If they are laughing, they are listening. Humour is a wonderful leveller and a great way of bonding with others. Throughout history, humour has proven its importance in life particularly in times of adversity. When you're laughing with people it brings you together and rids any nervous tension or worry. With a background in news and sports presenting and broadcasting, Jeremy Nicholas now specialises in helping professional speakers to add humour to their presentations. As a professional speaker, are you spreading your message using humour? Are you 'talking funny'?

KEY TAKEAWAY

"The other thing about humour is that it anchors a story in your memory. The humour and the story is almost like nectar and pollen and bees. You're attracting them into your flower because they're after the pollen but then inadvertently they're spreading it."
