Description

Have you ever felt like you’re just not entertaining enough to hold an audience? Here’s the truth: you don’t have to be an entertainer to be entertaining. In this solo episode, Brian Miller shares 5 lessons he learned as a professional magician that will change the way you think about speaking. These are strategies that work whether you’re on stage, in a boardroom, or leading a workshop.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why storytelling beats content when it comes to holding attention
  • The power of your first and last moments
  • How to keep energy up when the room dips
  • Why you need “outs” for when things go wrong
  • How to simplify without dumbing it down
