Alan Stevens – Finding the Funny: How to put more humour into your talks

There is an old saying in professional speaking: “If you want to make money, include some humour.”

That does not mean you have to tell jokes, in fact that is a really bad idea. But it does mean that you need to find the humour in your topic and how to use it sparingly but well – like a good seasoning.

Alan Stevens has been running comedy events for decades. He is going to show us why, when and how to use humour in our talks to make them more engaging and entertaining – and worth more too !

Key Takeaways:

  • How to add humour to any speech
  • Using wordplay to create humour
  • How to involve the audience in humour
  • How to be more spontaneous

 

We also have a Showcase from Dave James – The Power of the Pause

 

If you speak for a living (e.g. a professional speaker, trainer, presenter in the media) or aspire to do so, then this is the group for you! Also, if you regularly give professional presentations to help showcase or promote your business, this group could really benefit you.

Come for the amazing keynotes and stay for the food, drink, and awesome company of your fellow professional speakers.
