HumorPalooza

Attended the NSA-Virginia luncheon in Richmond last week. Great presentation by Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), Ronald P. Culberson, of Funsulting.com on how to discover, develop and deliver humor in your own speeches and presentations. Be sure to check out Ron's blog, too.


Why humor? Humor gives balance to the serious, jump starts creativity for a new perspective, makes everything more fun, engaging and entertaining. Humor works, and it's all around you. Just look for the odd in everyday life.

There's verbal humor such as quotes, jokes and personal stories. There's visual humor such as funny actions and movements, props, humorous slides. There's also experiential humor, such as engaging an audience with interactive activities, using volunteers or fun small group activities.

My favorite new (humorous) quote:

"Love each day as if it's your last. One day you'll be right."
