#126: How To Infuse Humor Formula That Makes Your Speech To Go Viral With Katie Munoz

Katie Munoz is known as a funny person now, but she wasn’t born that way. She was born quiet, serious, and clumsy, leaving her in constant embarrassment.

As a young adult, she finally figured out how to use humor as self-defense (i.e. if you laugh at yourself first, nobody else can laugh at you.) She is living proof that humor can be learned, even by a naturally serious person, with no personality transplant required.

In Toastmasters, she expanded her speaking skills and entered her first humorous speech contest in 1996, with a speech titled “Out of the Closet,” where she came out of the closet as a math nerd. That speech carried her to the regional competition in Eugene, Oregon. People have been gifting her with slide rules ever since.

The next year, she began teaching “The How of Humor” workshops at conferences and conventions to help fellow quiet, serious people master public speaking skills. Her students become confident, knowing their talks will be entertaining. She offers speech writing, online classes, and coaching in her company, Serious to Hilarious.
