Humor is very powerful. There is nothing
subtle about the effects of humor as its
effects are distinctly and immediately
visible. This cheerful weapon can make a
difference between joy and sadness, health
and sickness, pleasure and pain, victory and
defeat, as well as productivity and the lack
of it. Humor converts a defeat in to victory
and a humorous person, as well as a
motivational humorous speaker, is a winner
everywhere. Laughter is hailed as one of the
highest and most endearing human
emotions/feelings. It holds the key to
transforming any dull scene into a lively
one. It works instantly in diffusing tension
that looms in any kind of situation. Solemn
affairs like meetings can benefit greatly
from the infusion of laughter and by hiring
a funny speaker for your next meeting..
Just a smile can make or break a business
deal, close a sale, or start a new
friendship. When a genuine smile can change
a lot of outcomes for the better, imagine
what laughter can do. Laughter is a natural
stress buster. The health benefits of
laughter are numerous. From curing blood
pressure to alleviating depression –
laughter does a world of good to the body
and the mind. Laughter is truly the best
medicine. Even fake laughter qualifies. But
we are concerned here only with the effect
of laughter on a meeting set up and for
meeting planners and attendees. So here is
how laughter helps in meetings.
First of all, laughter relaxes people. A
bout of throaty laughter induces calmness.
The body and the mind bathe in the ‘feelings
of goodness’. A full throated laughter
relaxes the entire muscle groups of the body
and precipitates the release of endorphins.
Endorphin is a feel good hormone that is
normally secreted after a 30 minutes
exercise session. When we laugh there is no
need to wait for 30 minutes, endorphins are
released immediately to give the body and
mind freshness and a high that can last for
several minutes. And the good effects of
laughing for 30-45 minutes to the humorous
presentation of laughter speakers last the
entire day. Laughter helps in integrating
both the left side and right side of our
brain and thus helps in better absorption
and assimilation of information – a
prerequisite for meeting attendees.
Meeting attendees are not always in the best
frame of mind when they enter the meeting.
They often carry professional and personal
baggage on their minds right into the
meeting. Preoccupation with problems leads
to a closed mind characterized by lack of
attention, apathy, and impatience. Add to
that the drone of routine business
presentations and discussions. This is why
it is critical to hire a professional
humorous motivational speaker for the event.
Funny motivational speakers pitch in right
here and start using laughter therapy to
snap the attendees out of their spheres of
indifference and negativity. The relaxation
and freshness resulting from laughter clears
the minds of such meeting attendees in a
jiffy and makes them receptive to ideas.
They laugh and start paying attention. They
come out of their shells. Suddenly their
body language change. Their moods lift up.
Apathy and indifference give way to
infectious interest and enthusiasm. Within
minutes they get totally involved and
absorbed in the proceedings of the meeting.
Laughter results in a spirit of openness,
conviviality, and bonhomie that would be
impossible otherwise. The atmosphere
instantly gets charged with positive energy.
Positive vibes emanating from the laughter
speaker get transmitted as defenses and
negativity melt away. The milieu becomes
conducive for progressive and effective
confabulations.
When more laughter flows from the repertoire
of the corporate comedians the audience
starts to roll in the aisles with mirth.
Skillfully the humorous keynote speaker
broaches the topics that form the part of
the meeting. The meeting becomes a cheerful
and yet purposeful event that every
participant cherishes for a long time –
thanks to the expertise of the humorous
keynote speaker. Being aware of the benefits
of harnessing the secret powers of laughter,
keynote speakers utilize them to the fullest
extent possible to make meetings more
meaningful and productive. Funny corporate
motivational speakers design laughter
programs suited individually for
corporations. In the end of it, participants
exit with a spring in their steps, a purpose
in their minds, and a resolve in their
hearts.
