Objectives:
  • Prepare a speech that opens with a humorous story
  • Personalise the story
  • Deliver the story smoothly and effectively

A pass :-)
Less humour needed to meet objectives.
Humor connected but speech felt more like being built around the humour.
More humour than speech content. Not necessary for first speech.
Humour used worked, audience laughed.
