Incorporate Humour in your next Presentation
Some speakers say, “I could never use humour in my speech; I just don’t feel comfortable with it.” I believe that anyone can use humour and that it is a valuable tool in speaking. Appropriate humour relaxes an audience and makes it feel more comfortable with you as the speaker; humour can bring attention to the point you are making; and humour will help the audience better remember your point. It can break down barriers so that the audience is more receptive to your ideas. First, let me make it easy for you to use humour. http://bit.ly/oAKOwt
Excellent Post!
Humor can be icing on the cake. It can also be tough.
Definitely don’t tell the audience that you’re going to be funny. If you’re not, you’ll be the joke!
The best humor is self-effacing. Don’t make fun of others.
Good advice to go on and not react if the audience doesn’t laugh. What works well one time may not work the next.
Humor can help make the important emotional connection speakers want, so take the Post’s advice and “keep trying” – No Joke!
