Question by Uncle Benito: Isn’t it humorous, and more than a little hypocritical, that Dems are screaming to see the facts and figures..?
…of the Republican economic plan, considering that 1) their entire platform in 2008 seemed to have consisted of “Hope and Change”, and 2) their Speaker of the House told us we (and even more humorously, SHE) would have to wait until after the Obamacare bill was passed in order to find out what was included?

What is their sudden interest in specifics when they were MORE than happy to engage in policy making which can best be described as “making it up as we go”?

Abraham Lincoln was well recognized in his day for his sense of humor, and usually told funny stories to engage and earn the trust of his audience.Throughout the Civil War, he at times visited Washington area hospitals to lift the wounded soldiers’ spirits. Right after 1 such visit, a journalist entered a hospital to find infantrymen boisterously laughing and talking about the president. He discovered it curious to see injured men to be seemingly so healthy. “You should be extremely slightly wounded,” he said to the soldier.”Yes,” the soldier replied, “Extremely slightly. I have only lost 1 leg, and I’d be glad to lose the other, if I could hear some much more of ‘Old Abe’s’ stories.” What Honest Abe knew, and what much more individuals should learn, is that humor is an incredibly powerful tool that can make anybody happy and attentive even in the most attempting of circumstances.

When somebody engages you with humor, you genuinely want to listen, and soak up more of what they are saying. If humor can interact and encourage somebody subjected to Civil War era medicine, it can interact and inspire anyone. And that’s why hiring a motivational humorous speaker makes great sense! These days, Top Change Management Speakers use the massive power of comedy to make individuals laugh and improve private prospective.

Question by benbenbull: Is “literally having a ZZZ” used in a figurative or humorous way?
the context is:
①The humiliation continues. ②At university graduation ceremonies, the ABCs proudly get their awards first; by the time they reach the Zysmans most people are literally having a ZZZ. ③Shortlists for job interviews, election ballot papers, lists of conference speakers and attendees: all tend to be drawn up alphabetically, and their recipients lose interest as they plough through them.

Funny. Would that be the first word to come to mind if you were told that you were going to be hearing a speech by a motivational speaker? It’s not likely. After all, we’ve all come across motivational speakers in one form or another (even if it was just on television) and funny isn’t really what they’re known for. Instead, the image drummed up by the phrase “motivational speaker” is one of a man in a business suit who is clearly trying to sell you something that you don’t need, preying upon your sense of inadequacy in some area to schmooze you into buying his product or service.

But this is not always the case. Not every motivational speaker is the upscale equivalent of the door-to-door salesman. In fact, there are motivational humorous speakers out there who make use of a good sense of humor and the charm that they have with crowds to get you laughing and enjoying yourself. Attending an event by one of these speakers is almost like going to see a stand-up comedian. Sure, it might cost a little bit more, but you’re actually a lot more likely to take something away from the experience.

Inspirational motivational speakers become indispensable when meetings become events where motivation is in short supply; the underachievers are pulled up; and competitors are lauded grudgingly for their successes. Keynote laughter speakers lighten up the atmosphere and put things in perspective in business meetings where big monetary figures are put on the tables; falling graphs are dissected to tiny atoms to be analyzed; and achievements are celebrated briefly only to facilitate the announcement of the next set of ambitious and sometimes over-ambitious business goals.

Meetings are seriously starved of humor. Insiders that are speaking at the meeting can never have the hold over the audience as trained corporate keynote speakers can, because they are always perceived either as bosses or sub-ordinates. In case the speakers from within the organization are enjoying their speeches, well in all probability, they alone have the privilege of doing so while the rest of the audience is struggling precariously to stay awake.

Motivational humorous speakers are just that, funny speaking professionals who entertain a crowd. As performers their job is to organize what they’re going to say and then to deliver the lines to the audience in an entertaining, energetic fashion. Still they need a way to find gigs in which to perform. This is where the meeting planners become so essential to the motivational humorous speaker.

The meeting planners are the proper business types- always on the move, constantly talking on their cell phones, putting through a sale and no doubt organizing their next meeting conference. Hired by businesses it is their job to find a meeting place that fits the goals and style of the organization they are helping. From the very beginning they sit down with the company and talk about what is needed before putting the plan into action, locating the conference rooms, alongside setting up lodgings, food, beverages, telecommunications, presentation tools and the most important element of the process, hiring the right the speaker- in this case a humorous speaker.
