In our last issue, I challenged you to think about how you could inject humor into three different scenarios. The response from all of you was fantastic! Your creativity and wit are truly inspiring.
As promised, today I’m revealing my approaches to those scenarios through three of my YouTube videos. Each video showcases how I tackled the challenges with humor, and I hope these examples will spark even more ideas for your own speaking engagements.
The Tired Audience Dilemma
In the first scenario, I was tasked with energizing a virtual conference audience that had been listening to speaker after speaker. To break through the monotony and grab their attention, I used a series of three consecutive questions. These questions not only woke the audience up but also set a humorous tone for the rest of my talk. Watch how I did it in this video.
Humorous Introduction to Transactional Analysis
For the second scenario, where I needed to introduce the concept of Strokes in Transactional Analysis, I started with a funny anecdote. Humor can be a powerful tool to break the ice, especially when dealing with complex psychological concepts. In this video, you’ll see how I used humor to make the topic more relatable and engaging for the audience.

The Weirdest Application of Mind Mapping
Mind mapping is a versatile tool, and in the third scenario, I explored one of its most unconventional uses. While mind mapping is often used for serious tasks like project planning and book authoring, I took it in a completely unexpected direction. Curious to know what it was? Check out this video to discover the weirdest application of mind mapping I came up with.
These videos illustrate how humor can be seamlessly woven into your presentations to create a memorable impact. Whether you’re facing a tired audience, introducing a complex topic, or just thinking outside the box, a bit of humor can go a long way.
