Abstract

Our public presentation often aims to persuade our audience to take an action, such as buy a product, or perform an assignment. We want them to pay attention, remember what was said and act on our suggestion. This can be quite daunting, but we can use humor to "grease the skids."
 
This interactive presentation will expose and explore tools that we can use to add a humourous
dimension to our speeches. We will practice how to entertain and educate, while making our words
sufficiently memorable and inspiring that they will move our audience to acton.
 
Learning Objectives
Participants will:
  • Understand why people laugh
  • Learn how to use humor to make a speech memorable and inspiring
  • Practice techniques such as Reverses, Play on Words and Triples
  • Learn when and where to inject humor into a speech
