In our previous issues, we've delved into the theoretical aspects of humor, discussing its anatomy, the role of humor in leadership and various humor theories. Now, it’s time to put theory into practice. In this issue, I present three scenarios where you can apply your wit and humor. Reflect on how you would handle each situation humorously and share your thoughts in the comment box. In the next issue, I will reveal my own approaches through three of my YouTube videos.
The Tired Audience Dilemma
You are invited as a speaker for a virtual conference. The audience has been enduring a series of speakers and is visibly tired. Now it’s your turn. After your introduction, you need to captivate their attention with a touch of humor. How would you inject some much-needed energy into the room? I tackled this challenge by posing three consecutive questions to the audience. Share your approach in the comment box below. Stay tuned for the details tomorrow.
Introducing Transactional Analysis with Humor
In one of your sessions, you need to introduce the concept of Strokes, a key part of Transactional Analysis founded by Dr. Eric Berne. To set the stage, you want to start with a funny anecdote. How would you break the ice and shed your inhibitions to make the topic engaging? Please share your funny opening ideas in the comment box. Tomorrow, I will share the humorous anecdote I used to kick off this topic.
