18. Humor on Purpose with Michael Hoffman

Description

When it comes to giving Catholic talks, where does “humor” fit in?  Is it just a matter of telling jokes you found on the internet or do you have to be a naturally funny person to do it right?   Well, it turns out - it’s not about jokes and you don’t have to be a budding stand up comic to make humor work.  

In my incredible conversation with Michael Hoffman, a 30 year + professional speaker, trainer, and leader we jumped right away into this topic - about humor - and it’s necessary role in communication.  But again - don’t just think “jokes”, ask yourself “what can I do to help people more deeply receive the often hard or uncomfortable  truths I want to share?”  Right there is where the secret lies. 

Michael Hoffman has been igniting and equipping business and faith audiences as a professional keynote speaker and trainer for 30 years.  In everything he does he tries to connect his communication skill sets in service, sales and leadership to having the impact of love in a business world that needs it so desperately.
