Charisma versus Stage Fright | Deborah Frances-White | TEDxCambridgeUniversity

[@willsketchesmusic]

“Most people spend most of their lives, letting rooms tell them how to feel” oh my god, she hit the nail right on the head there

[@nickprocter7090]

This is one of the most influential training sessions I've ever been in. A phrase that got edited out of this clip that I still remember was "Powerpoint is your backing singers."

[@JonquilCoy]

What an excellent talk! I have seen Deborah Frances-White speak several times now - she does loads on diversity and inclusion and the content and delivery is always exceptional. This is powerful stuff indeed and essential viewing for all presenters.

[@healthfuldave5207]

Remarkable, funny, and great advice! On top of that it was immensely enjoyable. What a gifted speaker and comedian.

[@mareeslatter8008]

I'm bookmarking this to listen again, so very powerful, thank you for sharing your secrets.

[@moragmcgill]

Brilliant! She embodies the mind set and practices she suggests to develop charisma: assume the world is a good place; ask yourself how do I want to change the room? How do I want people to feel after listening to me? Neither "lion" nor "gazelle" (great metaphor by the way) but a very human, engaging, entertaining speaker.

[@camerenbirch-ghose6523]

This has helped me so much just in day to day situations, Deborah Francis-White is an excellent speaker and this is incredibly helpful advice!!

[@notefarm2023]

absolutely fantastic. It's perfect for musicians that suffer with stage freight too.

[@gaelledevriendt3560]

Wow, did not stop watching for a second, absolutely amazing!

[@innerpeaceproject]

One of the best presentations I've ever seen and awesome information!

[@johnhalbert3575]

Yeah that's awesome 👍

[@violetaveleva6143]

The best TED tolk ever! So inspiring

[@Kimchiboy08]

Amongst the best TEDx talks , thank you for sharing

[@mrali4654]

One of the best Ted Talks I've heard!

[@aliradmard8990]

While the time of discipline has been hard , it is proven Hebrews 12:11 true to me. I have experienced the world and I have found a new level of respect for Jehovah and his laws and his organisation. I have come to a realization that if I love Jehovah then I have to adore and respect his figurative wife and work in harmony with it. I have realized that as Hebrews 12:6 says, Jehovah disciplines those who he loves.This is a major help and confort for me. When I was child in the truth I acted like a child. I deeply regret what I done to myself, to our congregation and to Jehovah and I feel great sorrow for this. With the changed attitude I began to truly change my life in more ways than one. So now I confidently ask to be reinstated into the Christian congregation so I can experience Jehovah's love and forgiveness openly with my brothers and sisters.

[@Ryfencja]

WOW, this woman is fantastic, what a great play and golden advice she gave. Thank you, this was an amazing experience :)

[@bonniedavies6748]

Oof, well delivered, useful and funny. She's bloody brilliant. I'll end up watching this more than once no doubt.

[@quentonwillis3846]

By far one of the best presentations I've seen on Ted!

[@bdhjbazekduve]

What a great comedian! She is stunning.

[@TheRadiantDanceTeacher]

Thank you so much for this well thought out and truly helpful talk! A great blend of humour and insight. I will never forget the messages.

[@stuarthough8040]

Brilliant talk, thought provoking content. As Shakespeare said "To be or not to be that is the question."

[@nowhouse2008]

There's a certain Victoria Wood-ness about Deborah's delivery. Love it!

[@profdavidevansobentf8903]

TOTALLY, totally stunning! Thanks!

[@baoboumusic]

That was bloody amazing. Thank you!

[@matteglossy8372]

I am so excited with the idea of being able to enjoy performing, that I cried at the end of the video. Is it only me?

[@BxNERD]

The woman is brilliant.

[@romantchick]

Deborah! Just wonderful! I enjoyed your talk tremendously, and learned a lot that I will intentionally apply! Congrats1

[@johnhalbert3575]

😊 I'm very pls to know I'm not the only one that loves😍 👆 this talk but when last did you play it 💖

[@corgipants3840]

I really do appreciate this. She makes this so fun to watch. :)

[@matthewscott1091]

I’m at a bit of a disadvantage when it comes to body language. I have Essential Tremor & it causes my hands especially but also often my neck & head to shake. And guess what agitates the condition? Stress! Also caffeine ha. So say someone starts to get argumentative with me, I’ll literally have to stick my hands in my pockets or behind my back or I’ll be shaking uncontrollably! I’ve been pulled over in routine traffic stops & have to explain to the police officer that I have a medical condition because otherwise they think I’m suspicious & hiding something. I’ve literally been asked by police, “Why’re you so nervous?” And both my parents were & are cops! Lol PS I adore Deborah she’s a comedy genius & queen! 😉

[@haSHAH1]

this us GOLD! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[@jemima_gibbons]

She's awesome!

[@JojoHoman]

What a talent! Genius!

[@haSHAH1]

I LOVE THIS LION

[@oribiaaa]

ugh i love her

[@aliradmard8990]

“What profit is there in my death, in my going down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness?” (Ps. 30:9) David may have written those words toward the end of his life. But he was determined to stay alive and well as long as possible so that he could praise Jehovah

[@cjallison8362]

Excellent talk! I loved it!

[@johnhalbert3575]

😊 I'm very pls to know I'm not the only one that loves😍 👆 this talk but when last did you play it 💖

[@reuvengershon6625]

Loved that.

[@ensormagic]

This is possibly the best talk I've heard on this subject. And some of the worst camera work.

[@jakehahn2457]

Love this.

[@shanavasm5815]

Superb

[@jeandistefano5486]

[@persalba]

Brilliant! Thanks!

[@Lilly-iv4rk]

Came here for her accent but this actually helps me haha

[@wadiahal-filfil1598]

Amazing

[@AndrewSchlussel]

What's with the camera from behind? That is such a weird shot.

[@isabellacarrozza6873]

doing my first stand up set on monday confident with what ive written but scared to hear my voice over a microphone watching this on repeat

[@bung_chow]

how did it go?

[@alexbormanbou]

brilliant

[@maggiedennis4076]

That's how you do it! :o)

[@chelbylu87]

Brilliant, and hilarious :)

[@aliradmard8990]

Jehovah Please turn our eyes away from *worthless* things. We ask our prayers through our *high priest* and *king* of God's kingdom . 🙏🙏🙏 Amin

[@PIckledeggilkley]

No offence but I think Deborah speaks too fast at times. Slow down so we can hear you !

[@marianjones9106]

Excellent

[@johnhalbert3575]

😊 I'm very pls to know I'm not the only one that loves😍 👆 this talk but when last did you play it 💖

[@matthewscott1091]

Wow, she has lost so much weight today compared to 2015. Good for her. I almost didn’t recognize her when she first walked out here she’s so much thinner in more recent interviews. She’s such a hilarious woman I wish it was easier to find her stand up. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@kldc2156]

Hiya, I saw her live at the begging of the month. She looked so slender, so beautiful! She was poorly and still delivered 100% x

[@celesteklose4903]

That’s it! Fear of public speaking is the fear of being eaten. Light bulb moment! 💡

[@lazymonsta2007]

so good. :)))))

[@exibero]

The secret 14:44

[@aliradmard8990]

On the time of inauguration ceremony the selected king " jesus christ" sits on the throne of Jehovah in the midst of his enemies to proclaim the good news of God's kingdom. This government will bring the sanctification upon Jehovah name and vindicate the holiness of his great name.

[@aliradmard8990]

Satan would like us to focus on what those who are travelling on the spacious road are doing, on the good time they seem to be having.

[@aliradmard8990]

My God Jehovah! I beg you please! As long as I am alive, use my existence to announce your name to the world. 🙏🙏🙏 Otherwise, the day I fell into the *sleep of death* and turned into the *soil*; At that time, how can my *soil* be capable of bringing *glory, greatness, majesty, and dignity* to your name *Jehovah*?! 🤔🤔🤔 I make my request through the only savior of the world of mankind *Jesus Christ*. Amen

[@lingwang3714]

She is not Funny at all with those shoulder pads

[@poofiepoofie]

This is sexism in broad daylight. She doesn't know much about male comedians if she honestly believes this. No one would tolerate it if she said the same thing about female comedians.

[@georgebornyek711]

The delivery is too harsh. On one level - a constant push. First thing she did on stage was fiddle with her hair. The delivery is too aggressive for me. Amen. Hallelujah. Sorry, I cannot watch this.

[@lookheremyman2546]

I can't take my eyes off of her eyebrows.

[@ryaryano]

So, so irrelevent
