The Standup Trainer

About the Book

Like stage actors and standup comics, trainers perform before a live audience. This book shares theatrical secrets that can enliven learning and enhance presentation skills: how to move and gesture dramatically, how to deal with difficult audience members, and how to create and deliver humorous training material. If you've ever thought to yourself, "But the material I teach is so dry, there is no way I can make it interesting," then this book is definitely for you.
