How improv can make you a better speaker
I had a fun chat with John Cremer recently – you’ve probably never heard two so-called professional speakers talk over each other so much, nor say ‘um’ so often. See the out-takes at 22:30 to enjoy those moments. There’s also a gratuitous image of a drone at 17:50 (which will make sense when you watch the video).
We also discussed:
- Who is the genius in the room when you’re presenting
- What’s wrong with the traditional education system
- Why you should attribute the source of any activities you use
- The problem with presenter anxiety
- Why you have to spell things out for your audience
- Three simple improv activities with untold benefits for participants:
- Word-at-a-time storytelling
- Yes and / Yes but
- Walk and point
