Jody Urquhart

Fed up with living a mediocre life, Jody Urquhart decided she wanted a memorable one instead. Her unyielding ambition fueled her into the world of stand-up comedy, a place where she learned to roll with the punch lines and turn life’s lemons into delicious lemonade.

Urquhart is a motivational keynote speaker and participates in over 100 events per year. Her mission is simple, to eagerly empower worn-out professionals with humor, hindsight, and hallelujahs. She firmly believes it’s not what you do that matters — it’s how you feel about what you do. Her keynote speeches, including titles such as "CrazyBusy," "Hustle Hangover," and "This Would Be Funny...If It Wasn't Happening To Me!" focus on overcoming busyness, embracing change with enthusiasm, and finding joy and passion in work.

With more than twenty-three years of experience inspiring and entertaining audiences across the globe, Urquhart delivers engaging motivational speeches that help professionals cultivate a much-needed blissful can-do attitude towards fun and meaningful work. She does not use PowerPoint, focusing instead on direct engagement and clean comedy to enhance the interaction. Her dynamic style involves moving around the audience, steering clear of traditional podium-based speeches to maximize engagement and satisfaction. She is also the author of the bestselling books "All Work & No Say" and "Bliss Out: Feel-Good Habits to Lift Your Hustle Hangover."
