    45 Seconds of Finger Guns

    Keir Kirkegaard is TalentStacked. Keir does business development for Ovation Communications. But he's also and actor, singer, educator, and cookie sous chef. In this episode, Jeff and Keir talk about Ovation's approach to teaching public speaking and executive presence by leaning on the skill of actors. They dive into how authenticity and acting create a powerful- if not paradoxical- bond to make you a more engaging, memorable speaker. They explore the ways actors create presence and how you can do the same in your presentations. And they try to decipher why you can remember every quote from "Anchorman," but not what you learned in training last week. So if you've never considered how acting might be the foundation of great public speaking, then dive into another TalentStacked and find out why you might just need to schedule that improv class after all.

Join Deb and I as we reminisce on the past, discuss the finer points of #Carefrontation, and find agreement on just what kinds of hairstyles are most employable for graphic designers- all while trying NOT to get me sued for slander.
