Interested in improving your presentation skills?
If so, consider attending the "Tips from the Pros" Workshop from the Austin Speakers Network on Tuesday, Oct. 5. At this workshop, I'll be sharing presentation wisdom I've learned by studying comedians and dabbling in improv comedy.
Here's a short video preview...
WORKSHOP INFO:
PRESENTATION WISDOM: Insights from Comics & Improvisers
Tuesday, October 5th
Austin, TX - Norris Conference Center
** REGISTRATION INFO **
SESSION DESCRIPTION:
Newbie presenters and polished presenters have a lot to learn from comics and improvisers.
Presenters, like comics, must share a unique point-of-view. Presenters must also share their unique point-of-view in a smart way, just as comedians and improvisers must do. Good presenters and good comedians utilize the power of timing and pauses in their delivery. The very best presenters, comedians, and improvisers go the extra mile by managing to give the illusion of their on-stage performance being a dialogue and not a monologue. In this workshop, you'll learn these presentation techniques and more.
Here's another reason to attend... Andy Crouch, Austin-based improv teacher/performer, will lead attendees through improv games sure to improve your next presentation.
Expect to learn, laugh, and lunch with local professional speakers and anyone else aspiring to deliver better presentations. See ya there.
Sounds like a do not want to miss. Will there be anyway to get this streaming?

Pablo ... no streaming but you're more than welcome to attend live and in-person.

That sounded fun. There's more than a casual link between good comic timing and a presenter's sense of timing. There's much that presenters can learn from the art of the comic.
