Hey, it's our latest book! We've got to recommend it don't we? Humour (or Humor) is an important teaching tool. It helps overcome resistance, reduces fear and makes a point without turning off the audience. But most of us aren't stand up comedians. We can't use humour as effectively as we might. That's where limericks and cartoons come in. And that's why we (Paul & Glen) have written 101 limericks about Public Speaking. We combined our limericks with artwork by Aputik to create a humourous look at public speaking. Whether you're looking for that perfect visual for your own seminar or just looking for a laugh this book is perfect for anyone in the public speaking field.
