If corrective actions are warranted, save working on them for private discussions with the appropriate staff members. Be Appropriate Humor is a wonderful technique for establishing rapport with an audience. If you plan to use humor, be appropriate. Avoid making fun of anyone or anything that might offend people in your audience. Often, the only safe target of humor is yourself.
Jokes are the most elementary form of humor.
People will know you are telling a joke. And there is a chance that someone else told the same joke earlier. The best types of humor are original stories that make a point. For example, you might tell about the time that you left your luggage in a hotel lobby, the struggles you encountered to retrieve it, and the outstanding service you received from the clerk who found it. This story shows the value of great customer service.
