David Nihill: Hacking Public Speaking | Web Summit
165David Nihill knows too well how terrifying public speaking can be! The Irish-born best-selling author of “Do You Talk Funny?” went from being deathly afraid of standing in front of an audience, to founding FunnyBizz Conference, winning the 43rd annual San Francisco International Comedy Competition and finishing runner-up in NPR's "The Moth" US story telling competition. And he did it by learning from some of the best public speakers in the world: stand-up comedians.
In this talk, David shares how the key principles of stand-up comedy can be applied to your speaking engagements and presentations to make you funnier, more interesting, and better looking. (Or at least two of the three.)
