Abeg Vex Podcast - 📢 Communication Hacks from the Stage to the Boardroom

Wednesday, May 14, 2025

Summary

In this episode of Abeg Vex Podcast, Idongesit is joined by stand-up comedian and communication coach Parker Dean, who shares how his background in improv and live theater helped him build Off the Cuff Consulting, where he’s now taught over 800 clients across 30+ countries. Parker breaks down how breathing, eliminating filler words, and embracing silence can dramatically improve communication—especially in high-pressure spaces like investor meetings or team presentations.

Whether you're a founder trying to impress investors or a leader pitching to executives, Parker reveals powerful techniques like solo improv warmups, audience engagement strategies, and recovering from cold rooms without losing your cool. He reminds us that the best communicators focus less on themselves—and more on connecting with their audience. #PublicSpeakingTips #CommunicationCoach #ImprovSkills #PitchLikeAPro #CareerGrowth
