  • Andrea Parker is the leading voice in a movement that proves FUN isn’t a perk or distraction—it’s the pathway to longevity, sustainability, and peak performance. 

    A former police detective turned human potential expert, keynote speaker, and co-founder of FunX—Andrea is on a mission to help high-performing leaders reignite their energy, lead with authenticity and create real impact—without burning out in the process. She delivers a keynote experience that blends powerful storytelling, science-backed strategy, and real-time mindset shifts. Her transformative keynote experience, WTF: Where’s The Fun?, invites audiences to reimagine what success can feel like—and proves that fun isn’t the opposite of performance, it’s the catalyst for it.

    With over a decade in law enforcement and nearly another in transformational coaching, Andrea brings unmatched depth, honesty, relatability, and magnetic energy to every stage. Her work has been featured in bestselling books, documentaries, and top-tier podcasts—and her insights resonate with those ready to ditch the grind, reset their relationship with work, and lead from the heart.

    From Fortune 500 companies and global conferences to intimate retreats and culture-focused offsites, Andrea’s message is simple but paradigm-shifting:

    You don’t need to burn out to make an impact.

    You don’t have to sacrifice joy to succeed.

    You get to have fun—and when you do, everything changes.

    As co-host of the WTF: Where’s The Fun? podcast, Andrea brings this mission to life offstage, creating space for conversations about fulfillment, freedom, and the power of play.

    Now living her dream life in Muskoka with her wife Mel and their dog, Andrea leads by example—proving that when fun becomes a focus, life becomes extraordinary.

  • WTF: WHERE’S THE FUN?!

    What if your greatest untapped drive of performance…is FUN?

    Andrea Parker is a former police detective turned human potential expert who helps high-performing teams and people-first companies reimagine how they work, lead, and live—through one powerful, paradigm-shifting question: What Would Make This More Fun?

    Known for her magnetic stage presence, razor-sharp storytelling, and unforgettable real-life lessons from the front lines of law enforcement, Andrea doesn’t deliver a keynote—she creates an experience.

    Her signature talk, WTF: Where’s The Fun?!, is a high-impact, highly-interactive invitation for audiences to:

    • Reset their perspective in real time

    • Recharge creativity, engagement, and innovation

    • Rewire their relationship to work, pressure, and performance
      Reconnect with what energizes them—so they lead with joy, not just drive


    This isn’t fluff or forced “fun.” It’s neuroscience meets real-world leadership. It’s culture change that feels good and gets results. It’s a practical, instantly usable tool that signals psychological safety, sparks retention, and builds cultures where people actually want to show up.

    The WTF isn’t a “framework.” It’s a paradigm-shifting question that can be asked in any meeting, on any team, at any moment—and it changes everything.

    Andrea is the keynote speaker companies call when they’re ready to go beyond checkbox culture, energize their culture, elevate emotional intelligence, and fuel lasting momentum across their teams. 

    Because when leaders follow the fun—performance, connection, and creativity follow too.
