Platform speeches and keynote addresses are another way of greatly impacting employee production and morale. Regularly scheduled, or “feature” meetings, such as quarterly or yearly, can be effectively used to teach, inform, thank, or motivate their attendees though the power of the platform. This is accomplished by taking advantage of the collective energy of the group, and an atmosphere for learning allowing the message to pass through normal ego defenses to reach people at the core level so that the lesson of the message can be absorbed.
The delicate balance between humor and content is the secret of success in this endeavor. It has always been agreed that laughter is good for morale, and it can be used as a conduit for a variety of messages.

It’s the ultimate win-win scenario.
