On The Jokes

@matuvu

3 ways to integrate jokes:

1. Tell it2. Integrate it in the slide + talk

3. Only show it in your slide and have the audience notice it.

Connect With The Audience

@matuvu

You you need to make a personal connection with the audience.

A joke is a good way.Asking interaction is another.
