Humor is an essential part of public speaking. At the same time, it can be quite a challenging aspect to manage.
There is plenty of advice out there for top entertaining speakers and how they should integrate humor into their presentations. Some say to open with a joke, while some advice was closing with one.
The use of humor in keynoting is much more complicated than this as it cannot be reduced to using a precise formula or checklist.
Instead, it’s all about improvising so the joke will blend naturally with the message they’re trying to convey.
