Why your presentation's end matters most! Why is it essential to end a presentation on a high note? It's because people remember the emotional peak and end of an experience. This is known as The Peak-End Rule by Daniel Kahneman. For example, recalling the most thrilling ride and the last ride at an amusement park. Focus on making your end memorable by highlighting your most significant points and key takeaways. Or end with something memorable that leaves the audience smiling or laughing. This is similar to stand-up comedy, where the best joke is saved for last. How do you ensure your presentations end on a high note?

This is the model used by sit-com writers to know where to write jokes. Not just these, but also their relationship to each other, like put a character is an impossible situation, then write the funny line or bits that come from it. This can also be used for stand-up comedy storytelling. https://lnkd.in/gFFm-SwV

Three public speaking skills I learned from stand-up comedy: 1. Tell your true stories. 2. Timing is magical, especially a well-placed pause. 3. 🎤 Practice practice practice. The more you speak through your material, the quicker you can refine it and determine what resonates with others, which is KEY. Connection is what draws in your audience and keeps them hanging on your every word. Oh, and speaking of comedy I’ll be headlining at the Knitting Factory in Boise for our 3rd annual Love on the Rocks Valentine’s Comedy Show! #leadershipspeaker #presentationtips #speakerseries #keynotespeakers #improv #leadershipcommunication #speechcoach #storytelling #publicspeakers #speakercoaching

Here's a snippet from a recent stand-up comedy set I did! 🎤 Tackling a stand-up routine pushes me out of my comfort zone and sharpens skills that are just as vital offstage—like engaging an audience and thinking quickly under pressure. These moments remind me how valuable it is to mix a little humor with professionalism. Whether it's presenting in a meeting or pitching an idea, being able to hold a room's attention is key. Hope you enjoy the clip! Always open to connections and conversations about leveraging creativity in any field. #PublicSpeaking #CareerDevelopment #StandUpComedy

Do you get nervous before you give presentations? There is one thing you can do. Look for opportunities to do them. Put yourself forward for them. Yes it sounds obvious. And maybe too much of a challenge. But you can start small. Force yourself to say something in a small meeting. Then build from there. The more you do it, the easier it will get. I decided a long time ago I was going to start doing stand-up comedy. Then I waited for 5 years!! Do it now. #presentationskills #sportsmarketing #publicspeaking #sportsindustry

🚀 Crafting your expertise is like fine-tuning a comedy set — trial, error and lots of laughs. In stand-up comedy, not everyone laughs at every joke. Similarly, in our craft, whether it's a service or a skill, not everyone will resonate, and that's perfectly okay. We do not need to please everyone. Whether we're perfecting a joke or honing our craft, keeping it light, learning from every attempt, and enjoying the journey of becoming a master in our domain is a good idea. 🌟 Ever had a moment where a setback turned into a setup for success?
