Jittery Citizens

Want the same charisma as a comic?

In this clip, 3 things are happening:

• The unexpected breaks the pattern → attention
• The reaction spreads → emotion is contagious
• The first honest response lands → before it gets edited

Here’s the problem:

In business, you’ve trained yourself to do the opposite.

You overthink.
You polish.
You say what sounds “right.”

And that’s why people don’t lean in.

The most magnetic people aren’t more prepared.

They’re less filtered.

Steal this:
Say the first real thing that comes to mind—then refine it, don’t replace it.

That’s where the signal is.

Follow for more hilarious tips and tricks.

“I’m here!”…Crickets.

That’s what it felt like for years walking into corporate spaces as “the comedian.”

I’d show up. Announce myself. Wait for someone to care.
But nobody was listening. Because they’d already decided what I was: entertainment.
“Tell us a joke.”

But I wasn’t there to entertain. I was there to transform.

I use play, performance, and humour to dismantle fear in high-performing teams. To create psychological safety in boardrooms. To help brilliant people stop playing small.
That’s not a comedy show. That’s strategic leadership development.

But “comedian” didn’t communicate that.
So I stopped shouting into rooms that weren’t ready to hear me.

I created a new room. And a new title.
Chief Comedic Officer.

And suddenly, people leaned in.

The conversations shifted from “Can you do a fun session?” to “Can you help our leadership team stop being risk-averse?”
The clients shifted from one-off events to long-term transformation with , , ,

The impact shifted from laughter to measurable improvements in collaboration, creativity, and confidence.

Because I finally owned what I actually do.
I don’t just make people laugh. I make teams brave.

I teach leaders to communicate under pressure. To turn failure into fuel. To unlock creativity that can’t be automated. To show up with presence, not just performance.
That’s what a Chief Comedic Officer does.
And my new role has officially begun.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re shouting into rooms that don’t get you, stop.

Don’t change who you are. Change the room.
Create the space. Name it. Own it.

Because the world doesn’t need another version of what already exists.

It needs the thing only you can bring.

My new role has begun.
Wish me luck.

In 2008, an agent told me I was “too large for this industry.”

For years, I believed him.

Then I realized: I wasn’t too large. His vision was too small.

Today, I dropped off my Humour Advantage package at Virgin StartUp as the world’s only Chief Comedic Officer.

Here’s what I see now, working with teams at , , :
The best ideas inside brilliant organizations die not because they’re bad.

They die because they’re too big for the rooms they’re presented in.
A bold vision gets watered down in a risk-averse meeting.

A game-changing strategy gets killed by short-term thinking.

And the people who bring those ideas? They start playing small.

Not because they lack talent. Because the room couldn’t hold them.

That’s the real cost of small thinking at the top.

You don’t just lose the idea. You lose the person who had the courage to bring it.

My mission is to make sure no great vision is ever lost because it was too big for a small room.

“What Claudine creates is a psychologically safe environment where leaders can take risks and speak honestly. When leaders feel safe to explore ideas openly, collaboration improves and decision-making becomes far more effective.” — Mechell Chetty, HR VP, Unilever

If your team is playing smaller than their capability, the problem isn’t your people.
It’s the room you’ve built.

Are you making space for big thinking? Or unconsciously shrinking it?

Your team will only play as big as the room allows.
So stop making them smaller. Build bigger rooms.

The best leaders don’t shrink their people to fit the room.

They expand the room to fit the vision.

Still wearing my 40 Under 40 Global medal while doing the dishes.
Yes, it’s ridiculous. I’m still letting it land.

I’ve been nominated for 40 Under 40 Global.
Me. The comedian. The kid who was told she was “too much.” The woman who built a career teaching people how to fail, loudly, and get back up.

This isn’t just mine. It belongs to every team that chose improv when they were told to be “serious.” Every leader who showed up scared of looking stupid and did it anyway. Every person who learned that failure isn’t the problem. Playing it safe is.

Since founding Jittery Citizens in 2012, I’ve seen what happens when teams treat failure as useful info, not a dirty secret. That work being recognised means more than I can say.

So yes. I’m wearing the medal while I vacuum, make coffee, and answer emails.
Some moments deserve to last longer.

If you’ve ever felt “too anything” to belong, keep going.
Now excuse me. Laundry awaits. Gold medal still on.

Feeling stuck? Caught in a loop of endless overthinking?

You know what you want to say.

But when the room goes quiet and all eyes are on you?

You freeze.
Overthink.
Watch someone else say what you were going to say and get the credit for it.

Sound familiar?

Here’s what no one tells you:
Confidence isn’t about knowing more. It’s about thinking faster.
And you can’t think faster without practice.
Real practice. Not theory.

That’s why I created The Unstuck Lab, a weekly live experience for high-performers who are done overthinking and ready to own the room.

You’ll learn to:
→ Think on your feet without freezing
→ Speak clearly under pressure
→ Show up with presence (not just prep)
No embarrassing roleplay.
No fluff.

Just the reps you need to stop second-guessing yourself.

Founding cohort launching soon. Extremely limited spots.

📈 RESULT:
You’ll have a modern, living brand that connects emotionally and works intelligently — so you can spend more time doing the work only humans can do.

Update your brand, upgrade your systems — and lead with your Human Advantage.

Alan Carr just brought a bazooka to a knife fight.

As a performance director for Emmy-nominated comedians, I can tell you this: comedy is a weap0n.

Everyone thinks comedy is about being funny.
It’s not. It’s about control.

In this breakdown, I show you how Alan Carr’s charm, timing, and vulnerability make him the most dangerous player on Celebrity Traitors — because comedy is camouflage.

If you understand this — how humor disarms, connects, and persuades — you can win in business, leadership, and even relationships.

I’ve spent years performance-directing comedians. Now I’m showing you how the same comedic tools can make you magnetic in real life.
