Leadership Track
The Humour Code
Everybody likes humour and humorous speeches. A humorous speech is one of the greatest things to listen to. Yet, many of us find it challenging to actually put humour into our speeches.
In this hands-on session we want to explore the art and science of humour. We will look at 9 basic laws of humour around the “The Humour Code”, including areas such as: laws of content creation; practical humour techniques; how to organize your speech with humour in mind; humour and delivery, and special tips and tricks of humour.
After the session you will have tested at least one good idea for humorous story to build into your speeches, e.g. for the upcoming speech contests.
