Sharing stories to groups – whether for business, civics, or art – requires a certain amount of performance art in order to effectively educate, entertain and inspire.
Along a trail, Dave shares a stream of consciousness spiel with tips and tactics. learned from dozens of gigs at all sorts of audiences. Including: slides are not the talk; don’t depend on tech; have a uniform; give tweet-able snacks; don’t re-introduce yourself; go “Donahue”; plus, riffs about finding flow, establishing momentum, starting in situ, finally knowing your audience and treating with intelligence.
Unedited and spontaneous, transcription also available. Recorded April 2013.
