fun, safe and progressive approach to discover and explore the boundaries of vulnerability. By taking a different view of the world we can dissolve tension and increase connection leading to working more effectively with others, being true to ourselves in everyday life and improving performance.

BobBob is a business coach with over 30 years’ experience of working with others to facilitate change. Despite coming from a very conventional background he has always been interested in how humour and performance can be used to deepen connection and bring
new insight. Through the clown he has learned how we restrict ourselves to a very narrow band of behaviour and how much fun it is to break free of those restrictions.
