    3 Ways How To Have Fun

    Prepare: Know what you are going to say. The more you know, the less nervous you will be and the more confidence you will have to let loose and have fun.

    Add Humor: Find places in your presentation, no matter how serious or dry the material is, to add humor. While reviewing your notes and writing out your presentation, if something pops into your head that is funny, just write it down, take a risk, and go with it. If your audience laughs, pause for the laughter and do not talk while they are laughing. If they do not laugh, just continue on and fuggetaboutit.

    Interact: Encourage participation among your audience. If someone makes a joke about something you just said, allow people to laugh. Who cares where the humor comes from, it's great to have an audience laugh. Laughter makes people feel good, it helps them to stay attentive to your presentation, and they leave feeling like they just had some fun. When you allow your audience to have fun, you allow yourself to have fun and vice versa.
