Humor can diffuse difficult situations and
lighten a serious atmosphere. Participants
may become so wrapped up in their position that they forget
to listen to others or find it impossible
to negotiate or make necessary tradeoffs Laughing at some aspect of the process provides a fresh perspective. Humor also lets everyone relax enough to uncover creative solutions and form bases for agreement. You can find something comical in almost any situation. You may want to clip an apt comic strip; brainstorm a team name or mascot; or redesign popular commercials, lyrics, or TV shows to fit your process. Use humor to add a little life to the process, not to offend or tear down. If there is a chance someone will take it the wrong way, find another way of being humorous.
