One of the ways Toastmasters helps you overcome your fear of public speaking is through humour. The impromptu speaking sessions called “Table Topics” are always fun and only last between 1-2 mins. Here’s a funny video I found that may look familiar. We’ve all seen speakers who stumble over their words and fumble like this. Well it doesn’t have to be like this.

Sean Stephenson delivers the first part of his keynote, Time to Stand. Listen to him carefully as he demonstrates excitement through telling a story. Afterwards he eventually gets into the purpose of his talk. Starting a speech with a personal story is one of the most powerful ways to setup the context for the audience.

This is really powerful because its not talking down to people in the audience. At all times Sean is confident, in control and talking directly to the audience. And my point in posting this video clip is to show you if Sean can do it, so can you…!

Any ideas why he keeps moving the wheelchair around?
