Speaking to Engage: The only workshop on public speaking you'll ever need to take!

Let’s just be real for a minute: most public speakers are boring. And aside from making your day a little less fun, dull presentations are bad for business.

Audiences have become conditioned to receiving information with a dose of entertainment, and that makes humor a critical tool for any professional communicator.

We want our data with a punchline these days– witness the success of The Daily Show or the stickiness of many of President Obama’s speeches for example. Every one of the current top ten TED talks are funny.

It’s not just about getting some laughs to make yourself feel good; it’s about using humor to grab and hold your audience’s interest, making your message stickier and ultimately more persuasive. In a world full of bland, dull speakers, if you stand out, you win!

David joins you to share the principles, techniques and tools of the world’s best TED speakers in a humorous talk /workshop based on his bestselling book Do You Talk Funny? 7 Comedy Habits to Become a Better (And Funnier) Public Speaker.

In this highly energetic, engaging and funny talk or workshop, audiences will learn:

  • How to craft a story and content that your audience will want to listen to.
  • How and when to include the best parts of your presentation for greatest impact.
  • How to deal with stage fright and flop sweat.
  • How to avoid going blank on stage.
  • How to master the two most important parts of your performance: timing and delivery.
  • Tons of never heard before actionable tips to apply immediately in your next public speaking engagement.

Whether you’re crafting a story for your business or your own personal endeavors you’ll leave this class with the tools you need to connect and engage your audience through funny story.
