About This Class

  • Top business speakers are using humor.

  • They are developing laugh lines using the same process as comedians.

  • You dont need to be a natural comedian to get laughs.



This courses teachings, as referenced in Inc, Forbes, Fast Company, Lifehacker & featured by Prezi as one of the 5 best online training courses for presenters, outlines easy to apply steps from the world of standup comedy to improve your presentation & public speaking skills, using one of the most powerful tools available to us: Laughter.



We de-construct the process from standup comedy into Habits & show you how to translate them into public speaking skills for the world of business. These Comedic Habits are aimed at helping you deliver a more memorable, entertaining & engaging presentation, every time.



Whether you are a seasoned presenter or someone with a real fear of public speaking (like me!) these easy to apply steps will help you stand out from the crowd. These techniques are being applied by numerous TED talks, start-ups, entrepreneurs, keynotes, interviewees & professional speakers to further engage their audiences & we take you through how to do the same.



Most presentations are really boring. With application of these habits yours will not be!
