The 9 Public-Speaking
Secrets of the World’s Top Minds
The reason why many advertising and marketing experts suggest you do use humor is because it’s fundamental to forming positive relationships. We buy from people we like, and humor is the easiest and fastest way to get there.
Magda Kay
When you laugh with someone, you both feel you’re on the same side. It’s a fantastic tool for building a connection. Indeed, for many great speakers humor has become a superweapon.
Chris Anderson, TED, CEO
If you can make them laugh, you can make them buy.
Jeffery Gitomer
Nothing positions people for persuasion as well as a sense of humor.

This makes it easier for people to talk with each other.
Dick Costolo, Former CEO of Twitter
A rising tide lifts all boats. Great humor lifts all moods.
Robert Bostick
“There is no Algorithm for Humor.”
Robert Mankoff
What brings us together is laughter.
It creates a common bond when nothing else will work.
Tim Gard

Well-delivered humor creates a syncing feeling.
Robert Bostick
Laughter is the damn break of the blockage of love.
Steve Adler
Researchers from Tufts University have found that whether we like it or not, everyone makes a snap judgment when we first see someone. The researchers call this a 'thin slice'. The fastest way to slice someone’s judgment in our favor is with the perfect touch of humor. Robert Bostick
I know as a presenter until I make you laugh you will still be deciding whether or not you like me.
Robert Bostick, HumorPoint CEO, Founder
Humor is just the combining of ideas that aren’t normally associated with one another.
Tim Gard
Imagine a Presentation without any humor.
Now imagine one with humor.
Which one would you want to see?

When you showcase your ability to use humor well in a presentation
you give people another reason to think good things about you.

Great Humor.
Robert Bostick
Humor is what happens when we're told the truth quicker and more directly than we're used to.
George Saunders
People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing. Dale Carnegie
Life all comes down to feelings. The better we feel, the more of the best of ourselves we bring to whatever we do. Great leaders know this. Robert Bostick
When we live our lives on the precipice of a smile, we shift how we interact with the world, and in turn, how it interacts back.
Naomi Bagdonas
The #1 rule to promote your book & programs at the end of your talk:
“Say something funny then ask for the money.”
Tim David
If laughter is your best medicine what kind of medicine is it?
An anti-anxiety drug? An anti-depressant? A love drug?
All three.
Robert Bostick
To be an effective, memorable presenter the name of the game is making people feel good. Great humor helps you do that.
Robert Bostick
The irony of humor is people are afraid if they tell a joke
badly they will become the laughingstock of the room.
Robert Bostick
Leaders are sometimes reluctant to use humor because they fear it will reduce their credibility, but in fact, it usually enhances their perceived status. Audiences will take you seriously more of the time if they see you can afford to abandon seriousness some of the time.
Judith Tingley
A sense of humor costs nothing but not having one can be very costly.
Bob Ross
People don’t remember what you say,
they remember how you made them feel.
Maya Angelou
We’re here for a good time not a long time.
That’s where humor comes in.
Robert Bostick
My view is that if you can pull a humor rabbit out of the hat and surprise and delight your audience it pays for itself immediately.
The easiest rabbits to find are funny images, funny quotes,
funny personal stories, or funny videos.
Robert Bostick
All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.
All serious and no laughter makes Jack a dull presenter too.
Robert Bostick
Boredom isn’t a desired state of being, but rather an indication that the mind is craving to be engaged.
Humor is proven to increase the likelihood that your pitch or presentation will be successful, whether you’re pitching to one person or speaking to thousands. It also lowers defenses, making your audience more receptive to your message.
Carmine Gallo
Humor is a valuable way of capturing attention, boosting engagement, and increasing the impact of your message.
Andrew Tarvin
It is a fundamental truth that people
buy from people they know, like, and trust.
Establishing your likability helps all three.
Robert Bostick
We need to crack up, so we don’t crack up.
Dr. Kristen Lee
The way to live longer and stay healthier is Humor.
Adam Cheyer (Creator of Siri)
There is a reason the first goal in a presentation is to make
everyone smile. It is so everyone can warm up to you.
WARM is an acronym for When All Resistance Melts.
Robert Bostick
In a competitive sales situation, all things being equal, likability will be the tiebreaker. That's where demonstrating a nice likable sense of humor can make all the difference...and the sale.
Robert Bostick
The goal of any skilled presenter or marketer is simple:
make your audience feel as good as you can, as fast as you can.
The smart use of humor is a fun, easy way to do it.
Robert Bostick
Laughter makes us feel great. It’s healing and it’s fun. It makes life worth living, as well as making pain more bearable. There is no downside to using it in business as long as you keep it simple.

Laughter is still your best medicine.
International Pharmaceutical Association
Laughter is a powerful connection tool. Part of the evolutionary purpose of laughter is to create social bonding. Humor is a great way to become memorable, stand out from the crowd, and leave a positive impression as a likable and fun person.
The first emotion you want a potential customer
to have is to feel good about you.
Robert Bostick
Humor to me is valuable because we’re trying to get past crossed arms. The person in our audience, our buyer, they don’t automatically trust us. That’s not the natural intent. We need to get them to believe us. The cardinal rule of sales has been around forever is that people buy from people they like, trust, believe, and feel like they know. Humor, if done well and not offensively, allows you to become more human to them and become more likable. They buy you first before they buy whatever you’re selling.
Kelly Swanson
We all love a good laugh. Honestly, show me a living person who doesn’t love to laugh and I’ll show you a walking corpse. Humour is an incredibly relatable way to connect with people. It’s an eruption of happiness—everyone’s favorite emotion. So how do we make people remember us? We make them laugh.
Bryan Loewen
If you have any desire to be a professional speaker, you’ll make a lot more money if you can make people laugh.
Sharing humor is not about demonstrating how funny you are as much as it is about letting people know that you have a sense of humor.
Robert Bostick
No presentation strategy delivers a higher return on time invested than smart, well-delivered humor.
Robert Bostick
In social media, the unofficial mantra is 'be useful or be amusing,
in that order.'
Andrew Hanelly
Laughter is your best medicine is exceptionally high praise.
I think you can trust the medical professionals on this.

You grow old because you stop laughing.”
Michael Pritchard
To succeed in life you need three things:
a wishbone, a backbone, and a funny bone.
Reba McEntire
A sense of humor Is the secret sauce of a better life.
Robert Bostick
Let's face it.
If there was ever a time we needed humor
it's now.
Robert Bostick
So long as there's a bit of a laugh going, things are all right.
As soon as this infernal seriousness, like a greasy sea,
heaves up, everything is lost.
D.H. Lawrence
Humor is treacherous. It can charm, coax, and persuade,
but it can also distract, baffle or alienate the audience.
Eugene Finerman
Humour is by far the most significant behavior of the human mind.
It tells us something about perception which we have traditionally neglected in favor of logic. It tells us directly about the possibility of changes in perception. It shows us that these changes can
be followed by instant changes in emotion -
something that can never be achieved by logic.
The most remarkable thing about sharing great humor is the speed
at which it alters people's feelings about you for the better in
seconds.
Robert Bostick
Ever heard Laughter is the best medicine? Have you had your daily D.O.S.E.? Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, Endorphins. The love drugs. Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins are also called “angel chemicals” because they enhance people's well-being.
At work they stimulate and enhance employee engagement.
Robert Bostick
Laughter is a sunbeam of the soul.
Thomas Mann
And so, with laughter and love, we lived happily ever after.
Gail Carson Levine
One of my core tenets is to enjoy the ride. So jokes and humor are not only encouraged, they are part of our DNA. I believe that relaxes people and then they can be more expansive in their thinking.
Bottom line: Humor = profit.
Jay Steinfeld Founder of Blinds.com
When you start to laugh, your barriers come down. When you let the walls down--the protective obstacles that we keep all around us--without even realizing it, we become receptive to information, or a way of thinking that we haven't had before.
Morgan Spurlock
If laughter is "your best medicine" then learning how to develop
your sense of humor is one of the healthiest things you can do.
Robert Bostick
Humor is what happens when we're told the truth quicker and more directly than we're used to.
George Saunders
There is nothing like a gleam of humor to reassure you
that a human being is ticking inside a strange face.
Eva Hoffman
When people laugh together they bond together
and it improves employee morale.
Forbes Magazine
The most likable and lively way to create attention, rapport,
and respect with an audience is through amusement.
Robert Bostick
Making people feel good is what gets and keeps people’s attention. That’s why the Oscars always have a comedian as the host and the winner of every Super Bowl are the funniest commercials.
Robert Bostick
We all have reptilian brains that offer snap negative judgments of others. However, when someone shares some great
humor we're quick to judge them positively. Apparently,
even our reptilian brain enjoys a good laugh.
Robert Bostick
The power of humor isn’t just in building bonds or sparking creativity or increasing status or even improving resilience and mental well-being. It’s about finding a balance between gravity and levity and giving power to both.
Jennifer Aaker
Author of Humor, Seriously: Why Humor Is a Secret Weapon in Business and Life
McKinsey & Company "Why We Need More Humor at Work."
Business executives and political leaders have embraced humor because humor works. Humor has gone from being an admirable part of a leader’s character to a mandatory one.
Former Director of White House Speech Writing
Bob Orben
Laughter opens up an immediate pathway to the heart. It brings people together. This makes it eminently useful in presentations
...and Leadership.
Robert Bostick
Effective teachers, leaders, and business presenters know the first order of business is always the same - get the people in the room
to smile and relax with you.
Robert Bostick
Use humor at the beginning of your speech to let the audience know that they are going to have a good time. It will also help you relax by giving you what Peggy Noonan describes as "the quick victory of laughter."
Keith Davis
Once you hear that “laughter,” you know they’re with you.
John Hale
You only have to demonstrate intelligent wit one time
for people to never forget that you possess it.
Robert Bostick
To understand charisma, imagine the opposite.
Roger Dawson
Humour enhances liking. In fact, the link between humor and liking is stronger than for any of the other factors.
Freedman, Sears, and Carl Smith
One positive quality in a person causes us to assume that the individual has many positive qualities.
Seiter and Gass
One thing is just the ROI on humor. Leaders with a sense of humor are 27 percent more motivating and inspiring, their employees are 15 percent more engaged, and their teams are twice as creative.

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' but 'That's funny ...'
Isaac Asimov
A sense of humor is a socially valued trait that almost all of us would prefer to have more of. And a person with an undeveloped sense of humor lacks a social skill that puts them at a disadvantage.
Frank T. McAndrew Ph.D
Well deployed humor does more for a presentation’s success
than all the thought-leading ideas in the world.
Robert Bostick
Humor is the only communication method that increases attention, retention, and reduces tension, all at once.
Robert Bostick
Great humor, like a great outfit,
lets you dress up your presentation to look sharp.
Robert Bostick
Humor in public speaking is like the salt, spices, and herbs in cooking. The proper seasoning can change a tasteless dish into a gourmet’s delight. Humor can turn a dull speech into a resounding success.
Winston K. Pendleton
I would say that probably the biggest thing that holds people back is, 'If I do this, I'm going to look like an idiot if it doesn't work out.'
Scott Adams-Dilbert Creator
That is the saving grace of humor,
if you fail no one is laughing at you.
A. Whitney Brown
Fear takes us out of our hearts. Laughter brings us back in.
Robert Bostick
Does a professional speaker have to include humor in his talk? No. Only if he wants to get paid.
Cavett Robert, Founder, National Speakers Association
Laughter helps you connect with other people.
The Mayo Clinic
Companies try to make their Super Bowl ads as funny as possible because the funnier they are the more people talk about them and share them online. I say, why not do what the big boys do?
Robert Bostick
The shortest distance between two people is laughter.
Victor Borge
At the end of laughter is the height of listening.
Jeffrey Gitomer
"Laughter" increases the endorphins that are released by your brain.
The Mayo Clinic
People buy on emotion and the most popular emotion is feeling good.
Robert Bostick
Any justification your mind conjures up for not using humor
is laughable.
Robert Bostick
Start off with some fun, smart humor. People need to laugh within the first thirty seconds or else you're going back to your cubicle at the pencil factory and they will never remember you. Starting off with humor is what starts off the good feelings for the rest of your talk.
James Altichur
If you know how to make people laugh,
you'll have an advantage in any professional situation.
Robert Bostick
Nobody likes being marketed to, but by taking the funny approach, your message won’t just get received by your target audience, it may actually be welcomed.
Unknown
Comedy is a concealed weapon.
Jay Leno, Comedian
Laughter is the Shortest Distance Between Two Hearts. It is also the quickest way to get 500, or 1,000, or even 3,000 hearts together.
Marty Wilson
We all gravitate to people with a GSOH Good Sense of Humor. Research has shown we are drawn to people with a GSOH because it’s an indicator that that person is calm, centered, and has a strong psychological well-being. We should take a more deliberative approach to develop our sense of humor. Learning something new is hard. Laughing about how hard it makes it easier. Every phase of life has it beauties and difficulties. But everywhere along the way, we can ask “What’s funny about this?” There is always something.
Marty Wilson
It's funny because it's true.
Sarah Cooper, Comedian
As a professional speaker, I truly believe I could double or triple my business if I was funnier - and you should think about your own instincts with humor and how you can use them to your advantage.
Patrick Schwerdtfeger
More Yucks, More Bucks. No Funny, No Money.
Professional Speaking Proverb
A sense of humor is the ability to see the absurdity of life everywhere you look...especially at yourself.
Robert Bostick
The biggest skills gap in the United States is soft skills. It is how we communicate and get along. That is what matters.
Jeff Weiner, LinkedIn Executive Chairman
The most productive result of a meeting is laughter.
Robert Bostick
Humor can get in under the door while seriousness is still fumbling at the handle.
G.K. Chesterton
A sense of humor is a beloved
and coveted communication skill.
It speaks volumes about you.
All positive.
Robert Bostick
We’re here for a good time not a long time.
That’s where humor comes in.

Jeffrey Gitomer
Levity is a funny thing at work.
If they're busting a gut, they'll bust their butts.
The Levity Effect: Why it Pays to Lighten Up
Nothing builds rapport faster than humor.
Never forget that humor’s ability to poison a presentation is exceeded only by its capacity to lift it to another level.
Many years ago the late Willie Sutton was asked why he robbed banks. His answer was, “That’s where the money is.” Why humor? Because that’s where the influence, the appeal, the control, the good feeling--and eventually, the money is.
Robert Orben
Laughter is therapeutic. We turn to comedians the way we turn to doctors—for healing, for relief, for reassurance that everything will be OK in the end. When we laugh, we are reminded that life, for all of its heartbreak and pain, is still worth living.
Matthew Hennessey
Perhaps of all the communication strategies that leaders
utilize, the use of humor is most promising,
but least understood.
C. B. Crawford
You don’t have to be a professional comedian to use humor successfully. In fact, as a business person, you have a tremendous advantage: No one expects you to be funny. If you can’t tell a joke, you can still slip a light remark into a speech or conversation. Even if it’s not that funny, it will communicate the fact that you have a sense of humor. Remember, your goal isn’t to be hilarious, it’s to communicate your sense of humor.
Malcolm l. Kushner
Keep your humor “on target” by making sure it relates to the content of your program. That way, it enhances instead of detracting. On-target humor provides pegs for retention, illustrates key points, and generates genuine enthusiasm in an audience. Don’t ask, “Is it funny?” Ask, “Does it work in getting my point across and increasing commitment to my message.
Terry Paulson PhD
It feels significant that most five-year-olds are far less boring than most 45-year-olds. It’s because they make us laugh just by being themselves.
Robert Bostick
Audience laughter is like a dog wagging its tail.
Robert Bostick
At the end of laughter is the height of listening.
At the end of a spreadsheet analysis...not so much.
Robert Bostick
The sense of humor is the oil of life’s engine.
Without it, the machinery creaks and groans.
G.S. Merriam
I’m struck by how laughter connects you with people. It’s almost impossible to maintain any kind of distance or any sense of social hierarchy when you’re just howling with laughter.
John Cleese
A sense of humor is needed armor. Joy in one’s heart and some laughter on one’s lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life.
Hugh Sidey
Humorists also have a built-in tendency to see and enjoy the incongruities, ironies, absurdities, and ridiculous aspects of real life. They thrive on the oddities of things that happen.
Paul E. McGhee, How to Develop Your Sense of Humor
These are the people who give humor a good name. They’re perceived as warm, down-to-earth and kind, good at reducing the tension in uncomfortable situations and able to laugh at their own faults.”
Louise Dobson
If I can get you to laugh with me, you like me better, which makes you more open to my ideas. And if I can persuade you to laugh at the particular point I make, by laughing at it you acknowledge its truth.
John Cleese
Humor is the welcome mat between a speaker and his audience. A short joke, a quick laugh, breaks the ice between you and that sea of strangers. When they laugh they’re immediately on your side.
The laughter makes them your friend. It's the most powerful
ammunition you can carry. “Powerful” is the right word for the
word for the ammunition that humor gives you. I’ve seen a clever gag or story accomplish more than all the ranting
and raving in the world could.
Bob Hope
The attempt to develop a sense of humor and to see things in a humorous light is some kind of a trick learned while mastering the art of living.
Victor Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning
The more I live, the more I think that humor is the saving sense.
Jacob August Riis
How is Humor Useful?
The most important part is it enables us to get along with other people, to cope with difficulties, to diffuse tensions, and just simply to make life, in general, more enjoyable. And by having a sense of humor it means we have a perspective on the commonplace
everyday absurdity of it all.
Robert Makoff
New Yorker Cartoon Editor
Sharing humor in a presentation is a means to an end. The end is people find you likable, intelligent and someone they enjoy listening to and working with. Maybe even leadership material. Today the means to that end is available to everyone. It’s called HumorPoint.
Robert Bostick
Humor is a multi-billion-dollar industry, saturated with actors, stand-up comedians, humor authors, cartoon artists, filmmakers, comedy writers, late-night TV hosts and more. A “sense of humor” is something we actively seek in a partner, and in our closest friends. Our favorite people, characters, and memories are often the ones that make us laugh. Why is humor so lucrative, loved, and sought after? The answer is because humor makes us feel good.
Isabella Steele
I’ve written other social skills books, but I consider
humor to be the most advanced and most
life-changing topic. There’s a reason it’s so
highly coveted: humor is power. Humor helps
build connections and relationships in ways that
few other social interactions can. It makes all
participants feel good (laughing naturally
releases dopamine). It brings people
together in shared positive experiences
that are memorable and lasting.
