June Cline

June Cline, Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), has celebrated more than 13 years as a professional humorist and President of her company, The Court Jesters Club.  Her philosophy of "Fun Works!" has been implemented in many major companies, such as Toyota, BellSouth, Deloitte and Touche, and a slew of other names you'd recognize.  All have benefited from her unique ability to teach them the difference in fun and frivolity and how they can raise productivity and profits by simply bringing more humor to the workplace.

More than 400 Colleges and Business Associations have had their funny bone tickled by June.  She often draws on her experiences in education, banking and career development to provide valuable insight into how to build relationships, handle stress, learn to laugh at ourselves, and find humor in everyday situations. June earned the prestigious designation of Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), from the National Speakers Association (NSA), an accomplishment achieved by fewer than 8% of their worldwide membership.  She has a long history of service to both NSA and to the Georgia Speakers Association. She is past Chair of the NSA Humor PEG (Professional Experts Group) and currently, she is hosting a monthly segment for both their audio Voices of Experience and Professional Speaking magazines. 

June is often quoted and profiled by the media, who value her insight and ability to articulate why "Fun Works!"  Recent features on June have appeared in publications as diverse as Selling Power, Harvard Management Communication Letter, Health Industry Executive, Competitive Edge, Redbook, First For Women, Growing Companies, and by Gannett News Service's syndicated columnist Anita Bruzzese.

June's Alabama upbringing helps explain why she's so "south in the mouth," to the delight of her audiences.  Her BS in Social Science from Westminister College in Salt Lake City, Utah took 16 years to complete (wait'll you hear that story!).  She lives in beautiful Gilbert, Arizona.
