When using humor in your presentation, make sure it’s relevant to your key points. Use jokes, funny stories, or light-hearted examples that tie directly into the topic, helping to illustrate or emphasize your message. This way, humor doesn’t feel random, and it keeps the audience focused on your main ideas. Additionally, keep the humor appropriate for your audience and the context of the presentation. Avoid overdoing it—too much humor can distract from the important content. By using humor in moderation and ensuring it enhances, rather than overshadows, your key points, you’ll keep the presentation engaging and memorable while still being informative.
