We all know public speaking isn't the easiest. But how about if you're speaking and being funny? Here are a selection of some of our Inspiring Speakers Programme graduates best talks, which also have a good whack of humour in them.
Enjoy...
The Funny talks on this playlist are:
"The surprising truth of musical chairs": Helen Thomas Whiteside
A masterful display of what's possible with a simple metaphor, a spot of vulnerability and brilliant eye for the quirk - Helen's talk is one of my favourites.
“Why to bite off more than you can chew”: Mike Doidge
A turning point in Mike's fear of speaking, this talk was his announcement that he can speak with power... and be funny too! Great fun.
"Lightening the load": Jane Knight
What happens if you ask a kleptomaniac to 'travel light'? Something like this I suppose. Jane's Inspiring Speaking journey saw her not only flourish in confidence, but also unleash a penchant for being very funny. And at the same time, she manages to be hugely profound. Great talk.
This showcase of inspiring female speakers is part of Ginger's work with game changing leaders.
