How to Skyrocket Your Success With Storytelling
b'
It\\u2019s 2016. I\\u2019m putting on a high-stakes speaking and storytelling workshop. One of the attendees \\u201cShawn\\u201d is the CEO of a tech company, and he\\u2019s not buying the idea of using storytelling to raise money and land deals.
I say to him, \\u201cGive me two days. But you\\u2019ve got to play all in. Are you in?\\u201d\\xa0
Despite his skepticism that anything will drastically change for him, he reluctantly agrees.\\xa0
When the workshop concludes, he feels he has a new competitive edge with this storytelling knowledge.
Fast forward in time to two weeks ago when we run into \\u201cShawn\\u201d. He reveals that he\\u2019s practiced that workshop training ever since it ended and landed a life-changing deal with one of the largest software companies in his industry! He completely attributes his success to his ability to what he learned at my workshop:\\xa0
How to tell a great short story.
So if you want to know:
What powerful insider techniques do great storytellers use to get such great results? And how can you use storytelling as your superpower and get others to choose you in a highly competitive playing field over your competition?\\xa0
Then I\\u2019ve got you covered! Today\\u2019s episode switches things up a bit. It\\u2019s very short and all about the Masterclass I\\u2019m offering (I only do this a couple of times a year!) that teaches you how to skyrocket your success with story.
What you will learn in the Masterclass:
- Why stories matter (with proven results)
- How stories work (with a behind-the-scenes unpacking)
- What change you can make to any story for dramatic effect
- What crucial element every story needs
- What essential question you must ask when using stories for business
A little about me:
Hi there. I\\u2019m Kymberlee.
As a Speaking Strategist and founder of Storytelling School, I\\u2019ve had the pleasure of working with over 500 speakers, business leaders, and entrepreneurs worldwide for over a decade. No matter if those folks were getting ready to take the TED or TEDx stage or preparing for a high-stakes presentation with everything on the line, my specialty is High Stakes Short Form Communication. I\\u2019ve seen what works when influencing change and what doesn\\u2019t. It turns out storytelling is one of the most powerful tools you can have in your arsenal. That\\u2019s why I\\u2019m building a movement of master storytellers to affect change in the world on a global scale to help people tell real stories that have influence and impact. With effective storytelling, you change people\\u2019s lives.
Since competition for potential client attention is fierce, a story can make the difference between being memorable or irrelevant. You\\u2019ll find me sharing my matcha tea mishap to discuss perfectionism, my quest for Bruce Lee and Hello Kitty art to explore kindness, or the six months of live blade training I underwent to illustrate presence. I spend my days showing the power of using stories to help cement ideas and bring lessons to life and teaching my clients to do the same.
If you think business owners can\\u2019t tell stories or don\\u2019t have stories to share with their clients, staff, donors, followers, or investors, I invite you to reconsider your perspective. There\\u2019s no better place than in business to tell your stories so audiences, no matter how big or small, can understand how you think and what you value.
Now it\\u2019s your turn... If you\\u2019re ready to become a master storyteller and effect change in our world, you\\u2019ve come to the right place.
