Synopsis

Do you feel that:

• Speaking humorously is beyond you—but you wish it wasn’t?
• You are uncomfortable or shy about using humor in speeches?
• You don’t know where to begin, even if you wanted to, to add humor to your speeches?

If you nod your head in agreement with any of the above, this book is for you. It will show you how to easily inject humor into your speeches. No, it won’t turn you into an overnight success as a stand-up comic—but it will put you on a path, guided by many examples, which will give you the comfort and confidence to create humor. Yes, there is hope for Non-Humorists! There are a variety of ways to spark laughter as a speaker. This book deals with the four easiest, based upon viewing and studying many hundreds of speeches and reading innumerable books on humor—Twists, Asides, Putdowns, and Exaggeration. They succeed, because they:

• Are simple to understand and use.
• Are easy to create, remember, and deliver.
• Have the element of surprise, the foundation stone of humor.
• Generate smiles and laughter which builds bonds with audiences.
• Have a low risk of failure, and if one does, it’s over-looked and quickly forgotten.
