033: Cam Barber – Improving better presenters with comedy

Not all students of the School of Hard Knock Knocks plan to
become a professional stand-up comedian. Some do it to improve
their business presentation and keynote skills, which is the
reason for this interview.


Cam Barber is not a comedian - although he has done a stand-up
course. Rather, he's an 18 year veteran of professional
presentation coaching, who has helped the likes of the Hawthorn
Football Club, the CEO of Boost Juice, Janine Allis, Andrew
Denton, and many other senior Australian public figures. In this
interview, we discuss the challenges that face both public
speakers and comedians, namely anxiety and being oneself, as
outlined in Cam's book 'What's Your Message?'. We also shed light
on the term 'ethnomethodology' and how it could be the new buzz
word in comedy!


If you give regular presentations in your day job, or suffer from
anxiety as a comedian, you'll love this interview. And if you'd
like to learn more from Cam, be sure to listen to his 'What's
Your Message?' podcast.
