Presentation Thinking™ #143. TED Talkin’: DK gives the public speaking lesson you never had
DK is a creative director and presentation coach and is on the TED stage to give us the lesson in public speaking that none of us ever received.
We love a simple framework and accessible advice to enhance presentation skills and DK really delivers. Sharing his journey growing up with speech impediment to becoming a speaker coach builds a brilliant rapport with the audience as he leads up to his “jedi mind trick” that can help anyone transform their nerves into confidence onstage.
DK also moves (literally) through common body language pitfalls that we should avoid and offers up his own “soft rockstar pose” to help plant a firm foundation for your body in any presentation capacity.
This is an episode for: anyone that has to public speak, beginner keynoters and people that like studying body language.
