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.

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:
