Humor Isn’t Just for Comedians.
One of the biggest misconceptions about humor is that it’s only useful if you want to become a stand-up comedian. It’s not. Humor is one of the most powerful tools a speaker, entrepreneur, coach, educator, salesperson, auctioneer, or leader can learn to use. Because when people laugh: - they relax - they trust you more - they remember more - they stay engaged longer - and most importantly… they feel connected to you That connection is what moves people. Over the years I’ve seen speakers with incredible information lose a room because they sounded robotic… while other speakers with less experience completely win an audience because they knew how to use humor, timing, stories, and personality to create energy. That’s why I made this slide. Not to say “become a comedian.” But to show you that humor is a strategic advantage. And honestly… most people use humor completely backwards. They think it’s about telling jokes when really it’s about: - relatability - rhythm - emotional release - audience psychology - tension and release - and human connection That’s what we’re really studying in this community. So whether you speak on stages…run meetings…teach…sell…lead…pitch…or just want to become more engaging and memorable…you’re in the right place. And if one of these 10 points hits you… comment on it below. I’d love to know which one stands out most to you and why. Because the more you understand why humor works…the more intentional you can become using it.

I work as a behavior specialist with elementary school kids. I use humor with kids who are expecting a “you’re in trouble” conversation. When the kid is expecting a “you’re in trouble conversation”, **sometimes** a little humor goes a long way. At the very least, the chair won’t be thrown immediately if you throw a humor curveball. I regularly knock students off balance by coming into conversations with an offbeat approach … which gives me more control. 😈
