Day 433 || how to storytell better

How to tell a better story: Be present, stay confident, get curious and honest. Then ask yourself: Why this story? Why now?Is the audience and timing appropriate? Don't derail the energy. Read the room. Is this story worth telling? Keep your central message in mind throughout the story. Am I building a through-line? Drop breadcrumbs so your listeners can relate and pick up on clues that help keep them on board throughout the story. Give yourself a thread to follow from the beginning of your story to the end. Am I sharing too much? Avoid TMI. Keep your backstory relevant and don't over-do details that don't actually build the story. Change your inflection and pacing to build tension. Punch up, don't be petty. Take your time and have fun. Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed. Hosted on Acast.
