David Nihill is a force to be reckoned with. He’s taught some of the top TEDx speakers how to refine their talks, and students from universities like Oxford and Stanford how to easily hone their communication skills (plus, he’s really funny too!) He has distilled many of his storytelling principles into simple, easy-to-learn golden nuggets you can instantly use to boost your own speeches & presentations. So buckle up! We’re in for a good one. You’ll discover: Fear of speaking in public? Here’s the shocking incident that forced David to conquer his fear of public speaking (not only was he not ready… but he got thrown to the main-stage with no prior experience at all!) (23:15) Three storytelling laws to live by in order to completely mesmerize ANY crowd you're speaking to (Fortune 500 companies and proclaimed TEDx speakers vouch for these principles… ready to 10x your storytelling skills? Here’s how.) PLUS --- a short and sweet ‘5 point’ editing trick to instantly cut out the fluff and boost the hitting power of your storytelling narrative (37:51) Why you should NEVER tell jokes in your public speeches & presentations (do THIS instead) (46:51) See more of David’s work at: https://davidnihill.com/
