208 - Why Leaders Need to be Storytellers [Enrollment closes today!]

So - today I’m talking about a BIG IDEA that’s deeply embedded in my Speaking Story course that is open right now… and that is this:

Speakers are Leaders and Leaders are speakers…

But what about the need for STORYTELLING as a leader?

We have something to say - but a story to tell?

And, are we willing to tell it?

I want to make an argument for you why storytelling is THE MOST IMPORTANT TOOL IN YOUR SPEAKING TOOLKIT.

207: The (real) ROI of a Powerful Story

I believe in the power and value of story. But what's the real VALUE of a story?
I’ve helped people tell a story that landed a multi-million dollar deal.
I’ve helped people tell a story that went viral on YouTube and Facebook.
I’ve helped peoples stand in their own vulnerable story, and watched it move an audience - impact people - CREATE the emotion and feeling that ushers in change.

So - let's talk about the REAL ROI on a powerful story. www.speakingstory.com

205: Three Things To Cut From Your Stories

I’m a BIG BELIEVER in editing! Editing is one of those skills as a speaker we don’t often talk about - but I think of editing as a leadership tool. It forces you to decide not just what you’re going to say -= but what you aren’t. It forces you to amok some decisions about what’s most important, most needed.

And as I was thinking about how editing interacts with storytelling - I kept thinking of a few “extra” things that seem to creep up in people’s stories, and that just don’t help you make your point well. They get in the way - they slow you down - they confuse the audience - they make it harder to deliver - they keep you from really excelling at this art form.

So - let’s dive in…. 3 things you need to cut from your story:
