**Ever feel like your meetings are just… a drag?**
Hey! Imagine if every meeting you attended was so engaging that people actually looked forward to them. Sounds like a dream, right?
**Here’s a game-changer**: Using *humor* in your storytelling can make your meetings more lively and memorable. Neuroscience shows that humor activates the brain’s reward system, making people more attentive and open to new ideas.
**Try this storytelling hack**: Next time you lead a meeting, start with a light-hearted story or a funny anecdote related to the topic. For example, instead of diving straight into sales numbers, you could say, “Yesterday, I tried explaining our sales strategy to my dog. Let’s just say, he wasn’t impressed. But I think you’ll find it much more interesting!” This not only breaks the ice but also sets a positive tone for the discussion.
**Your action step**: Think about your next meeting. Prepare a humorous story or anecdote to kick things off. Notice how this changes the atmosphere and engagement levels.
