Session Description:
In this day and age, youth and adults both have a really short attention span -- so short that most of you probably stopped reading this description already. So how do we communicate across the diverse ranges of ages, stages, and levels of patience. Thankfully, there is an answer -- and it's where you'd least expect it: Humor.
Learning Outcomes:
Outcome 1: Learn how to use humor as a tool for effective communication with various groups of people (children, adults, coworkers, etc).
Outcome 2: Practice creating mnemonic devices that use the "Funny Factor"TM to increase understanding.
Outcome 3: Understand the role of culture, intersectionality, and a person's individual circumstances in humor and its effect.
Outcome 4: Understand the limits of when humor is useful, and when it is not.
