The trick to powerful public speaking | Lawrence Bernstein 17:27

20 weeks ago17:27

17:27

Why do so many of us get nervous when public speaking? Communication expert Lawrence Bernstein says the key to dealing with the pressure is as simple as having a casual chat. He introduces the "coffee shop test" as a way to help you overcome nerves, connect with your audience and deliver a message that truly resonates. After the talk, Modupe explains a similar approach in academia called the "Grandma test," and how public speaking can be as simple as a conversation with grandma.

This week we made a few different boat outings here in João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. Dimi went sailing on a dingue , a Brazilian made Sailing dingy, with our friend Fernando. We watched the solar eclipse , right here in Jacaré at the marina. We went snorkelling to the Piscinas do Seixas , getting there on a pirate boat. And we went on another boat outing to Areia Vermelha , all right here in João Pessoa. We also made good progress on the boat work, pretty much finishing the work on the rudder. Not much more news on the parts for the engine unfortunately, but that hasn’t stopped us from planning a road trip.
