Do you think some people are just born funny? Or can we all learn techniques to add humour to our communication?
My latest guest in my series of conversations with professional speakers is a motivational speaker, humourist and self proclaimed 'keynote tickler', and he teaches people how to add humour to keep audiences laughing and listening.
So I'm delighted to share this fun interview with the very talented Jeremy Nicholas.
Watch this episode to learn about:
1. How to add humour if you’re not naturally funny
2. The power of the right presentation structure
3. How to use the stage effectively for more impact
4. Techniques to hook your audience in the first three minutes
5. How to get people to pay attention to you and not your slides
6. Why you should always get someone to introduce you
7. How to ensure your punchline packs a punch
The video is packed full of tips and advice to help you improve the way you communicate, whether that's with an audience of 1 or 1000.
