It looks like I’m singing. Nope! That would clear the room of Cancer Survivors at Houston Methodist Hospital when I was invited to present as a Motivational Cancer Survivorship Speaker
The Center for Cancer Care, Knox Community Hospital, Ohio writes about Conor
“The attendees loved him and so did our staff. The fact that he has also been on two journeys with cancer (thyroid and prostate cancer) allowed the audience to connect with him in on a level that not everyone is able to do. His inclusion of the attendees hit home. When asked, (on the evaluation), what was their favorite part of the evening Conor was, without a doubt, the top response.”
Monty Python pajamas I purchased for my prostate cancer surgery. Honest!
“As the person who coordinates all of our speakers year after year, I want to tell you that you offered a very welcome breath of fresh air in booking and executing our keynote speech.

Motivational Cancer Survivorship Speaker (Sample Intro – 149 words)
Conor Cunneen is an Irishman happily exiled in Naperville where he says the Guinness is drinkable, he’s had more corned beef than he ever had in Ireland and the natives are friendly!
This motivational Irish healthcare speaker has a humorous outlook on life. A two-time cancer survivor (note, he says two-time, NOT two-timing) he has experienced the trauma of hearing, “You have thyroid cancer” and “You have prostate cancer.” Conor’s response to the fact that he has had a thyroidectomy and a prostatectomy is that he now claims to have a unique Irish condition known as “There’s not much left-o-me.”
Prior to realizing his dream as a keynote speaker for healthcare and other industries, he was Foodservice VP Marketing Unilever and has worked in Ireland, UK and USA.
Please welcome a man who went into hospital for prostate surgery with a newly purchased pair of Monty Python pajamas, bearing the legend “It’s only a flesh wound.”
Conor Cunneen is a two-time cancer survivor and a Healthcare Speaker with a brogue!
Cancer is not funny, but this Chicago based Irish keynote speaker (healthcare, cancer, oncology) has developed an inspirational, fun-packed keynote speech about his cancer experience. It is probably only a man from County Cork, Ireland (and with the brogue to prove it) who could develop a keynote titled “It’s Just a Flesh Wound” about the experience of prostate cancer. See PR release from this humorous and motivational healthcare speaker who finds humor in most situations.
When Conor was diagnosed with prostate cancer he did not really expect to become a Motivational Cancer Survivorship Speaker. His first thoughts were “What do I want my Attitude to be?”
“There are a number of treatment options available ranging from radiation to prostatectomy, in other words the removal of the prostate,” he says in his light lyrical brogue.
Prostate cancer develops slowly so this inspirational humorous healthcare speaker (on cancer, marketing, pharma) and former Marketing VP had time to consider his options. “I did a lot of research on the topic, spoke to a lot of people and ultimately opted for the prostatectomy. My information systems, i.e., my wife, advised I had to purchase new pajamas for the hospital, so that is why I entered Northwestern Memorial Hospital with pajamas bearing the Monty Python legend ‘It’s Just a Flesh Wound.’ I’ve been blessed with a great attitude and I believe every cloud does have a silver lining. As a result, I created a keynote of the same title. It is perfect for all conferences and events where an uplifting feel-good message is appropriate, which is basically everywhere.”
This was Irish healthcare speaker Cunneen’s second bout with cancer. “I had thyroid cancer some years ago when living back in Ireland. The whipped that out as well. I tell my audiences when I keynote that having had a prostatectomy and a thyroidectomy, I now have a unique Irish condition called ‘there’s not much left-o-me.'”
As a Motivational Cancer Survivorship Speaker this ebullient Irishman’s communication style has been likened to an “Irish Dilbert,” and “James Joyce meets Tom Peters.”
His keynotes combine business experienced garnered in Ireland, UK and USA with a truly impish sense of humor. “As a keynote speaker and business humorist, I endeavor to provide Substance with Humor. I often develop purely humorous business material which I can then weave into serious business messages. That is when it becomes a real win-win.”
One of Conor’s proudest moments was when he won the coveted Chicago Toastmasters Humorous Speaker of the Year award for a speech on customer service in San Quentin jail. “That was a blast and a great career catalyst also. Since then I have spoken internationally in places as diverse as Helsinki, Madrid, London, Malaga and Glasgow.”

Other healthcare speakers include Entertainment Tonight host Leeza Gibbons who speaks on her mother’s Alzheimer journey; Senator Bill Frist is a nationally known speaker on healthcare.

“This was our 13th Annual Cancer Survivor Event celebration. Conor’s presentation and message about the Gift of GAB struck home with many of the attendees. The Goals, Attitude, and Behavior of a person fighting cancer and those who are in remission have many Goals. A positive Attitude assists them in going through treatment as well as relating to family, friends, and caregivers. behavior may be the most difficult of the three, especially when recovering from treatments. Conor brought all of these messages with some laughter and personal stories. The attendees loved him and so did our staff. The fact that he has also been on two journeys with cancer (thyroid and prostate cancer) allowed the audience to connect with him in on a level that not everyone is able to do. His inclusion of the attendees hit home. When asked, (on the evaluation), what was their favorite part of the evening Conor was, without a doubt, the top response.
