Set The Tone (ft. Scott Bloom)

A comic-turned-keynote speaker on turning laughs into impact

OPENING QUOTE:

“So obviously, you know, a little bit of a parody there making fun of our psychic friends. And what's great about that piece is it's interactive, it gets connected with the audience, and it's just a way to sort of show that you can make fun of, you know, of anything and it's something they can, you know, definitely relate to.”

-Scott Bloom

CORE TOPICS + DETAILS:

[11:06] - The Role of Humor in Speaking

More than entertainment

Humor doesn’t just make people laugh. It opens them up, gets them engaged. It brings the energy of the room to a positive place and creates resonance between the speaker and the audience. Laughter is a manifestation of emotion, and relationships are built on emotional connection.

[17:35] - Speakers & Hosts

What they can learn from each other

Speakers can learn from hosts that you should always be in the moment, dealing with changes as they come. You have to present but also entertain. Hosts can learn from speakers that you should always have a clear focus, vision, and message that you want to talk about— even if you’re open to shifting from that initial game plan.

[22:50] - The Best & The Rest

What sets apart great presenters

The best presenters, speakers, and hosts are able to shift the tone of a room by their presence and message alone. When an audience feels they’ve seen it all before, a great speaker can shock energy into the entire room and get people listening, learning, and laughing. In Scott’s words, the best are capable of doing what’s necessary to “bring them where you want to be.”

[28:11] - Make Keynotes Funny Again

Comedy tips for speakers from a true pro

For anyone looking to deliver keynotes that are engaging, effective, and funny, Scott’s advice is to know your audience and recognize that what works in the club won’t work in a corporate environment (the reverse is also true). He also embraces the role of repetition— the antidote to nerves and anxiety is preparation, knowing your material backwards and forwards. Ironically, it’s this knowledge of your game plan that lets you comfortably veer away from that game plan when the situation allows.
