Hacking Your Way Into Speaking (and Humour) with James Taylor

2. Hacking Your Way Into Speaking (and Humour) with James Taylor

How do you hack your way into a successful global speaking career? What can you do to become funny on stage? What does the future of speaking look like after the pandemic?  

Welcome to The Storypowers Podcast, the show about the power of stories, the people who tell them and why you should be doing it too. I’m your host Francisco Mahfuz. 

My guest today is James Taylor. 

James started his career managing high profile rock stars, and is now an in-demand keynote speaker and internationally recognised leader in business creativity and innovation. For over 20 years he’s been advising companies like Apple, Sony, Johnson & Johnson and Toyota on how to build innovative organisations, unlock creative potential, and increase productivity. His first book 'SuperCreativity: Augmenting Human Creativity in the Age of Artificial Intelligence' comes out this year. 

If that wasn’t enough, he also hosts two podcasts, three international summits, and helps speakers launch and develop their careers. Who said that men can’t multitask? 

You can find James at jamestaylor.me for his speaking and creative work. If you would like to launch or develop your speaking career, look for him at speakersu.com.

I'm a keynote speaker on storytelling, a public speaking coach and author. You can connect with me on LinkedIn, where I post daily (or as close to that as my children will let me), and on storypowers.com. You can also check out my book "Bare: A Guide to Brutally Honest Public Speaking" on Amazon.
