Join SFCC Entertainment as we interview Stand Up Comedian and Storyteller Joe Klocek.  We'll be talking about how storytelling can be used to teach people how to engage, influence, and motivate through more compelling speeches and presentations. He is an expert at teaching people how to use stories to teach a lesson, make a point, or sell a product or service.

Storytelling is hard wired into our social DNA. Since the beginning of human history it was the way morals, faith and information was delivered. Today, even the shortest status update continues this tradition. Telling a good story can be a simple commercial pitch or a joke among clients, what is important to remember is that information is passing from you to another person. My class not only helps you to recognize exactly what information you are passing along, but it gives you the equally important skills of listening to the other persons story for information. After all, everyone has the deepest desire to be heard. Great storytelling in the workplace is simply humanizing the flow of information. 

Joe Klocek has become one of San Francisco's most unique comics. With razor sharp wit he uses to 'work the crowd', Joe is in high demand at clubs and corporate functions, and has recently made his debut nationally on Comedy Central’s “Live at Gotham” Comedy Show. Raised in the Midwest, but now a confirmed San Francisco resident, Joe brings a refreshing look at life through the eyes of a class clown who read too much.
