Jacqueline in the author of The Non-Obvious Guide to Better Presentations: How to Present Like a Pro (Virtually or in Person)*. We all know we should practice before a big presentation, but how you practice makes a big difference on whether you just feel more prepared…or actually are. In this episode, Jacqueline and I explore how to rehearse so you perform better. Key Points A presentation is a performance. Just like any performance, how you rehearse is critical for your success. Great presenters look relaxed and natural and unrehearsed because they have practiced over and over again. Internalizing your talk is like driving home. You know the route so well, you can take any turn you want and still arrive at the same house. Use a memory palace to recall point during your presentation. This also provides and easy path to adjust timing and content when changes inevitably come. Create controlled stress for yourself during rehearsals. This surfaces where to get better and also helps you respond more effectively when actual stresses come up when presenting. Review your work objectively to decide how to improve your message. It's helpful to think about watching a recording of someone else so that you can better surface what to change.

When Cal first met the comedian, he was starting out as Irish Dave. Now, the author of Do You Talk Funny? is packing comedy clubs under his legal name, David Nihill, and identifying with Mexicans. It's a long story that will make you laugh. The bottom line is: Everybody would love to be funnier. On this episode, Dave will show you how.
Originally from Dublin Ireland, David Nihill is the founder of FunnyBizz Conference, bestselling author of Do You Talk Funny?, winner of San Francisco International Comedy Competition, runner up in the Moth's largest US Grandslam storytelling competition and the first-ever Irishman to have a special on Dry Bar Comedy. His work has been featured in Inc, The Huffington Post, Forbes, Fast Company, Lifehacker, The Irish Times, TED, The Irish Independent, Today FM, and on TV3.He and I met through friends a few years ago and I was immediately impressed not only with his barely indecipherable accent but also with how much knowledge he possessed about marketing, books and how to make them successful. This impression was only solidified when, a few days later, he sent me an email packed with all the strategies he'd used to make his book so successful that he was able to then sell it to a major publisher.In this episode, we go through all those ideas and more. If you listened to the episode, you know that I promised I would give you the email he sent out to his launch team, which you are welcome to copy and steal (he will never know, unless he's reading this, in which case I say hi David!)

The author of this book, David Nihill, was also terrified of public speaking. When he was in college, he once gave a presentation in a human resource management class. In order to be less nervous, he drank four bottles of beer before the speech. The alcohol didn't help, he jibber-jabbered in his opening speech and said: "My name is Mustafa, and I am an exchange student from Southern Yemen." In fact, Nihill was neither an exchange student nor from Yemen, and he did not understand why he said that. Nihill tells us through his practices that everyone can speak calmly and humorously in public with proper practice. Standup comedy is of great help in improving public speaking. To help more people improve their public speaking skills, Nihill summarized several methods of standup comedy performance and wrote the book Do you talk funny?

In a time where attention is the most valuable resource in the world of business, learning how to capture and hold someone’s attention becomes a priceless skill. Thankfully, we know without a shadow of a doubt after 10,000 years of history, that telling captivating, interesting, or entertaining stories is the key to winning over the human mind and heart. Yesterday, I sent out an email to my readers about my new course, Richer Every Day. Richer Every Day is a system, and a training program that teaches people how to turn the money you make today, into passive investment income that pays you forever. If you want to learn how to make $100,000 per month in passive income, Richer Every Day will show you exactly how we’re doing that. Now most emails you get about a product or service just jump straight into their pitch, and sure, there’s a time and a place for that, especially when you’re nearing a deadline, but there’s a much more effective way to sell, and that’s by using a story. So I started yesterday’s email with a story about the life of a man named Ronald, and that email ended up producing a record number of new sales. In fact, I’ll just go ahead and read that email for you here now, so you can keep it as an example… ============= “Every morning, Ronald Read would stop by the local hospital in his small town to have breakfast in the cafeteria... He sat down in the same stool at the counter, said hello to the staff, and politely ordered the usual... A cup of coffee, and an English muffin with peanut butter. He was a soft-spoken, simple man... He grew up in poverty. He graduated from high school and then served in the military during WWIIl, fighting in Africa, Italy, and the Pacific. Upon his return, he took a job at a gas station where he worked for 25 years, and then eventually became a janitor at the local JC Penney, where he worked part time for the next 17 years. Now if you were to wonder about Ron's level of financial success in life, you'd probably conclude that he simply made enough to make ends meet. After all, how could someone making a modest wage as a janitor amass any kind of meaningful wealth? Well the truth might surprise you... When Ronald died in 2014 at the age of 93, his family was shocked to discover that he had amassed a fortune of more than $8 million. Think about that for a minute... 95% of the online "experts" who are making millions in sales per year as entrepreneurs, don't have $8 million dollars of free and clear cash in their bank account, and they never will. Not because they can't... But because they won't. Why? Three reasons... The first is that they're completely unaware of the invisible neural-chemical associations which have hi-jacked their brains, and linked pleasure, satisfaction, and status, with spending money, or taking risks. Second, is because they're running subconscious programs that will prevent them from accumulating and saving the money they do make over the long term. One of the most common hidden programs entrepreneurs have is, "I'm not good enough" and in order to prove to the world they are good enough, they'll go out and buy the usual luxury status symbols like that shiny new Rolex or Lambo. Again, and again, and again, preventing them from ever accumulating anywhere near the amount of wealth they would otherwise... Which leads into the third problem... They have spent so much time focused on how to make money, they've never taken the time to make a plan for the money they do make. And when you don't have a plan for your money, it will leave you for someone else who does. Ronald Read had a plan. He followed it diligently, and he amassed an $8 million fortune while making less than $12 an hour. You don't need to make more money to start building life-long wealth. Ronald is proof of that. What you do need, is to remove the invisible behaviors and programs that are causing your wealth bucket to continuously leak. Once you do that, THEN, and only then, are you ready to start investing. We use the Richer Every Day System which literally makes you a little richer every single day, and it's designed to produce passive investment income that will replace your current income. Our goal is to hit $100,000/Mo in passive income within the next 60 months. We're already 25% of the way there in less than a year, even though I didn't have a business for the past 2.5 years. If you want me to show you how to do the same, you're ready for your financial breakthrough. If you don't... If you're coming up with reasons or excuses right now that would push you away from that kind of information or result, guess what... That's a sneak peek into the subconscious program that's holding you back. And until you discover and re-wire it, you will never achieve what you want to achieve, because your mind simply won't let you. Want to learn how to do that? Want to see our system and how it works? Just click here to watch this video now, and I'll walk you through the entire process...“ =========== So that’s it… That was the entire email, and it produced over 6 figures in sales in a day. So how do you learn how to tell simple, but effective stories like this either in your emails, your sales letters, or even your YouTube videos? Well today you’re going to learn how to do that from one of the best speakers in the world, David Nihill. David is the best-selling author of Do You Talk Funny, which is known as one of the best books on public speaking and storytelling ever written. This interview is incredible. It had me taking notes, and dying to apply what David shared in every piece of content I produce moving forward. If you want to win the war for attention, you simply need to learn how to tell a great story, and if you want to learn how to tell a great story, please help me welcome, David Nihil. And by the way, your chance to join Richer Every Day as a Founding Member which comes with a 66% discount, ends tomorrow on March 4th.

Originally from Dublin Ireland, David Nihill is the founder of FunnyBizz Conference, bestselling author of Do You Talk Funny?, winner of San Francisco International Comedy Competition, runner up in the Moth’s largest US Grandslam storytelling competition and the first-ever Irishman to have a special on Dry Bar Comedy. His work has been featured in Inc, The Huffington Post, Forbes, Fast Company, Lifehacker, The Irish Times, TED, The Irish Independent, Today FM, and on TV3. He and I met through friends a few years ago and I was immediately impressed not only with his barely indecipherable accent but also with how much knowledge he possessed about marketing, books and how to make them successful. This impression was only solidified when, a few days later, he sent me an email packed with all the strategies he'd used to make his book so successful that he was able to then sell it to a major publisher. In this episode, we go through all those ideas and more. If you listened to the episode, you know that I promised I would give you the email he sent out to his launch team, which you are welcome to copy and steal (he will never know, unless he's reading this, in which case I say hi David!)

Vicky and Joe huddle under a blanket at 7.30 am. If you listen carefully you'll even hear birds tweeting in the background. It's all very idyllic and kind of cold. In this episode, your hosts talk books – and specifically, how the deadly sin of gluttony can scupper your Big Book Adventure. It's not as tortured a metaphor as you might think, despite Joe's scepticism. Tune in for top book-writing tips and excitement about sloths. Key Takeaways: [4:45] How does gluttony relate to your book writing efforts? [5:15] Too much talking and not enough doing! [8:25] How much do you actually want to write a book? Is it just a fantasy or is it a goal of yours?[9:25] Too much research and not enough action. [12:30] Don’t let research be the reason why you haven’t gotten your first draft down. [13:45] You’re too bloated in your message. [14:45] People sometimes feel that in order for it to be a real book, it needs to be thick. It doesn’t! [16:40] The key is to know when to stop! That’s easier said than done. [18:55] Always wanted to write a book? Look for Vicky’s waiting list invite. Mentioned in This Episode: Website Vicky on Medium Order Vicky’s new book!

La maggior parte dei libri su comunicazione e public speaking ci dicono che l'umorismo è importante per una presentazione di successo. Però, nessun libro ci dice effettivamente come possiamo inserire un po' di umorismo nelle nostre presentazioni. Nessun libro ci spiega quali sono le tecniche usate dai comici e come possiamo applicarle in un contesto business. "Do You Talk Funny?" di David Nihill fa proprio questo.

This is a skill which can be studied, worked on, and improved upon.

Public speaking can be a really daunting prospect for many of us. The fear that we’ll humiliate ourselves in front of a live audience is enough to make anyone sweat buckets before a live event! But if you can just make them laugh, you’ll immediately ease the tension in the room and boost your own self-confidence so that you can give a world-class talk without choking on stage. On this podcast episode, I speak with David Nihill about how to be funnier in your public speaking, presentations, live broadcasts, YouTube videos and even on your podcast! David is an author, producer, entrepreneur and funny man from Dublin, Ireland. He is the best-selling author of “Do You Talk Funny?” and the founder of the FunnyBizz Conference. Essential Learning Points From This Episode: The value of humor is that it can be used to grab and hold people’s attention You may not be able to overcome your fear of public speaking, but you can learn how to manage it Create a “happy journal” and fill it with funny content ideas that you can look back on Inject short personal stories into your presentation and follow up it with, “I told you that story because…” to really grab people’s attention Always try and put the punchline of your story at the very end of the sentence to facilitate time for laughter If you’re worried that a joke will fall flat, avoid telling jokes and tell a funny story instead Acknowledging a fail is the easiest way to overcome awkwardness and make the audience laugh Focus on content over delivery until you get paid to speak Link the start of your speech to the end and try to leave them with three key learning elements If you’re showing slides and images during your presentation, you need to set it up and use it alongside (or instead of) your punchline Much, much more!

Le llevé del hotel al aeropuerto y pasamos un buen rato hablando de humor, libros frikis y sobre el proceso de escribir. En este extra ball, entrevisto a David Nihill y hablamos sobre el humor en las presentaciones y sobre el proceso de escribir y publicar un libro. Estos son algunos temas que tratamos en la entrevista (está en inglés): No intentes hacerte el gracioso. Cómo los momentos humillantes del pasado pueden acabar siendo provechosos. Cómo encontrar material para crear humor. ¿Puede el humor desarrollarse? ¿Qué beneficios tiene grabarse las presentaciones? Cómo usar métricas para mejorar nuestro humor La técnica "Bookend" para cerrar una presentación de forma completa. Por qué es recomendable grabar primero la versión audio de un libro antes de publicarlo. Cómo lograr que una editorial tradicional publique el libro de un autor novel. ¿Cuáles son las dos mejores cosas para invertir dinero al escribir un libro para publicar?

Guest: David Nihill, founder of Funny Biz, and author of Do You Talk Funny. Being funny is not just a natural talent you are born with. It is also a skill you can learn. And it’s a skill that can be invaluable in building your personal brand. My guest today is David Nihill, founder of FunnyBiz – a company that specializes in helping people be funnier in print and in front of an audience. Among other things we will talk about how doing improv comedy can make anyone a better public speaker, how to use humor to connect with your audience, and the tips and tricks you can borrow from professional comedians – to get a laugh
This week, our in-depth conversation features David Nihill. Born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, David, like so man of us, had a deep fear of public speaking. But, he found himself having to face this head on, when he reluctantly agreed to host a benefit comedy show he had suggested for a friend, Arash Bayatmakou, who had suffered a severe spinal cord injury (Comedy for a Spinal Cause). He quickly realized the best speakers were also often the funniest. Not because of the one-liners they threw into the audience, but because they knew how to tell a story in a way that made people laugh.In at attempt to learn the craft and also face his crippling fear of public speaking, he spent a year traveling the country pretending to be an accomplished comedian and talking his way onto as many comedy show stages and festivals as possible. Along the way, he not only overcame his fear of speaking, he began to deconstruct the best story-driven comedy and figured out a methodology he could not only bring to the stage himself, but also teach pretty much anyone. Even people who consider themselves to have nearly zero ability to tell stories or be funny.The shared this approach in a book, k, Do You Talk Funny?, then launched a community, writers platform, and conference series under called FunnyBizz Conference: Where Business Meets Humor, with the intention of helping everyone from speakers and executives to content creators tap the power of storytelling, comedy and improv to engage readers and audiences on a whole new level.David realized he had learned something in the process that could be valuable to other businesspeople — most people, with the right techniques, could learn to be funny, (at least on stage) and learning how to structure a comedy routine involves the exact same skills as making a successful presentation.

Adam talks to David about funny public speaking, it's do's and dont's and telling a funny story.
Today’s show is layered with a small dose of funny. My guest is David Nihill, the author of Do You Talk Funny? 7 Comedy Habits to Become a Better (and Funnier) Public Speaker. When I originally asked David to be on the show he replied saying he didn’t have any business failures to share, but thanks. I didn’t agree with that because he took on comedy to overcome his fear of public speaking. He couldn’t stand in front of a room and talk. That’s a problem many people, possibly you, face. So I hit him over the head and dragged him into the cave to share his story. What he teaches will help entrepreneurs, CEOs, managers, sales people, coaching calls, and more. Humor makes everything easier. And David makes humor easy. Here’s what David and I discuss: Why David’s friends called him “Shakin Stevens.” How he fell apart the first time speaking. How fear of public speaking can hold you back at work and other areas of your life. Why David still hates being on camera, and what he’s given up because of this fear. Why he chose stand-up comedy, of all things, to face his public speaking fear. Why he said comedians are the true masters of public speaking. What you can learn from comedians to present better and make more sales. Why stories drive the best comedy, and the best business presentations. How David uses stories with traditional comedy techniques to build his routine. What he took from comedy to apply in business. What you can do to hone the funny parts in your presentations so you don’t have to master the stand-up comedy circuit. Why comedians always watch what they did to get feedback and improve. Why “winging it” is the worst thing you can do when presenting. The two parts of your presentation that you must completely control to be a true master. What “calling the room” means and how you can use it for maximum impact in your presentations. The structure of a joke, and how to use it in your presentations and stories. Why you’re being judged from the first minute of your presentation, and how to start strong. Why he feels slightly guilty for Donald Trump becoming who he is today, because of David’s mother. How to create a “memory palace” to help you remember your stories. The one thing most people can do to feel relaxed and calm before any presentation. Why David hates most public speaking books. How David tested his ideas before writing his book to see if there was a market for it. How comedy improves your ability to write stories. Why practice is so critical. Why he started comedy under the anonymous name of “Irish Dave.” What David does that helps him tweak his creative efforts. Enjoy the show. David Nihill’s Fear Of Public Speaking Lead Him To Discover Comedy Insights You Can Use To Captivate Your Audience
David Nihill like many people, was terrified of public speaking. But unlike most people, to conquer his fear of speaking in front of groups, David spent a year studying and performing stand-up. After performing at The Improv, The Comedy Store, & Cobb's he realized that anyone can be funny when giving a talk. Yes, that means even you, or someone that thinks they aren't funny. He also learned that even people who hated public speaking like himself, could also become a great public speaker while being funny. David has created a 7 step framework to help normal people become better and funnier public speakers. His books is called: Do You Talk Funny?: 7 Comedy Habits to Become a Better (and Funnier) Public Speaker. David studied Stand-up comedians, the group of people who are the best public speakers in the world. And what he learned is that we all can be funny giving a public speech, even people who are deftly afraid of crowds. I'm a former stand-up comedian and I know how terrified I was performing in front of crowds. But to this day, I give better presentations to bosses, work crowds better during talks and I give funnier speeches based on my stand-up comedy practice. I'm not recommending you go sign-up for open mic comedy nights to get funnier and more comfortable in front of crowds. Instead, I recommend listening to this episode and reading Davd's book.

Most would argue trust, but David Nihill is certain it's humor. I think I agree with David. He is the master of causing a ruckus among the crowd after a show, allowing them to feel as one with his message ultimately channeled through hilarity and the assassination of ‘boring.' Oh yea, he's fundamentally teaching others how to do the same thing. If you want to take your audience to another level, David is your new Daddy. He might not change your diaper, but he sure will spank you into success if you need it. He's a comedian and a public speaker geared to helping others transition from the struggle of feeling terrified in front of an audience to walking around with massive fists pumping in extreme satisfaction, just as he did. Like most of us, he found his corporate job so terribly boring that he was falling asleep without even having a reason to feel tired. Enough was enough, and he established Funny Bizz to help others like him create the life they love, full of laughter and excitement. He's traveling around the world, running his conference, writing books and dominating so much it's funny. See what I did there? Awesome episode.

To defeat Godzilla with his talents... “I'd default to my stereotypical advantages and bring him to an Irish back, feed him way too much Guinness and wait until he falls asleep drunk.” Advice... We are hardwired to remember story. If you give me a number of facts in any way, it is not as memorable when you present those facts and bundle them as a story. Brevity is levity. Get to the point quicker. Make your story relatable so you can find your own voice quicker. Just get started. Whether it's your own blog or something, you just need to get some content out there. If you have self-confidence issues, do it under a fake name. When you find something that you are passionate about, there's no more getting burned out, you just love doing it. The line that separates work and passion blurs into one that you just get excited about with what you are working on and get lost in it.

David Nihill is a world traveller as well as the teacher of how to do better public speaking though his course on Udemy with over 4000 learners. Also, he is the founder of FunnyBiz conferences which tries to teach people how to give more effective conference presentations. He learned this after having thrust upon him the hosting position of a charity drive to help out his friend. As a horrible public speaker, he knew he had to learn this quickly. He applied the 80/20 principle and improved his improv comedy and standup comedy skills. Through this he learned what was important in making a good presentation. We talk about his experience with making good presentations along with all the experiences that got him there. As a world traveller who has been to numerous countries and speaks numerous languages, this gave him an advantage in being able to find what was necessary. Finally we talk about his low risk method to write and publish his book without it being a flop.
David Nihill is the founder of FunnyBizz.co, an entrepreneur who has been featured in Inc., Forbes, and Fast Company among others, and author of Do You Talk Funny? 7 Comedy Habits to Become a Better and Funnier Public Speaker. Prior to writing Do You Talk Funny?, David had been deathly afraid of public speaking. His solution? Spend one year as a standup comic - a sort of "jump in the deep end of the pool to learn to swim" approach. What grew out of this experience was not only great advice on how to overcome the fear of speaking but how to actually master the art. What David and I talk about in today's broadcast: David's background leading up to comedy Why David chose standup comedy to overcome his fear of public speaking (versus, say, Toastmasters) What inspired David to apply comedy to business How David developed his initial idea into an ecourse on Udemy (and his process for turning that course into a bestselling book) The launch of his bestselling book, Do You Talk Funny?

Toby Jenkins chats to David Nihill about the importance of humour in business presentations and the 5 specific steps to make your speaking much funnier.
Humor connects you and your audience. "There's nobody more judged than a stand-up comedian."-Jerry Seinfeld The Cheat Sheet: How to have people talking about your speech after it ends, in a good way. 22 hours of work go into 1 minute of a 60-minute stand up comedy set: true or false? Are keynotes dead? The rule of 3 ('tree'): what is it and how to use it. What is rehearsed spontaneity? And so much more... Have you ever been in the audience for a speech so boring everyone around you stopped listening and starting doing other things? Is it your worst fear that someday YOU will be speaking and will be that dull? David Nihill is here to help us all be better public speakers through comedy. David is a comedian and public speaker who was once terrified of being in front of an audience! Hear how he went from a terrified public speaker to a stand up comedian killing it on stage, and all the applicable comedy habits he learned along the way. Join us for all of that and more on episode 341 of The Art of Charm. More About This Show: For many of us public speaking is our top fear, even greater than our fear dying. As the joke goes "We'd rather be IN the casket than giving the eulogy at a funeral." But if you're wanting to face that, or are in a position where you must face that fear, today's chat with David Nihill will give you some tools you can use to overcome your fear and give a great presentation. Not long ago David was rubbish at public speaking, he dropped far too many F bombs and was generally a nervous, sweaty mess. When one of his friends suffered a severe spinal cord injury David wanted to help raise funds. He suggested organizing a comedy show with top comedians as a fundraiser and the idea took off. The only glitch? David's friend insisted he give the opening speech, and David was petrified. Instead of backing down from the challenge, David emulated one of his mentors Tim Ferriss and rose to the occasion. He took a very Tim-like approach to the subjects of comedy and public speaking. He wanted to break down the best speeches and comedic routines to figure out how he could follow in their footsteps. Were there common processes for both? Did the two overlap and if they did, how could he fuse them together to make his opening speech funny and well-received at his friend's fundraiser? David went through a laborious and intensive study, and it paid off. His opening for the fundraiser was well-received, so much so that he was invited to open for a group of comedians at The Punch Line in San Francisco. And that opened a new door for him. Today he has performed comedy routines at some of the top comedy clubs in California, he held the first Funny Bizz conference in 2014 and has just published his first book 7 Comedy Habits to Be a Funnier Speaker. On today's show David explains a few of the many lessons he's learned about public speaking and comedy. The first topic we touch on is how to use humor in your presentations and speeches. Humor is the easiest way for others to relate to you, so use it early on in your speech to connect with your audience. If you're coming to their town learn something about the city you're in and use it humorously to show your audience you care about where they live and what their lives are like there. Humor also makes your speech or presentation memorable;it accomplishes this by breaking down barriers between you and them. If you can break down those barriers and make people laugh, they will remember you and will be talking about you long after you've finished speaking. All of that is well and good but how do you make people laugh? Is there a formula or a process we can take from comedy and apply to public speaking? There are several and we go into each of them on this episode; the one we'll discuss here is evaluating your performance. The best public speakers and the best comedians all evaluate themselves. Yes it's awkward, uncomfortable and unpleasant, but it is how anyone improves anything they do (especially public speaking and stand up comedy). So record yourself and dissect what you do, how you do it. Look at what worked, what didn't work, trim out everything you can and hone in on the good stuff. Get a coach to help you if you can. David dishes out other ways we can make our speeches and presentations funny and memorable including using the art of the callback and the rule of 3. So tune in to hear all of that and more, then join me in thanking him for the laughs and the learning. He was an awesome guest and you're awesome for listening. Thanks and we'll see you next time!
