Experience over the years helping countless wedding speakers (not to mention execs in the working world) tells me that the answer is emphatically the latter.
A while back, I interviewed stand-up comedian, Laura Lexx, for a book I was writing for #brides wanting to give a speech. Laura seriously knows her stuff - she's done "Live At The Apollo" and yes, gave a highly entertaining speech at her own wedding!
Laura's advice is gold:
"Invite some friends over...crack open some drinks and introduce into conversation some topics you might want to include in your speech [or communications].
"You'll find that people naturally introduce humour into that kind of relaxed situation - we like to make each other laugh. The trick is to notice what gets people giggling. You can then use those as start points for developing #humour for your speech. The more personal your humour, the better."
There's humour all around us, every day. The question is: do we notice it? Do we then do something with it?
I remember an insight gained from a stand-up comedy course I took 10+ years ago:
"The difference between an average comedian and an oustanding comedian is a notebook and a pen."
So, if you want to introduce more humour, get noticing!
