Key Takeaways:
The Essence of Storytelling: It's all about beautifying the time you share with your audience. Think of it as painting a picture with words!
Look Good, Feel Good: Wear something that grounds you when you're on stage. And a pro-tip? When you nod, your audience will too! 🤗
Audience First: Remember, it's not about you. It's about THEM. Your listeners want to be transformed. They're yearning for change, growth, and enlightenment.
Engage with Infotainment: Mix education and entertainment - because who said learning can't be fun?
Get Noticed: Smile wide, exhibit confident body language, and amp up your voice and movements. Be the speaker everyone can't help but notice!
Team Up for Success: Ever heard of 'Collaboration over Competition'? Even if Sinatra and Elvis weren’t the best of buddies, their duet was a smash hit because they shared an audience!
Storytelling Blueprint: Movies and books generally follow a 5-step journey - confusion, call to adventure, new world, meeting a mentor, and triumphant return. It's all about the adventure and lessons learned!
Dealing with Criticism: Not everyone's going to love your story. And that's okay. Use their stones not to retaliate, but to pave a path for others.
5 Steps to Storytelling
1. There was a time in your life where you were very very confused
2. Then you got a call to an adventure
3. Only when you got there, you entered a new world
4. Then you met your mentor, someone who changed your life, and you zoomed into a situation until you feel something
5. Then you came home to shine your bright light and conquer your confusion, everything is clear now because of your adventure
