7. Toby Caldwell – Surviving Standup – Lessons from the Edge of a Comfort Zone
In this episode of the Power Up Podcast, we are thrilled to welcome our long-time friend and colleague, Toby Caldwell. Toby is an experienced coach, trainer, and speaker who helps businesses and individuals think, learn, and communicate better. But today, we dive into another fascinating aspect of his life: his career as a stand-up comic.
Together we explore the many lessons Toby has learnt from a long career as a stand-up comic and how they can be applied to every aspect of life, from commanding a room with confidence to embracing failure as a stepping stone to success.
In this episode we explore:
- How Toby started in stand-up comedy (a lesson in facing your fears!)
- The challenges and rewards of performing live
- Commanding a room with confidence
- Embracing failure as a stepping stone to success
- Using humour to connect with and engage an audience
- Building resilience through comedy
- Enhancing presentation and public speaking skills
"Failure isn't the end—it's just a stepping stone to something better."
“The ability to tell a funny story, is also the ability to engage and audience, and help others learn."
