It’s March 2020 and we’re deep into Corona Virus.
Which means society is self-isolating and social distancing.
For Actionworks, that means we are doubling down on our online offerings and helping our clients transition their in-person entrepreneurship and innovation activities to online.
If you teach or train, you will be delivering more webinars, Zoom sessions, and Hangouts than ever. Managing that transition can be tough. While we have gathered best practices to share to the community, one simple technique to add some life to an online session is to kick it off with some humor.
Cracking a joke at the beginning of an online session warms up the room, adds some levity, and adds likeability—all three of which increase your ability to engage your audience.
So enjoy this list of webinar-friendly jokes.
Why are these jokes webinar friendly? Well, these are “dad jokes,” i.e. silly and not offensive. And all of these jokes work best said aloud, not read silently.
I’ve said every one of these jokes before a session. Some crash and burn. Others get a laugh. But either way, they can be a powerful way of getting the room in the right state of mind.
I hope this helps everyone as we transition to a culture of more online meetings and trainings.
