What If You're Not Funny - Lessons From a Motivational Speaker

I’m not witty. In my professional life I have found myself suddenly being asked to fill in and present. Rather than throw my hands in the air and protest I created a list of funny lines as a go-to prompter. It has taken away my stress and anxiety many times.

The key learning here is that you do not need to be funny. You can just read well-written lines. If something is funny for the right reasons you can deliver it with little theatrical effort and you’ll be well received by the audience.
