(Geneva IL)  Ronald P. Culberson, MSW, CSP will be the presenter at the Jan. 21, 2011 Fabulous Friday meeting of the National Speakers Association-Illinois Chapter (NSA-IL) to be held from 10 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Ron believes humor is both an “art” and a science.”  He will show you how the understanding of both elements is crucial to developing an expertise in humor.  If you attend this session, you will learn the different types of humor to add to your presentations, be able to find humor in your immediate environment, see examples of how to make serious material funny, and learn techniques for effectively delivering humor in a presentation.

Since 1996, Ron has been the Director of Everything! at FUNsulting.  He has successfully turned a social disability of talking too much into a lucrative career as a professional speaker.

NSA-IL is the local chapter of the National Speakers Association, the leading professional organization of experts in a variety of industries and disciplines who speak for audiences as trainers, educators, humorists, motivators, consultants and authors.  For more information about NSA-IL, contact Sue Black at 630-208-0776 or sueblack@nsa-il.org.
