In this episode of the Ideas on Stage podcast we spoke with Beth Sherman.   In today’s fast-moving business world, attention is short, trust is fragile, and most presentations fall flat. Comedian and Emmy Award-winning comedy writer Beth Sherman teaches professionals how to use humour – not simply for laughs, but for connection, persuasion, and impact.   In this episode we talked about using humour to connect, engage and communicate with confidence.   What You'll Learn:
- Use humour as a tool to connect and communicate clearly
- Find the funny in truth, detail and self-awareness
- Know when humour helps – and when it doesn’t
- Avoid common humour mistakes in professional settings
- Start using humour, even if you don’t think you’re funny   We hope you enjoy it! ———————
