Where Wisdom Works
About Toucan HQ
We're experts in employee engagement and people development.
At Toucan HQ, we’re on a mission to help organisations put wisdom to work through sharp insights and engaging learning experiences.
What We Do Differently
We combine wisdom from the worlds of behavioural science and comedy to create learning experiences that people want to engage with. Our workshops, keynotes, and webinars are all designed with three beliefs in mind.
Our Core Beliefs:
Boring is Broken: Cut the chase - raise the stakes.
Learning is a Contact Sport: Social beats solo.
Complexity Kills Change: Make science simple and applied.

Amanda Maddox
Sales Enablement Lead
We hired Kate to facilitate a workshop as part of our company's kick-off. Throughout our conversations, she did an incredible job of tying together improv concepts and business benefits in a way that I knew would help our team understand the value of the exercises for them. Kate was extremely flexible and fun to work with.
Kate ensured everyone across the team was involved, learning, connecting with one another, and enjoying a number of laughs along the way.

We love having Kate perform with us in Kilkenny. She's a hilarious comedian, able to hold an audience's attention right from the start and guide them through tough topics in an intelligent, meaningful and most importantly, funny way. Highly recommended.

FAIR CULTURES
Oana Iordachescu
Founder, Fair Cultures
We hired Kate for the FAIR Workplace Inclusion Conference, where she designed and delivered a thoughtful, artistic moment for a highly professional HR and people leadership audience. What stood out was her ability to translate complex workplace topics into an engaging, stand-up-style intervention that felt both intelligent and accessible, without ever losing depth or credibility.
Our collaboration was genuinely enjoyable. Kate took the time to understand the purpose of the event, the expectations of the audience, and the sensitivity of the topic. She was highly receptive to feedback while remaining fully autonomous in shaping the concept, creating the necessary assets, and delivering with confidence and precision.
Her contribution added something truly distinctive to the conference. I would happily collaborate with her again and recommend her to organisations looking for original, well-crafted experiences that resonate with senior, thoughtful audiences.
