Presentation Skills That Work
If you need someone to teach your participants basic presentation skills or how to put together a presentation, boy are you in the wrong place! But, if you know the basics and feel that using humor effectively in a presentation will help you get your message across plus keep your audience engaged, then you're in the right place.
Everyone agrees that humor, when used appropriately, is a powerful tool that will keep your participants alert and awake, increase retention, stimulate cre8tivity and enhance the listener's reaction towards you. Whew! That was a mouthful.
The problem is that most business people don't know how to use humor effectively as a presentation skill. You know that too because you've slept through their presentations. In fact, you may be one of them.

"Joyfully
exhausted..."
"I have never seen this crowd have so
much fun and learn at the same time. I was joyfully
exhausted by the time you finished and anxious for more!
I'd recommend you to anyone!"
Michael Barr, VP, TRC Staffing Services
If They Snooze, You Lose!
This is the only program in the country that focuses on humor and delivery, possibly the two most important aspects of your program. You don't believe me? How many times have you drifted off or actually fallen asleep during an information-packed dry presentation?
Be honest:
Have you ever fallen asleep during a presentation?
Have you ever had someone fall asleep during your presentation?
Have you ever fallen asleep while you were presenting? I bet there are a few of you that could answer yes to that one too.
These days you can't hold an audience with information alone. You have to engage them, or you're going to lose them to their "Crackberrys" and cell phones. You will learn our proven methods for grabbing your audience by their funnybone from the "get go".
You need Professional Help
Your Humor coach, Jeff Justice, CSP has been training business people as well as professional speakers, the art of using humor both on stage and in presentations since 1990. He has developed techniques that allow anyone to use humor effectively no matter how dry they may come across.
I trained one business leader whose wife said to me sarcastically before his presentation, "I can't wait to see this. I've been married to him for seventeen years and I've never once heard him say anything funny." By the end, she was floored!

"Laugh Your Way To The Top"
"The boss who wants to get results should take lessons from stand-up comedians. The witty executive gets bigger bonuses and better performance ratings", says the Harvard Business Review.
"Appropriate humor used skillfully, greases the management wheels, reduces hostility, deflects criticism, relieves tension, improves morale and helps communicate difficult messages."
