You can feel it in the pit of your stomach, every day when you arrive at the office. You feel shy, awkward and uncomfortable. You just need to know what to say to break the tension and increase your confidence.
One of the best ways to get a room full of people to love you is to make them laugh, smile and giggle.
Laughter is the shortest distance between two people. - Victor Borge
Confidence and Wit, by a professional stand-up comic, will give you a banter script of funny back-and-forth quips that you can use to break the ice and inflate your self-confidence.
Think of it as training wheels for your self-confidence. And don’t worry, by the end of the book, you will be riding the bicycle of self-confidence by yourself and, just like riding a bike, you can never forget it after that.
Confidence and Wit: Instant confidence through humour can help even the shiest person to feel comfortable in every situation. Once people are giggling and smiling, their guard will be down and you can see their amazement that “the timid mouse” in the office is actually a witty and likeable charmer. Even the sternest person looks less foreboding when they are smiling from the heart.
Have the confidence to make your peers smile, as you build your confidence to be yourself. Learn and memorize a few lines and you will be ready to start. As your self-confidence builds, you can return to Confidence and Wit to find even more ways to strengthen your banter and display your natural charm.
This book will tutor you how to make others see you as quick-witted and engaged. This book will change your life as you giggle your way through every page.
Bantering is using quips and comments that are teasing, in a good natured way. There is no venom or cruelty in bantering.
Being a banter expert isn’t necessarily about being quick-witted; it’s about planning. A banter master memorises certain quips and jokes, then pulls them out when the right occasion arises. And they arise every day.
“Banter is simply a memorised list of lightning-fast quips for common situations.” That was said by a professional stand-up comedian. He should know; his livelihood depends on his ability to banter with an entire audience.
Have a few spontaneous responses ready and you will always look smart and quick-witted.
This little book is full of quips and jabs, harmless cracks that will make those around smile and giggle.
You won’t be a Jimmy Carr after reading this, but you will be the person that everyone thinks of as funny at parties, at work and even when you’re just hanging out.
The quips in this book are short and pointed. You don’t need to hone your comedic timing to use them. All you need to do is memorise two or three of them, and shoot them out at the right moment.
This is the book that will SHOW YOU teach, without any effort, to be the life of the party and centre of workplace fun.
