Change is as good as a Rest

Attended speaker training today and we were looking at how humour can be used to convey a story.  Now, my normal story is quite emotional, so I decided to do something totally different, which also had a good deal of humour in it already.  It was really refreshing to tell something else and it made me think of the possibilities of that.  You have so many stories you can tell.  Yes the sad ones can be very emotive, but the funny ones have their place too.  A funny story can raise the energy levels and build a rapport between you and your audience.  A funny story doesn't have to be complicated and it can carry a simple message.  There are so many possibilities to be explored.  The good thing is in a training environment you can test ideas and see how they are received and it is exciting when you see positive reactions.
