“I suck at public speaking.”

“I’m nervous.” “I’m not a good storyteller.” “I fell asleep during my own webinar.” (yep, someone told me that)
Can I let you in on something?
After 30+ years of stand-up comedy, corporate keynoting and training, I still have anxieties that sometimes sneak up on me. For example:
What if I forget part of my presentation?
What if that joke doesn’t work?
What if a mouse crawls up my pant leg and I start doing The Macarena?
The difference now is my anxiety is manageable, my stage presence better, and my audience engagement is through the roof. It can be the same for you.
When it comes to public speaking, I’ve heard it all.
Nervous, afraid, and sweating buckets.
Yep. That was me. Public speaking mastery was certainly not on my bucket list, so I decided to try stand-up comedy (brilliant move, right?).
I progressed from my first 3-minute (and very sweaty) set to eventually headlining at comedy clubs, winning competitions, and performing with Jay Leno, Bill Cosby and Martin Short. During this journey, I thought, “Why not combine my stand-up comedy skills into my ‘real job’ corporate presenting and training world?”
And Voila! Fewer nerves, less fear, and thankfully, no more buckets of sweat in ANY public speaking setting (you wouldn’t believe how much money I’ve saved on my laundry bill).
I quickly realized I was onto something: People far and wide crave to be more comfortable, confident, and yes, funny when delivering any kind of speech or presentation. And these people would love some help.
