I'm standing in the annex of the conference room, listening to Ashley Tanks opening my session with a story that I've drafted for her. But suddenly there's a big problem. People are laughing. "What are they laughing at?" I panic. This wasn't supposed to be funny. It was supposed to be moving and impactful, to set the scene for what's to come. The laughter throws me off completely. But if there's one thing I've learned over the years when presenting, it's that the audience will take away what the audience takes away. You might have scripted something funny, and it lands seriously. You might have written something profound, and they laugh. There's no right or wrong. The audience will always have their view on what you have to say. So I start to relax and listen to Ashley telling the story... and it carries me away. My emotions start welling up. Suddenly I'm back in the moment where Marine and I decided to close our business, where Covid was the tornado at the door that we couldn't hold back.... where uncertainty, fear and self-doubt ruled. Then Marine is "on the phone" and, holy smokes, it's like it's real. I can't fight the river... it's sweeping me away. But there's no time left for emotion because it's my turn. I push through the door and into the conference room... And that's where you can join me if you'd like to watch the best keynote I think I've ever put together. It's the product of scores of hours of work by Marine and I, but, more importantly, it's the product of years of lived experience and practice at storytelling. Afterwards, amongst many comments, I was told "You need to have your own TED talk" and "Oh my God, that's the best keynote I've sat in". But perhaps most meaningful to me was that people took away simple, actionable ideas on how to tell better stories for themselves: like how to open a story, capture your audience's imagination.... or how to write a better email! This is one you're allowed to watch at work... it's professional development after all! But don't blame me if it leaves you a little teary-eyed, or laughing: they are what I was aiming to wrap the lessons up in. https://lnkd.in/gxVRgjCq #storytelling #keynote #intled

In meetings, as in education, we need to connect the dots, not collect the dots. #meetings #EventDesign #evaluations #FacilitatingChange #SethGodin #eventprofs

One of the most rewarding workshops I do for PRCA Training is "Pitching Stories to the media". It's the workshop where you see PR professionals start out unsure of the approach to take that will get their hit rate up, and it finishes with a group who can't wait to crack on. And the feedback about their successes we get weeks/months afterwards is a joy to read. Today's session is sold out but visit the PRCA website for new dates coming online. #MediaRelations #PRAgency #PRandComms #NeverStopLearning
