- Understand your audience and tailor your humor to be appropriate and relevant to them. - Use light-hearted anecdotes, clever observations, and relatable experiences to make your points more engaging and memorable. - Avoid controversial or sensitive topics that could offend or alienate your audience. - Practice timing and delivery to ensure your humor feels natural and enhances your message rather than distracting from it. By incorporating tasteful and well-placed humor, you can create a warm and inviting atmosphere that captivates your audience, enhances your promotional efforts, and reinforces your credibility as a speaker.

Be authentic, humble, and professional - even with your jokes! Self-deprecating jokes that use "I" statements can be relatable for the audience and let the audience know you're relatable.

Props can be great but you need to use them mindfully. Any visual aid should be big enough to be seen from the back of the room, and it's a good idea to describe it in case anyone doesn't understand it, is visually impaired, or was looking at their phone!

While there isn't a section here to talk about "something else", I will add it here. You can be funny or humorous without planning for it. Public speaking is a great improv challenge. People want to have fun and seeing you have fun with the presentation will put them at ease. Be organic. Now there may be rare occasions where a joke might not have been appropriate at all (or may have been misconstrued). Go with your gut. If you think you need to apologize, do it. Otherwise, don't dwell on it and move on. Focus on what you're there to do - deliver information (and maybe even insights) to people.
