When delivering a serious message, humor can be a powerful tool to keep your audience engaged and receptive. Here’s how to blend humor seamlessly:

• Know your audience: Tailor your jokes to fit the cultural and social context of your audience to avoid misunderstandings.

• Use self-deprecating humor: This can make you more relatable and defuse tension without undermining your message.

• Balance is key: Sprinkle humor sparingly to complement your message, not overshadow it.
