  • What is the one decision that separates charisma from stage fright? In this talk, Deborah gives a masterclass on how to convert those nerves into a magnetic stage presence with her characteristic wit, humour, and of course, charisma.
    Deborah Frances-White is a stand up comedian who has performed across the world and has had a two year residency in the West End. She is currently recording a series for BBC Radio 4 called Deborah Frances-White Rolls the Dice. As a screenwriter she has received commissions from Fox Searchlight, the BBC and Channel 4. She regularly delivers corporate seminars on charisma, leadership, diversity, and inclusion.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    “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

    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."

    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.

    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! 😉

    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.

    “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

    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.

    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

    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.
