Today, we explore a second tip from my friend Lance Owen. I paraphrase our conversation. He suggests:
Use humour. Someone said, “I open a man’s mouth with laughter so I can pour a dose of truth into it.” Humour can be a very effective way of communicating important information.
If you’re just starting out with speaking or teaching, you might be wondering if there’s a place for a bit of a laugh in your lessons. Well, you’ve come to the right place! In this video and the next one, we’ll explore how you can weave humour into your presentations, making them more engaging and memorable. We’ll look at why it’s valuable, offer some tips, consider the potential pitfalls, and even peek at how the ultimate teacher, Jesus, used humour.
