Bee Baumann | How humour helps with communication and can also be liberating

Could laughter be the thing that sets you free?It liberated my guest Bee Baumann when she discovered a gift for humorous speaking and found that it suddenly opened up a whole world of creativity for her. She's written a book called 'Gurrl, you ain't crazy', she's won humorous speaking contests (much like myself) and we both discuss how comedy is an amazing vehicle for truth and influence.In this episode:an exclusive excerpt from Bee's book read by the author herselfhow humour is a form of rebellionhow humour helps with communicationthe difference between humorous speaking and stand up comedythe different kinds of listening skills and why you need to know themlearn Bee's H.I.V.E. communication matrixand much more in a fun and lighthearted chat with the amazing Bee Baumann.Did you enjoy the show?

Om Podcasten

Podfluence is the show for business coaches who are aiming to grow their reach and recognition by mastering the methodologies to maximise the impact of your presentations. More and more coaches are realising that podcasts are one of the best ways to develop your personal brand, become a trusted voice and generate organic lead flow through strategic investment of time and energy. Relationship marketing is here to stay and there are few better ways to build relationships with your perfect future clients & customers than being on podcasts as a guest or starting your own podcast. Lots of people can tell you how to start a show, a few can show you how to grow a show but hardly anyone out there is showing you how you can become known as a key person of influence in your area of expertise by going on the right shows and by showing up in the right ways. Just as public speaking can increase your credibility and professional image, it all depends on being able to present yourself well, deliver messages with clarity, confidence and charisma as well as being able to keep people entertained and engaged whilst you have their ears. Few other formats have your voice going directly into the ears of most of your listeners the way podcasts do and the ability to have longer form conversations that allow people to better know you and understand how you can help them solve specific problems. Join me week by week as I share my own experience and expertise as well as those of other experts and valued voices who are maximising their impact through the medium of podcasts.
