Motivational humorous speakers can be huge assets to meeting planners. By combining their great wit and passion for empowering people to achieve their dreams, they help ensure that those who plan meetings are rewarded with amazing results.

Motivational humorous speakers are hot commodities for meetings of all types and sizes. Adept speakers have the versatility to entertain a crowd of ten or ten thousand. They arrive at the meetings with two things in mind: to make the audience laugh and to persuade them to reach for their goals and surpass them.

To be sure, these humorists are often the highlight of gatherings that may have serious subjects on their agendas. In order to maintain their attention, audiences want and need a little levity. Laughter has been proven to be the best medicine, and these motivational humorous speakers hand out free prescriptions.

Whether it be with jokes, props, or volunteers from the crowd, these speakers will always get the job done. They truly put their hearts and souls into conveying their message via entertaining communication.

Motivational humorous speakers work tirelessly to support and encourage people from all walks of life. Without them, society would not have as much ambition or dedication. These special speakers often serve as a beacon of hope for those who may have become discouraged or complacent along the way. They act as a guiding light through life’s stormy seas.

In addition, speakers who use humor are able to better resonate with their audiences. Listeners often can relate to the speakers’ metaphors and mnemonic tools more so than if the information were packaged differently. By allowing the audience this opportunity, results can be exponentially improved; this reflects well on the meeting planner and he or she will receive a grateful pat on the back and deep appreciation from the public.  Read more...

Abraham Lincoln was well known in his day for his sense of humor, and often told funny stories to engage and earn the trust of his audience.

During the Civil War, he sometimes visited Washington area hospitals to lift the wounded soldiers’ spirits. After one such visit, a journalist entered a hospital to find infantrymen boisterously laughing and talking about the president. He found it curious to see injured men to be seemingly so healthy.

“You must be very slightly wounded,” he said to the soldier.

“Yes,” the soldier replied, “Very slightly. I have only lost one leg, and I’d be glad to lose the other, if I could hear some more of ‘Old Abe’s’ stories.”

What Honest Abe knew, and what more people should learn, is that humor is an incredibly powerful tool that can make anyone happy and attentive even in the most trying of circumstances. When somebody engages you with humor, you genuinely want to listen, and soak up more of what they are saying. If humor can engage and motivate someone subjected to Civil War era medicine, it can engage and motivate anyone. And that’s why hiring a motivational humorous speaker makes good sense!

Today, motivational humorous speakers use the massive power of comedy to make people laugh and increase personal potential. The magic of humorous motivational speaking is its ability to stimulate people with comedy while delivering gobs of inspirational content. Unfortunately, most traditional speakers (whose speeches can sometimes be as bad as Civil War era medicine) totally miss the chance to get their message across by dryly orating in a monotone and artless way.  Read more...

Motivational Humorous Speakers Teach Teachers

Teachers have the glorious responsibility of imparting education to students. There are fewer jobs more venerable than that of a teacher, for they are entrusted with the task of molding the lives of very young people. Ideally a good teacher has a solid command over her subject of specialization. She is also equally skillful in influencing and help shaping the personality of a student. After parents it’s the teacher that makes an immeasurable contribution in the personality development and academic achievement of the student.

A committed and astute teacher uses motivation profusely. She knows a pat on the back, a smile, and a few good words in praise of hard work done by a student can go a long way in encouraging him/her to do better. Good grades are fine motivators and the A’s help, but it’s the constant motivation of the teacher that works like magic.

Though it’s the responsibility of the teachers to motivate the students to excel in studies, sports, and other constructive activities many teachers do not know the fine art of motivation. Their ignorance about the nuances of motivation makes them poor

Motivational humorous speakers enter the picture here. They teach the teachers about the fine art of motivation by the use of humor.

Children are the ones that laugh easily. They are not weighed down by the cares of the world yet. Just making a funny face or mimicking an animal would set them on the course of unstoppable laughter.

Motivational humorous speakers can help bring humor and motivation into the proverbially stressful workplace. Recent studies reveal that humor and motivational humorous speakers can have a positive impact on the corporate bottom line, since a good sense of humor is a key communication tool that can bring about group cohesion and commitment, thus facilitating good performance and increased productivity.

A Gallup poll in 2005 found that only 31 percent of all employees felt engaged in their work and a sense of connection to their organization. These are the ones who drive innovation and move the company forward. But while an overwhelming 52 percent of the workers were not engaged and merely sleepwalked through their jobs, an alarming 17 percent were actively disengaged and unhappy in the workplace – they not only did not contribute positively to productivity, but also had a negative impact in that they undermined what the engaged workers were trying to accomplish. This Gallup study estimated that the lower productivity of actively disengaged employees could cost the U.S. economy up to $370 billion each year.

A recent survey conducted by an international consumer research firm reveals a full 90 percent of participants believe humor in the workplace helps relieve stress and a further 60 percent believe they would be more productive if their employers encouraged the use of humor. The results of the study indicate that the humorous style of a manager may be one of a number of factors that contribute to bottom-line performance and that the style of humor exhibited by a leader had a positive impact on unit performance. They suggest that leader’s use of humor may help shape a creative and efficacious work force. It also found that managers with a “transformational” leadership style – a management style known to promote the highest levels of employee and overall organizational performance – use humor most often.  Read more...

Humorous Motivational Speakers Hold the Key

The factor that sets humorous motivational speakers apart from the rest of motivational speakers is – the power of humor. In these days of shorter attention spans, getting the ears of the meeting attendees itself is a difficult task, if not an impossible one. Executives now are bombarded with a glut of information on everything. Unless they hear something very interesting or funny they just do not pay attention.

So to make them sit up and really listen to a speaker is a job that only humorous motivational speakers achieve with ease. Of course, they work and practice hard to achieve this. The use of humor makes even the most apathetic participant in a meeting to take notice and join in the fun. Once there is interest shown by the meeting attendees the rest becomes easy.

What Humorous Motivational Speakers Do

Humorous motivational speakers use liberal doses of humor to lighten the entire meeting atmosphere. Their cheerful and funny talks bring out the meeting attendees out of their shells of defensiveness and make them amenable to suggestions.

The easy manners and friendly attitude of humorous motivational speakers help in developing a rapport with the audience instantly. These gurus of motivation slowly and effectively goad the participants to join them in the process of unlocking their own unrealized potentials.

Humor Works Well

Let’s face it – nobody loves to sit through a boring lecture, speech, or workshop. Chances are that while an ordinary motivational speaker rants off on a topic, the participants are mentally preparing their next sales call or even struggling to stay awake. Humor is the only factor that livens up the proceedings of a speech or seminar. Hearty laughter relaxes the mind and the body muscles. It gives the inner organs of the body nearly a work out that physical exercises can give. The audience instead of drifting away starts paying attention, because no one wants to miss out on a good joke.  Read more...
