“Hi, thanks for being here today. What do you do?”

“I’m in records.”

“What is the most exciting or surprising part of your job?”

Now, again, this is where you cannot lose, because any answer they give you will be good. They will say something heartwarming like, “I work with people I love.” Or maybe they’ll say something funny like, “I get to steal all the Post-it notes I need.” Either way, you get further connection—and the chance for easy humor.

And nearly always you can find a way to transition from this interview to your third point in your presentation. It might be something like, “Well, the fact that this person loves her workmates is going to make my next point easy for her. My next point is . . .blah, blah, blah.” (Note: please insert your “next point” for the “blah, blah, blah.” If you don’t, your audience will think you’ve lost it.) It might sound scary, but the interview technique is easier than it seems, and the rewards are huge. Pick some transitions, go with some prepared questions, and you’ll be surprised by how much closer your audience feels to you and how many laughs you get without writing a single punch line.
