THE VITAMIN E
OF PUBLIC SPEAKING
Download this presentation for free. See slide 14.
GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR
What qualities put a public speaker or
presenter at an advantage when stepping up
in front of an audience?
YOU MIGHT EVEN CALL A SENSE OF HUMOR
“THE PRESENTER’S VITAMIN E”
When you’ve got it, it makes you:
Engaging
Entertaining
Effective
ENTERTAINMENT
Humor makes your audience feel better.
You and your presentation’s message are going to
stick in their memories – pleasantly.
ENGAGEMENT
Humor heightens your audience’s engagement.
You’ll have their close attention, which opens the
door to better reception, comprehension, acceptance
and retention of your message.
EFFECTIVENESS
Humor has a unique way of easing the natural
tendency to distance oneself from a difficult topic.
It enables you to relay your messages more smoothly
and effectively.
HOW SHOULD YOU
USE HUMOR IN
PUBLIC SPEAKING?
#1
KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE
Your knowledge will give you
insights into what they’re likely to
find humorous – or not.
#2:
KEEP YOUR HUMOR APPROPRIATE
AND RELEVANT
A joke or humorous reference should
reinforce your message. It should
keep things light, but not throw your
listeners off message and off track.
WARNING:
Be funny, but don’t downgrade
your brand, credibility, or
reputation in the process.
#3:
SELF-DEPRECATING HUMOR CAN
BE EFFECTIVE
Poking fun at your own weaknesses,
shortcomings or differences can help
make the audience more accepting.
#4:
KEEP IT CLEAN
Off-color jokes are almost sure to
offend someone in an audience of
professionals and make you look far
from professional.
#5:
IF YOU HAVE A HARD TIME
DELIVERING JOKES OR
PUNCHLINES WELL, YOU MAY
WANT TO SKIP USING THEM
Alternative: use humorous props or
photos.
When you hear something particularly good and funny,
take a moment to make a note about it so you’ll have it
on hand when it’s time to build your next presentation.
