Episode notes

Visit us at "Ever felt like you're flailing beneath the surface while trying to look calm in front of an audience? Welcome back, Nerd Nation! This week on The Fabulous Learning Nerds , we dive headfirst into the pool of public speaking and facilitation with our returning guest, the one and only Dean Griess - author, speaker, leadership coach, and proud owner of a ripped pair of pants (you’ll see). In this episode, we go beyond slide decks and course outlines. Dean shares real, tactical tools from his new book, Don’t Show Your Duck Butt , that will help you show up with confidence, authenticity, and purpose - no matter if you're on stage, on Zoom, or in front of a classroom. From tent cards and cowboy boots to mastering movement and managing nervous habits, this episode is jam-packed with practical gold - and a few hilarious mishaps from the frontlines of learning. Key Takeaways: Breathe to sync your brain and your mouth. Shallow breathing equals fast talking and a disconnected message. Master the room - virtually or in-person. Movement builds engagement, presence, and energy. Preparation is personal.
