If you struggle to incorporate humor effectively into your presentations, you could be facing serious challenges that could hinder your growth and impact as a speaker.

Audience Disengagement

Without effective humor, you risk losing your audience’s interest and connection. A disengaged audience quickly tunes out, leading to a less impactful presentation and missed opportunities to convey your message.

Missed Opportunities

In the competitive world of public speaking, engaging your audience can make or break your career. Without the ability to make your audience laugh, you may miss out on key speaking engagements, endorsements, and other opportunities that could advance your career.

Reduced Impact

Humor is a powerful tool for reinforcing your message and making it memorable. Struggling with humor can result in a decreased ability to effectively convey key messages, making your presentations less impactful and diminishing their overall effectiveness.

Get Laughs, Get Attention, Get Results

With personalized coaching and proven processes and techniques, you’ll deliver speeches that not only inform but also entertain, leaving a lasting impact on your audience.

Stronger Audience Connection

Humor helps to break down barriers and build rapport with your audience. When your audience feels connected to you, they’re more likely to be influenced by your message, leading to greater impact and success in your speaking engagements.

More Opportunities and Bookings

As your speaking skills improve, so will your opportunities. Mastering humor can set you apart from other speakers, making you more in demand for high-profile events, leading to more invitations, higher fees, and greater recognition in your field.

Personal Satisfaction and Enjoyment

There’s a unique satisfaction in hearing your audience laugh and seeing them enjoy your presentation. Mastering humor will not only enhance your professional success but also increase your personal enjoyment of speaking, making each presentation a rewarding experience.

Hi, I’m Rick. People consider me to be a naturally funny guy.

Everyone told me I should be doing standup comedy but when I finally gave it a shot ... no one was laughing.

I read books, attended workshops, bought online courses ... I just couldn't figure out how to bring my naturally funny self to the stage... I nearly quit.

But I finally found my mentor and he was able to explain to me the fundamental reasons people laugh and the structures I could use to be successful on stage as a standup comic.

When I wanted to transition to corporate speaking I encountered similar frustrations. I encountered vague and general advice like "don't tell jokes, tell stories."

I deeply understand how frustrating it can be to struggle with humor in your presentations. I’ve been there myself, and I’m here to help you overcome those challenges.

That Struggle Lead Me To Write THE Book...

Rick Olson is AMAZING! I asked him to help me add some humor to a speech I needed to present. I gave him some bullet points. He worked with me and my idea and helped make the speech sound so funny!

I delivered it and everyone in the audience loved it, they could not stop laughing. Great success!
