We Don't Need AI to Surprise Our Audiences. We Need Great Delivery with Michael Chad Hoeppner

We sit down with Michael Chad Hoeppner, the CEO of GK Training, and Author of the bestselling book Don't Say Um: How to Communicate Effectively to Live a Better Life. If you struggle with saying "um," sounding flat, speeding, and dreading speaking in front of audiences, you're in the right place. Michael proves we're not doomed to poor communication habits forever.  His kinesthetic techniques and hands-on exercises like finger-walking to stop using filler words or silent storytelling to reduce monotone teach you to communicate well, regardless of your emotional state. And we discuss the opportunity AI brings us as speakers: an invitation to speak really well, be spontaneous, offer wilder ideas, and have the bravery required to surprise our audiences. Featured guestFollow Michael Chad Hoeppner: https://michaelchadhoeppner.com/Buy Michael's book here: https://tinyurl.com/4wxahzwdVisit Don't Say Um for exercises and more: https://dontsayum.com/Podcast hostDebbi McCullough has written for the Economist, Financial Times of London, and Guardian.
