Episode 32

Nick Diakanastasis | How introverts can become amazing speakers and presenters

This episode was a lot of fun to record as my guest Nick Diakanastasis is a funny guy with a real talent for teaching the skills and tools of public speaking to people who self-identify as introverted.

We talk about why presentation skills are no really longer optional, especially for business owners. We discuss the glut of people claiming to teach presentation skills with absolutely no background. There may be rants ahead. We also discuss how acting prepared Nick for a career as a presentation and public speaking coach and we might even mention putting cumin in your cheesecake... gross, I know.
