Laughter: The Best Medicine
Reader’s Digest brought many light hearted moments to their readers with it’s popular Laughter: The Best Medicine section. How can an event planner use humor to her advantage?
One of the best ways is to find a motivational speaker who has a message and keeps a sense of humor. Why not include some lighthearted stories in a presentation? Everyone enjoys a few jokes, especially ones they can share with friends and family once they have returned home and the conference is over. A relaxed audience is a more attentive one. Life is too short to forget to smile.
Humor raises morale, which is a key element for a motivational speaker. Some psychologists say that people are motivated by the push of pain or the pull of hope. A good speaker will draw his audience in with a strong message that change is possible. Looking on the bright side literally changes someone’s physical make up. Humor relaxes muscle tension, lowers blood pressure, and allows all the body’s functions to proceed at a more healthy rate.
Laughter inspires confidence and makes the imagination shore. Many times one funny story leads to another in a domino effect. A good motivational speaker builds on that and leaves his audience ready to put forth a greater effort and take on the world.
