A Funny thing happened on the way to the Boardroom:

Using Humour in Business Presentations

 

 

 

A Funny thing happened on the way to the boardroom: Using Humor in Business Speaking (Paperback)
by Michael Iapoce

Perhaps the best of its genre, this book offers detailed advice on the effective use of humor in business situations such as presentations, meetings, or seminars. The author is a speech writer who places the onus of boring corporate meetings on the speakers themselves. No one is too important to consider their audience, and Mr. Iapoce effectively nudges “suits” to loosen their ties and deliver their messages effectively. Its comedic tips are simply that: tips for catching the attention of listeners thus ensuring that one is “heard.”

He presents the basics of writing humorously in a clear, step-by-step fashion, and reveals invaluable tricks of the trade for creating one’s own custom-tailored jokes using techniques employed by professional comedy writers. Also provides short one-line jokes arranged by subject, as well as longer, story-type jokes arranged by the meaning or the point that the story illustrates.

What makes this book so good is that you can make jokes of your own that fit the occasion — it isn’t just a run of the mill joke book.

 “Excellent! It even works for lawyers!, Few gatherings cry out for humor as loudly as those in which all the attendees are lawyers. Let’s face it: they’re usually the joke, not the jokers”

Speaking and presenting is something I’m passionate about. Why? Because it’s another way to start conversations and build relationships. Or, it can be, if you think about how you present. Here are some recommendations on ways to turn your bullhorn into a party hat in the presentation world.
