Tier 1 · Module 05
Humor
Lighten a room on purpose, not by luck.
Why it matters
A joke connects you with someone faster than any amount of description, emotion or logic. Delivered well and for a purpose, one witty line can do more for you at work than everything you said before it.
A bad joke, in poor taste and badly delivered, leaves a sticky, negative impression. This module makes sure that never happens to you.
Progressions
Four progressions, practised until they're yours.
Value
The value inside a joke, and which jokes work best in which contexts.
Structure
Write jokes with a simple, repeatable system.
Delivery
Deliver a range of jokes you've written, in different contexts.
Application
Add jokes to your prepared and unprepared speaking drills until thinking of them, writing, choosing and delivering them is part of how you naturally express yourself.
