Jeff Green is passionate about change, and he knows a thing or two about it.

After commencing his working life as a chemical engineer, Jeff about-faced into a stellar career as a stand-up comedian. In the process he became a household name on UK TV and radio and starred in festivals and tours across the globe. He then gave it all up to move to Australia and start all over again. Why? And what key lessons about embracing change did Jeff learn along the way?

Jeff's inspirational, insightful and often hilarious story recounts his negotiation of personal and professional life-changing events. His presentation will energise your audience with his clear guide to viewing change as a potent and positive force.

'Formerly a Chemical Engineer, I left University in 1986 with an Honours Degree, a high powered job and a deep feeling that I'd made a huge mistake. 25 years later I'm a stand-up comedian with a global fan-base; sell out tours of festivals and theatres, West End seasons, three DVD releases, book sales of over 300,000 and countless TV and radio appearances. In 2005 I was a happy-go-lucky London bachelor sharing the stage and dressing rooms with the biggest names in UK comedy. I'm now a married father of two, Australian citizen who loves his new life. But how did it all happen? Well, let me tell you...' - Jeff Green
