Description

Ask people in the group to be very serious and also when you say this be serious. Then tell them a joke. See if they can keep a straight face. It’s hard to think that you are not going to laugh. It’s unavoidable not to, especially because someone says to you to not smile and try to be serious. Chances are that within 5 minutes everyone will be laughing.

That’s a good way to start with a meeting, any kind of a meeting and it’s more effective for the group to start a session with laughing because this will make people in the group relax and create positive energy in the room.
