<p>Nate Gibson may not be a household name, but his rockabilly novelty, Duck Butt, released in 2017, reminds us that there’s something silly about our favorite feathered waterfowl. Ducks may seem elegant, but when they need to eat, they put their beak in the water, and their tail goes up and that’s when you see those legs churning in the water. Chaos.</p><p>You’re on stage. There are 100 people in the audience. You’re beginning to sweat. You’re holding the podium in front of you and your presentation is frozen. Sounds like chaos. When Dean Griess sat down to write a book about public speaking, he wanted to make sure that the readers wouldn’t feel silly in front of an audience. He wanted to help them glide smoothly along the stage and not flail furiously like a duck with its butt in the air. His book, Don’t Show Your Duck Butt, contains practical strategies to conquer nervousness, capture attention, and create remarkable experiences. </p><p>• Understanding Public Speaking Fears</p><p>• The Vulnerability of Speaking to an Audience</p><p>• Tips for Overcoming Nervousness</p><p>• The Importance of Body Language</p><p>• Navigating Technology in Presentations</p><p>• Buying Time During Presentations</p><p>• The Role of Breaks in Long Sessions</p><p>Connect with Dean on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/deangriess/</p><p>Get your copy of Don’t Show Your Duck Butt – https://deangriess.com/about-the-book/ </p><p>Nate Gibson – http://www.nathandgibson.com/index.html </p><p>Music courtesy of Big Red Horse – https://www.facebook.com/bigredhorseband/</p><p><br></p>
