If you aren’t providing the audience with information that they didn’t already know, then you are wasting their time.

So adding an appropriate amount of humor to your speech is very valuable to keep your audience engaged throughout your presentation.SHOW NOTES: https://www.fearlesspresentations.com/podcast-how-add-humor-your-speech-without-being-clown
