Remember the old Candid Camera show on TV? Well, you could call Juliet Funt the next generation of Candid Camera because she's the daughter of the show's creator and host, Allen Funt. The insights into the foibles and follies of human behavior that she regularly saw as her dad was creating the series, form the basis of the wisdom she offers in her keynote speeches and seminars which always focus on identifying those little behaviors that we may not recognize but that keep us and our businesses from true success. An international activist in efforts to ease the strains of diversity, Juliet Funt presents her insights and ideas with an artist's appreciation of the power of language, combined with a healthy dose of thoughtful humor.
As the daughter of Allen Funt, creator of the Candid Camera television show, Juliet has spent her life observing the hidden truths beneath our social selves. She won't hide a camera in your office but will shine a light on the blind spots holding you back from creating the business of your dreams.
Juliet lights up the platform with a true wordsmith’s love for the poetry of a well-turned phrase. She then backs up her engaging words and rich stories with thought-provoking content that has made her a nationally recognized expert in the areas of managing stress, communication, connectivity, and presentation skills. Her show biz genes are amplified by years performing improvisational comedy on the professional stage and many, many hours on the platform challenging her audiences to think deeper, laugh harder, and change their lives more profoundly. She helps businesses, from top management to front line employees, find and nurture the human capital that is the fuel behind every organizational success.
Her diverse work history has taken her through a myriad of roles: from Project Manger for a live events company to Human Relations trainer for the Los Angeles Police Department through the Museum of Tolerance, and even to Israel as a liaison in a Palestinian/Israeli peace project.
Juliet began her television career at two years old at the hands of her proud poppa, and since has appeared on national news, television, and radio. She has been featured in the L.A. Times, The Chicago Tribune, Shape, L.A. Parent and Professional Speaker magazine. She has been a weekly columnist for the Womenof.com Internet community, and a co-author of The Communication Path and The Wellness Path, in the Path Training Series.
She is a member of the National Speakers Association, a certified grief counselor and fills her spare time running a fine art photography business with her fabulous and talented husband Lorne, winner of the 2005 Travel Photographer of the Year. Together they have co-founded the Young Stars Project, a non-profit organization building holistic learning schools for children in Uganda.
Juliet speaks internationally to diverse audiences, naming and questioning the cultural myths that weigh upon us, and block the possibilities for joy in our lives. Her programs are great for Associations, Women’s Groups, Educators, Healthcare, Real Estate companies, and many other audiences.
