Storyteller • Comedian • Morale Booster • Concierge of Human Connection

I’m Louis Barney Katz — a Boise-based performer, keynote speaker, and former 23-year IT business owner who believes business is at its best when people feel welcome, seen, and energized.

If your lobby, workplace, event space, customer counter, or community needs someone who elevates the entire atmosphere…

That’s what I do. Every single day.

The LB Effect

Every organization needs at least one person who:

• Makes customers light up

• Makes staff feel valued

• Turns problems into moments of connection

• Brings humor without losing professionalism

• Creates stories people repeat to their friends

• Raises the standard of what “great service” feels like

• Shows up cranked to 11 — in the best possible way

That’s the LB Effect.

If it involves people, connection, or elevating the experience… I fit.

Roles where I excel

I thrive in roles like:

• Customer Experience Lead

• Concierge / Guest Relations

• Culture & Morale Specialist

• Front-of-House Talent

• Member / Guest Happiness Ambassador

• Community Engagement & Outreach

• Special Events Host / Emcee

• “The Face of the Place”

• The role you haven’t named yet

If you’re thinking, “We need someone like that, but we don’t have the title”… perfect.
We’ll invent it.

Why hire Louis Barney Katz?

I spent 23 years running an IT company where my entire mission was anchored in one belief:

Treat people like humans. Make their day. Be ridiculously responsive.

Then I stepped onto stages — storytelling, comedy, keynotes — and realized something:

Courage, humor, and warmth aren’t soft skills. They’re performance multipliers.

I help organizations become:
More courageous. More human. More memorable. More fun.
