Tried and Tested Techniques from Public Speaking's True 10,000 Hour Masters: Stand Up Comedians

Why take this course?

Hi, I'm David Nihill. I've spent over 10,000 hours on stage. Here's how I can help you:

I've always been afraid of public speaking but I'm lucky enough to have the option to get paid to do it. Wacky I know. To try and overcome my own fears I spent the last 11 years on every stage I could find. I've won storytelling and standup comedy competitions, have a talk on TED, spoke at many of the world's largest tech and business conferences, recorded a comedy special, and taught this topic at some of the world's leading institutions, like Stanford Business School and University of Oxford. I wrote a bestselling book on the not so sexy subject and run a high level ghostwriting company that's behind many of the world's highest profile leaders talks.

I've applied a lot of what I've learned to help thousands of students manage fear of public speaking, give TED talks, be the one who speaks at conferences on behalf of their company, get promoted, get paid to speak (and get paid more to speak), deliver more engaging lectures, tell better and more impactful stories, and nail that wedding speech, job interview or non profit funding. Everything I learned clocking up over 10,000 hours on stage you'll learn in a fast and fun way. It will save you years of learning the hard way and is the most fun and laugh out loud way to become a better and more engaging public speaker.


What they're saying about it: 

“My audiences were engaged, emotional, and laughing out loud. David Nihill is a master.” Blake Irving - Former CEO and Board Director of GoDaddy


“I've given quite a few talks and David's content is the most helpful I've found on becoming a better speaker. Plus it made me laugh out loud!.” Justin Mares - Bestselling Author, Speaker, Founder of Kettle & Fire


“This course is great. I haven’t taken it yet but David drew a picture when he was 6 years old of a penguin drinking beer in a Chinese restaurant and it was clear the potential for slight wisdom and misguided creativity were there.” —Marita Nihill, David’s Mother


Most Presentations Are Glorified Snoozefests! Let's Change That

Aside from making your day a little less fun, boring presentations are also bad for business. Now, more than ever, your message is competing against hungry pets, rambunctious children, and everything happening on Tiktok. The good news: knowing a few techniques will make sure yours are never dull. The even better news: The bar out there is pretty low. No matter what your experience level, you can stand out fast. This course will make sure you do just that and in a fast and fun way, no matter what level you are. This is everything you'll ever need to know about public speaking in one place.

I discovered this course to be immensely valuable in my TEDx preparation. David's communication was exceptionally clear and articulate, and he provided a wealth of invaluable tips and fresh perspectives. While I didn't explore the Content section extensively, as my talk is already written and edited, the Delivery portion offered insightful guidance. The course itself is impeccably produced, and it offers a plethora of rich and varied examples.

It's just wow! However, the pace is too fast for me, so I need to slow down the speed of the video sometimes.

To the point, short and with good examples and tricks. However very focused on the comedy culture that cannot be applied in every setting. But worth the money and time. And you get also some laughs for free

I have been an accomplished invited conference speaker with excellent ratings, however since then I became an academic (PhD in Commerce) and lost all my previous experience /confidence and sound very boring. So this course for me is really fabulous and do-able and much needed.

This course is definitely helping when it comes to creating content and different tips to being more confident such as using images and gifs. It feels quite focused towards introducing a lot of humour into speaking in front of people which isn't a bad thing!

So far it is keeping my attention and I'm learning a few new tips. Some of these items I'd love to implement. Naturally, I'm very comedic and if I could incorporate a few of these tips, I think it would help to make me a better speaker.
