Use good humour

  • Be relaxed and be faithful to your own sense of fun and good humour
  • Relate humour to the training topic or the point you want to make
  • Use funny anecdotes to illustrate a point
  • Keep it simple and clear
  • Develop the capacity to laugh at yourself. Don’t take yourself too seriously.
  • Keep the humour relatively disciplined so that you don’t get off track or waste time
  • When things go wrong, or you make a mistake – show that you are relaxed enough to laugh about it, and laugh at the situation.
  • Remember that you don’t have to be original – you can ‘borrow jokes’ from well-known comedians or sources of funny material.
