[32:15] David JP Phillips, spent seven years and studied 5,000 speakers to identify and distill the core skills and subskills of communication. On today's show, he shares the results of his research, how many skills he discovered and how he uses them to coach speakers to improve as efficiently as possible.

Imagine making one simple tweak—such as adjusting the volume of your voice—and having it cascade, improve your performance in several related areas. This is just one example. Through David's process, such effects are not just possible—they are predictable.

David is the founder of HeadGain Academy, and a TEDx speaker. He also presented on the topic of today's interview at the 2021 Toastmasters Convention. He also wrote about this topic in the April 2022 issue of the Toastmaster magazine which you might want to have handy while listening to this episode.
