A speaker opens a live presentation to 400 people with a goal to boost confidence, improve communication, and help people form meaningful connections. She introduces a playful metric: tracking audience laughter to hit at least five genuine laughs as a measure of engagement.
You ready? You ready? You gonna laugh at my jokes? Yeah?
I don't understand. You don't understand my jokes?
Okay, we're gonna help people today. We have 400 people we gotta help. We're gonna help them feel more confident. We're gonna help them communicate better. We're gonna help them learn how to meet their best friends and their soulmates and just feel really good. That's what we're gonna do. I'm gonna try to get people to laugh 5 times. Will you count the number of times people laugh? My goal is to have 5 laughs. If I have more than 5 laughs, then be like, "Yes, you got more!" If I have less, not good.
If someone had— if someone laughs 5 times—
I want the whole audience to laugh 5 times. That's always my goal, at least. So like, if I'm like, "Haha, joke," and the audience is like, "Hahaha," that counts as a joke. So I want you to count how many times the audience laughs.
But what if they do it like at a different thing?
Great. The more laughs, the better. If I can get 10 laughs, that would be amazing. Uh, any drawer, I think.
