“A good laugh makes any interview or any conversation, so much better.” — Barbara Walters
Well, Barbara is right!
Humor has been and will always be the most effective interactive tool for a presenter but that doesn’t mean that you start your presentation with a stand-up comedy routine. For one thing, if your audience does not get the punch line, your presentation is going to take the awkward lane and might derail.
There are a few things that you can do to avoid this and yet keep your audience alert and on their toes during your presentation. Telling a humorous quote, story, or a visual also works great. You can also use polls as a humorous prop for your presentation to break the ice.
This not only enlivens your audience but also gains a useful perspective which helps in tweaking your session. Try to use the poll questions that are relevant to your presentation topic
