Humor

help. It’s for sure! In a market that most organizations and their employees feel the intricacies of Russian economy – a key ingredient for businesses and event planners searching in their keynote speaker is the ability to make people laugh. Yes, they want results. Yes, they want change. Yes, they want motivation. But they usually include that before any of these things can happen – they gotta get their team members or audience to sit, read and trust the person on the scene and one of the best ways to do that is through humor.

Julie. Connie is a great story – and I heard you – You are funny, so I “m glad the title stuck! May be a “speaker funny” is in your DNA! Now, tell me more about why humor is so important. Do not you think that most organizations today are dealing with serious issues and would think that humor would be distracted from their desire to get people motivated andConnie: Yes, I agree with this – however, Many organizations completely underestimated the power of humor. They may feel they dilute the message and remove the seriousness of the issues to be discussed. However, my research shows that humor – is the right course – does exactly the opposite. I can not even imagine trying to tackle some difficult issues, I am invited to respond, but my ability to bring humor in every situation. Let’s face it – the public can not make slideshows, statistics and charts for so long – right?

is the vehicle through which I can get an audience to relax, open, think more clearly, and give up some defenses that stand in the way they grow and learn new things, stay competitive, increasing sales, driving more efficiently and live the life they want and deserve. I think humor is an absolute key if an organization wants their powerful messages have long-term results.Julie: How can an organization ensure that when they hire a “speaker funny” – they will also be able to have their audience to come away with powerful action items, strategies, ideas and tools that will help them achieve longer term. Your thoughts

Connie: First, take a look at their website. If “funny” comes first – then you might not have the right speaker to deliver powerful messages of long-term you want. And make no mistake, there are times when funny is that anyone would like a presentation after dinner. And I am very well do that. But I still want my comedy to have so much more bang for your buck! I want to be the glue that holds the tools and strategies bring together.

Second, pick up the phone! I always recommend to have a very open dialogue with any speaker you are considering for your event. Be sure that when you talk to them that you communicate your needs and expectations of organizations. Go ahead and tell them you want a funny speaker to help lift the spirits and motivate your team, but let them know you want more than that. As I said, comedy can be an extremely powerful vehicle to deliver an incredible message if used in the right way.

Julie: I love this -. “The humor with a purpose.” Clearly not everyone agrees with this well as they should. I know that some meeting planners are afraid to hire someone who is regarded as a speaker funny. They may have had some bad experiences with speakers that were inappropriate or less politically correct. Can you share the fine line between being funny and being rude or inappropriate platform

Connie: I do not think there is a “fine” line – I think that there is never a situation where? even a “funny” speaker should use humor inappropriately. If people want to pay money and go to comedy clubs where this type of humor is very common, is their business. But in a business, humor business environment must be professional, appropriate, fun, useful and comfortable for everyone in the audience. That’s why I chose “corporate comedy” on “Comedy Club”. I show that it is possible to do one hour of comedy to say or do something inappropriate or uncomfortable. That, to me, is real comedy

Julie: I agree! How do you feel is the secret to do all these things at once?

Julie “oh so true!” What about people who do presentations themselves? What advice do you have to help them incorporate more humor in content

Connie: First, let me tell you this – copies of cartoons on slides and show them to the audience to laugh is not humor. Humor comes from within. C ‘ is why I have always loved Seinfeld. It is never inappropriate. He did not tell jokes. He just tells stories that make people laugh because we can affect them. If people want to incorporate humor in their presentations, then they have to be very open and vulnerable. They must be able to make fun of themselves. There is no room for ego when it comes to a lot of humor. And humor is not only in the content – is a matter of timing. A great orator funny can make people laugh by the way she talks, looking head, or facial expressions. And he n ‘There’s nothing funnier than the break right at the exact time right.

Connie: It could not be a better job the world to me. To be able to give people the knowledge and tools they need to succeed. The motivation to have the confidence and attitude necessary to be courageous power to change. And then be able to laughter – and some of my viewers have not laughed in a long, long time – it’s pure heaven.

First, I want to give a working definition of British humor: an experience strange, odd or interesting observations or events, and in general, which may or may not appeal to laugh sound described later. English sense of humor is a sense of fun and have agreed ratio, which is not the same as feeling strange taste mixtures. Axiom can be a bit of advice: beware of people do not laugh line jokes

. Laughter Joke, the potential measurable, the size of a small laugh at jokes, laughing joke of the size, the size of hearty laughter a joke. The humor has no such restrictions, for example, can give the reader a quiet pleasure, on the other hand, if it is to attract the reader by surprise, and in the right mood, the effect can be violent and long term, the case of my induction, uncontrolled laughter surge, hiccups, and trying to regain breathing, snoring, a strange noise.

humor is not his, has announced its intention to make you laugh value. Funny funny or telling others to stop is that they must control their sense of humor, sense of humor is the most personal property, must not be altered. Any attempt to change the individual comedy, if it is just a joke .. the line is funny, it’s owners as soon as possible and recommend at least the end of one. Hilarious and very disappointed

took about twelve years for the 500 years to form a selection of humorous prose. From the collection of English humor is pure materials in large quantities, in addition to himself, but also the operation of hundreds of years as the kitchen of a good stock, other types of rich comedy and give added flavor. Wit and humor proved to be their most popular intelligent mind, that with humor and irony, is widely regarded as effective humor joke, in a deep observation of the call.

comedy does not work in isolation, its audience has expectations and confidence in a good mood, a mood, create a comedian with his opening remarks. In the literature, the humorist set to accept the feelings that he wanted his readers with the opening paragraph of his comments about their description of how to extract to make films and funny jokes humor quote a line, write, or perhaps why the story or a fact or a gossip writer, or time that had happened, the goal is to enable readers to start in a good state of mind, each to enjoy it.
