Eager to practice your punchlines? If you want to incorporate more humor into your speeches, try the Engaging Humor path—the 11th path in Pathways. Its projects, which include titles such as “Know Your Sense of Humor” and “The Power of Humor in an Impromptu Speech,” provide tips on writing humorous speeches, using effective timing and pacing, crafting strong openings, and even how to cope when your jokes fall flat. (Hint: Don’t get upset with the audience.)
Like the other 10 paths in Pathways, Engaging Humor features an array of online tools to help strengthen your skills. Videos feature insights from experts such as Darren LaCroix, 2002 World Champion of Public Speaking, and longtime stand-up comedian Judy Carter, author of The Comedy Bible.
