Have you ever noticed just how much you can say without uttering a single word?

We spend so much time thinking about our CONTENT when we are really saying so much more with our ENERGY!

So, are you making the most of the power of body language in your daily interactions? 🤔

Body language is a game-changer!

Whether you're giving a presentation or chatting with a friend - it doesn't matter - your gestures, posture, and facial expressions communicate sooo much. Way more than you might even be conscious of!

So try this... Next time you're in a meeting, observe how people are sitting. What are they doing with their hands? Their fingers? Their arms? Their shoulders? Their eyes?

You'll be amazed at how much you can learn just by watching and observing!

And.... don’t forget to smile—it’s contagious and the absolute best way to spread positive vibes 😊

Have you ever thought: What a bad audience? 🎤

Here's a bombshell for you - a lack of engagement is never the audience's fault.

It's ... YOU 😶‍🌫️

(Sorry to bruise your ego)

If you're not vibing as the speaker or MC, it's time to change YOUR energy and approach, to shift the energy in the room... pronto!

I was once hosting a large corporate function and you could feel the audience was stiff.

Everyone was on their best behaviour because they were sitting with their boss, and their boss's bosses.

So what option did I have? Only one... Laughter!

I called out the vibe in the room - which immediately created a strong point of connection - and I shared a hilarious story from my early days of public speaking; when I failed so hard it's a wonder I even made it through 🤔

The result? The room was roaring with laughter and the energy completely shifted.

It was such an awesome moment that reminded me how powerful laughter is...

And also, how important it is to tune into your audience to read the room accurately!

Today I’m running a full-day presentation skills workshop 🎤 and here’s a secret: I start every single session with laughter! 😂

It’s a powerful tool to immediately dissolve tension, allowing everyone to take a much-needed sigh of relief and be open to actually WANTING to fully engage in a fun learning environment.

Laughter is a catalyst for connection BIG TIME! It helps:

Break the ice 🧊
Relieve stress 🤯
Boost engagement 🫶🏻
Enhance creativity 🤩

And soooooo much more!

16 years ago, I took the leap into stand-up comedy.

Did I have nerves? YES! 🤯 Mental blocks? YES. Did I forget my jokes? In the early days, YES! And the ever-present sweaty palms and butterflies.... that was me.

The best part? The moments with audiences that are completely spontaneous are the absolute BEST! 🌟

To anyone feeling nerves that stop you from taking your next career jump, here's the good news: There's a joyful, FUN and easy way to fast-track your journey to confidence.

Believe me, it's WAY more fun than you think! 💡✨

Imagine the thrill (and the nerves!) of being chosen to MC for none other than... Tina Arena.

How does one even begin to prepare, and not panic? 🤔

My strategy? Full immersion in her best hits of all time (OBVS) plus a whole lot of SELF-TRUST! ✨

I leaned into my spirit, my humour, and my amazing knack for spontaneity.

The result?

A truly unforgettable experience. It’s amazing what can happen when you trust in your own abilities and just go for it 🤩

DM me if you struggle with self-belief but want something bigger in your life and career.... You see, our fear loves to trap us - and we love to listen to it. But we don't have to!

I would love to help you ❤️ My 1:1 presentation skills training is a one-of-a-kind experience 🧚‍♂️

Reflecting on 16 incredible years of writing and performing stand-up comedy, one huge lesson stands out:

LAUGHTER HEALS 🫶

It's the best kind of therapy 🎤✨

Finding humour in (every) moment has saved me more times than I can count!

In both my career and personal life, it's been my absolute anchor...

You see, it's not just about making others laugh; it's about creating a source of joy and a shared experience of connection between us all.

Plus, knowing that every bad situation, at worst, can become amazing comedy material, also helps... A LOT!

So never underestimate the power of a good laugh to transform an event, a moment, or even... a life 🥹

I am blown away, grateful and so excited to share that my TEDxMornington talk is now live! 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼
What a huge journey to the red dot 🔴!
This bucket-list 🎯 item is a massive endeavour: the messaging, the scripting, the performance, the delivery… and covering meaningful ‘ideas worth spreading’ in a tight time frame! As a professional speaker, this journey was something else entirely !! Wow…
In my talk, I share the story of how I unexpectedly became a magician - and the life-changing lessons I learnt from the joy, wonder, play and fun that followed .. the true magic that unfolded, actually 🤩
In a world that appears to be filled with darkness, we need to be the light, and bring the light ✨✨✨
If you love my video, I would be super grateful for a thumbs up 👍🏻 on the YouTube page 🎥 and a comment, so the important messages of play, fun, wonder, curiosty and inspiration spread far and wide 🌍 to those who really need them ✨✨✨
