1
Hey there!
2
Storytelling is one of the most powerful tools to hook your listeners and keep them glued to every word you say.
3
But hey, a lot of the advice that is out there make it sound way too complicated.
4
But the truth is storytelling is actually pretty simple if you know what really matters.
5
If you just give me 9 minutes,
6
you'll discover the 5 storytelling techniques to tell insanely good stories.
7
But before we do that,
8
let me show you a quick example by John Krasinski,
9
whom you might know from The Office.
10
It's a 20 second story,
11
so really short, but it's so powerful.
12
By the end of today,
13
you'll know exactly how to tell stories just like him.
14
And then I said, yeah,
15
and he says, who are you visiting here?
16
I said, my wife.
17
And he says, is she an actress?
18
And I said, yeah.
19
He said, would I know her?
20
And I, I don't know, man.
21
Her name's Emily Blunt.
22
And he goes, he goes, you?
23
And I went, yeah.
24
And he goes, you?
25
You married Emily Blunt.
26
And I go, yeah.
27
And he goes, he goes, okay, go.
28
Did you notice what he did there?
29
He didn't just summarize the events.
30
He didn't say, oh yeah,
31
back then I was at customs and the agent asked me what I was doing
32
and I responded I was an actor and he was very surprised.
33
He doesn't do that.
34
He doesn't summarize the events.
35
Instead, he zoomed into the moment of the story.
36
The best stories don't just summarize events.
37
They don't stay at that helicopter level.
38
They zoom into the moment.
39
They take us into the trenches.
40
They let us be part of that physical moment.
41
The good thing is it's not that difficult.
42
I'm now going to show you five techniques that you can use in all of your stories.
43
First technique, location.
44
Say where you are.
45
The best stories start by stating the location.
46
Where are you physically?
47
Examples.
48
Two weeks ago, I'm sitting on my couch in my living room,
49
taking a deep breath.
50
Or September 2019, I'm standing in front of the conference room,
51
ready to walk inside.
52
Now, why does it matter to state the location?
53
Because the moment you say conference room or living room,
54
your audience will start to visualize it.
55
They're like, oh yes, I know a conference room.
56
And they start to visualize their version of that conference room.
57
Now, beginner storytellers, they often do the mistake that they give too many details.
58
They're like, oh, in that conference room there was a big table,
59
a television and a wooden floor.
60
Don't do that.
61
Don't do that.
62
It doesn't matter.
63
Just state the location as long as they can visualize it.
64
It doesn't matter all the details.
65
They have their own version of that location.
66
Second technique, actions.
67
What are you doing in that specific moment of the story?
68
Instead of giving way too much context about all the random stuff that doesn't matter,
69
matter, just say what are you doing in that specific moment.
70
That can be walking, biking,
71
shouting, reading, waiting, whatever it is.
72
Just state the action, state the verbs.
73
Examples, I'm in my office,
74
I open my laptop and start reading a message by my manager.
75
Or two weeks ago, I'm at the airport waiting in line at security.
76
Why does it matter to state the actions?
77
Because Because it brings in forward momentum.
78
It takes the listener right into the moment.
79
When you do that, your audience will immediately know that you won't waste their time.
80
You're straight away taking them into the most important part of the story.
81
Third technique, thoughts.
82
What are you thinking?
83
We as humans have thousands and thousands of thoughts every single day.
84
A lot of those thoughts are hopes,
85
dreams, plans, fears, worries, crazy thoughts.
86
Now share some of those thoughts of that crucial moment of the story.
87
Example, instead of saying, I was excited to meet my crush,
88
say, I thought, ah, this would be so cool, right?
89
Finally, I can see her after all that time.
90
Or instead of saying, I was very disappointed about that presentation,
91
say, I thought, oh man, this is bad, right?
92
Everyone will think now I'm stupid.
93
I can never go back there.
94
Do you see the difference?
95
It's a tiny tweak, but it makes any story more interesting.
96
But hey, a common mistake is that people share thoughts that sound too professional, too intellectual.
97
They say something like, I thought this represents a supreme opportunity.
98
Would your thoughts actually sound like that?
99
Probably not, right?
100
And so what you want to do is when you share your thoughts,
101
give us the raw, unfiltered thoughts.
102
Give us those a little bit like ranchy,
103
juicy, a little bit neurotic thoughts.
104
Now that will make your story much more relatable.
105
Fourth technique, emotions.
106
What are you feeling?
107
The best stories, they're emotional.
108
They take the listeners on this emotional journey.
109
And now with the thoughts with the previous technique,
110
you know now one technique to make it more emotional.
111
But there's another one.
112
The simplest way is to just state an emotion.
113
So you say something like, I was disappointed.
114
I was relieved.
115
I was happy.
116
Now that is pretty standard, right?
117
That is what most people do.
118
But it's not ideal because it is not really visual, right?
119
When you hear someone saying I was disappointed,
120
well you cannot visualize it.
121
And so the better way is to show the emotion,
122
show how it looks on the body,
123
on the face when you experience that emotion.
124
Let me give you some examples.
125
Instead of saying I was relieved,
126
say in that moment I leaned backward and let out this
127
big or instead of saying he was anxious say he kept tapping his pen on the on this table
128
and he kept glancing up to the clock every few seconds
129
do you see the difference showing the emotion makes it much
130
more visual it takes us into the specific moment of the
131
story technique number five dialogue what are you hearing many of
132
your stories will have more than one character maybe a manager your friend,
133
a co-worker, your dog, whoever it is.
134
Now, what did the character say in that crucial moment of the story?
135
What were the exact words?
136
Examples.
137
Instead of saying, my friend was very disappointed.
138
Say, in that moment, my friend looked at me and said,
139
Philip, what on earth was that?
140
Or instead of saying, my manager was very happy with my work.
141
Say, in that moment, my manager looked at me and said,
142
wow, that was really the best presentation you've ever given.
143
Now, do you see the difference?
144
Dialogue is such a simple tool to make any story much more interesting.
145
It is actually the tool that I use the most.
146
But I guess there's just one thing to keep in mind.
147
Similar as with the thoughts,
148
share the dialogue that is a little bit more interesting,
149
a little bit more juicy.
150
If you say something like,
151
in this moment, my manager said,
152
well, I'm very dissatisfied with the inadequate execution of that project.
153
Well, that would sound super boring, right?
154
Instead, pick much more juicy,
155
much more concise and catchy dollar.
156
Alright, now that you know the five most important elements in storytelling,
157
let's watch a quick one-minute video to see those elements in action.
158
That story is by Sarah Willingham,
159
who's a British entrepreneur, investor and CEO of Nightcap when you watch the story see how she zooms into the moment.
160
Can you spot when she shares the location,
161
the actions, the thoughts, the dialogue and the feelings?
162
So in my mid-20s I was running acquisitions for Pizza Express and walked into a meeting room.
163
I was two minutes late for the meeting and the person on the opposite side of the table,
164
the lawyer, looked up and said oh thank goodness for that.
165
Mine's white with one sugar please.
166
So I I thought, okay, this is a moment.
167
Walked round to the coffee,
168
made him his coffee, put the coffee in front of him and said,
169
would anybody else like a coffee?
170
And nobody said anything.
171
Nobody wanted one.
172
I made myself a coffee and then sat back down again opposite him.
173
And as he looked up,
174
I watched the colour drain from his face as he realised this enormous assumption that he'd made.
175
And it was such a beautiful moment in my career,
176
really empowering, when I sat there and realized that actually this moment where I'd had imposter syndrome anyway,
177
running a meeting like this,
178
but I'd been completely misjudged by the people on the opposite side of the table,
179
was actually this incredible superpower.
180
Because guess who walked out with the deal?
181
What an incredible storyteller, right?
182
Today, you learned the foundations.
183
You learned how to tell insanely good stories.
184
But hey, there are also a few more advanced storytelling techniques out there.
185
