Mining Your Life for Story: One of the biggest challenges for writers and speakers is finding the right illustration for a presentation. But we don’t fully appreciate the goldmine hidden in ordinary, every day life. In all the activity, all the searching for a grand plot to live out, we often miss the exquisite narratives we lived just yesterday. As communicators, we must become skilled archaeologists able to unearth buried gems and give them shine. Whether you’re a blogger, book writer or public speaker, learn how to capture and craft the powerful stories right in front of you.

Whether addressing your team, writing an article or speaking from a stage, communication is essential for leaders. But knowing what to say and the best way to say it can be a huge challenge. How do you craft a fresh message that encourages, challenges and inspires? How do you communicate in such a way that your audience remembers it the next day or even the next week? How do you meet real needs in a tangible way when all you can think about is your nerves and knocking knees? It all comes down to three essentials, the anchors of your message. Master these, and each presentation becomes a powerhouse of opportunity to influence. Even better, you’ll also decrease your presentation prep time, increase the clarity of your message, and boost your confidence on stage. It doesn’t get any more fun than that.
