Jokes and Illustrations

A few good jokes, quotes, or illustrations in a presentation are like the salsa on top of a plate of nachos! They give it a zing! A spice! A 'wake up' the tastebuds taste! Unfortunately, presenters forget the "salsa" and force us, the listener, to eat dry chips!

Have you ever sat through a presentation and wondered why you were even there? The presenter begins dumping out information and immediately you knew this was a sleeper. It’s happened to all of us. The sad part is that the one who is up there blabbering on thinks that he or she is giving a life-changing talk!

Unfortunately, many presenters focus on the material that needs to be given by not on the receiver or the way it’s being delivered! Very sad!

Simple humorous quips or life stories interspersed every few paragraphs add a huge KICK in that not only keeps the audience awake but helps illustrate the point being made. Click here for some jokes and links
