How to connect with audiences in more meaningful ways

One of the best ways to be a more sought-after speaker and a more effective presenter is to capture your audience’s attention through the stories you tell.

Unfortunately, most advice on how to get better at storytelling tends to sound like, “Just be a better storyteller.”

OK… but how?

In this session, I share how to improve your storytelling in ways that feel natural and doable no matter your experience level. I cover:

  • Where most storytelling gets stuck

  • What to include (and discard) from your stories

  • How to find your best stories

  • And more!

Who Should Watch

  • Aspiring and current speakers

  • Conference and workshop presenters

  • Leaders who regularly present at work

  • Anyone looking to level up their storytelling!
