There’s a real science to an unforgettable experience

Need a boost of energy, creativity and courage at your next event? Too many of us are feeling anxious, stressed, overwhelmed or disengaged. Cristy Burne blends science and story to empower audiences to experiment with fun.

Cristy’s an expert on using fun to increase engagement, connection and resilience. She uses her experience as a science journalist and children’s author to support people find and celebrate the courageous, creative life they want to live.

Sometimes modern life can feel too hard. We have rising stress, scattered focus and huge global challenges to tackle… Which is exactly why we need to reclaim our human creativity. We’re all human beings and today we need creativity, courage and fun more than ever.

Whether she’s working with parents, educators, or corporate teams, Cristy’s storytelling and science highlights the power of the stories we tell ourselves, and the importance of humour and fun for our psychosocial wellbeing. Think differently about science, creativity, success, failure and your own potential.

Entertaining. Impactful. Reliable.

How would things change if you laughed more? Innovated more? Imagined more?

The research is in: laughter helps us grow, helps us learn, helps us connect, reduces stress, releases feel-good hormones and makes me appear more intelligent (probably you too). From journalism at CERN and patent translation in Japan to sewage pipes and science circuses, Cristy condenses what she has learned over 20+ years into tips and tools that will help your team live more courageously and creatively.

Whether it’s a dynamic workshop, energising keynote or festival fun, Cristy shares her stories of resilience, growth mindset, creativity, curiosity and a passion for living with purpose.

Cristy can help bring the magic of science and story into your classroom, your boardroom, your living room and your life. There’s no better time to share an energising experience with your team, boost inspiration, tell new stories, and start some new conversations.
