I can just hear you saying, “ Come on now, Mike , can you
really teach someone to be funny and entertaining in just 60
minutes?” The answer is a definite YES I CAN.
I can teach you the skills you need in 60 minutes. What I
can’t do is give you the courage to go out there and use the
skills in social situations. But I even try to help you with
this in the section on shyness and confidence.
There is no doubt that some people have the gift of humor and
wit in abundance. It seems to come naturally to them. The
danger many naturally gifted humorists face is hogging the
platform and not appreciating the humor of others.
While I love being in the presence of naturally funny people I
do begin to get irritated when they dominate the social
setting and don’t appreciate what others have to offer.
I don’t take a back seat to them. Neither should you. Just
look for an opening and jump in.
Even if you don’t have the gift to the same degree as others
you can still shine when it comes to humorous and entertaining
conversation.
Only you can provide the DESIRE, DETERMINATION AND REFUSAL TO
ACCEPT ANYTHING BUT SUCCESS.
So stay with me, read and digest my suggestions, practise them
daily and watch yourself transform into a humorous
entertaining social butterfly.
Everyone wants to be funny and entertaining when engaged in
social interaction but many have difficulty doing so. Join me
in unleashing your Humor Potential.
What’s Stopping You from Being Funny and Entertaining?
* Shyness
* Fear of failure
* Fear of looking foolish
* low self esteem and self image
* negative self talk
* Embarrassment
* You love your comfort zone
To achieve your Funny potential make friends with your
discomfort zone.
Force yourself to do what you are uncomfortable doing and
watch great things begin to happen.
Funny Types
When considering your funny potential you have to examine
yourself closely to determine how you relate to others
humorously. In my thinking there are 5 types of “ humorous”
people.
1. People who can entertain and make others laugh easily in
both large and small group settings.
2. People who can entertain and make others laugh in small
groups but not in larger ones.
3. People who appreciate the humor of others and laugh easily
but are not bold or confident enough to take the humor lead.
4. Those who think they’re real jokers but no one else does.
These people can be real pains when they try to be the
constant comic in every situation. When they tell a story
they drag it out tediously, get confused regarding details,
flow and sequence and when they do get to the punch line it
flops BIG TIME.
5. Very shy people who have a sense of humor but who just are
not comfortable or confident when it comes to general
conversation let alone making someone laugh.
No matter which of the above types you fit into there is
hope. I am sure that if you follow my suggestions you can
begin a process of emergence from whatever type you are into
the type you’d like to be.
