SPF or a Winter Coat?
Getting used to using humor in everyday situations (especially with strangers!) is kind of like moving from a winter coat to SPF.
All the directions, practice, and thinking about what you’re going to say–that’s like putting on a winter coat. You are aware of it, you take it on and off, it’s not really natural to you (in May; unless you live in W.PA…).
But, once you’ve got the gyst (i.e. “GetYourSHINETogether”…) of it, humor is like putting on SPF sunscreen–it becomes seamless, weightless, and completely natural to you. Then, when it’s time for you to give a speech or presentation, your humor will be organic, natural, and will just flow from your words.
No longer will you have to scrounge around to find ‘jokes’ to shove into your speech. You can just notice the humor naturally come out of the content of your speech.
Now go and “Get Your SHINE Together” and don’t forget to wear SPF!
