Humor can be a powerful tool for enhancing communication, deepening audience connection, and advancing persuasive messages — if you're intentional and conscientious about how you use it. Participants will learn basic humor theories and apply them to real-world examples and group exercises. We will consider how audiences will process each type of humor and how each can be used to present different types of content. The ultimate goal: use humor without undermining your message or alienating your audience.
