Judy's TIP SHEETS
Free, Downloadable Reports
I love the English language. I love its limitless potential to inspire, educate and entertain. And it has made me sad and frustrated that this wonderful language has become so coarsened, with R-rated language peppering conversations everywhere. Many parents and teachers care about this, too, and so I’ve written two special reports, each one with practical tips, to help keep young kids from picking up the four-letter habit, and another to help teens kick the habit. It can be done!
And for anyone who aspires to speak in public, or who needs to speak in public, I’ve also written a special report on how to naturally include humor in public presentations, including tips from top comedians and other humor writers. I welcome you to download these reports, and I hope you find them useful.
12 Tips to Add Humor in Public Speaking
o Inject relatable humor right from the beginning of your presentation
o Find humor that will work for your audience, and what topics to avoid
o Use effective self-deprecating humor—not loser humor
o Tips on how to keep the audience engaged
