Unlock the secrets of captivating storytelling with Tip #7: mastering body language. Explore how gestures, movements & expressions enhance your narrative & engage your audience. Learn to seamlessly integrate body language with your storytelling to amplify your impact ______________ For those who favour reading over watching, below is the transcript 👇 “I saw a study several years ago where something like 57% of communication was body language. Now, storytelling is not giving out information, it's not standing behind a lectern with your hands down by your sides. If what you saw was big, make it big. If you hid, you hide. If it happened over there, it happened over there. If I threw it and caught it, I'm showing it. I'm being it. The trick is to not exhaust people by moving around like a circus clown. You want to keep them engaged to marry your words with your actions. Because a loose, free flowing tongue can be tied by a stiffly stuck body. So learn to integrate the two when telling a story, and you're going to get a lot more engagement.”

Looking forward to seeing everyones progress!

A great story told at the wrong time, to the wrong people, in the wrong environment, makes for a crap story. You're not going to serve sausages to a bunch of vegetarians and stories are very similar. I know a guy here in our office building who loves hogging every conversation. He's got a story for everything and before a person even finishes talking, speaking, he's jumping into a story about what happened to him this one time or another. It has come to the point where we all just roll our eyes and come up with an excuse to sneak away. So ask yourself, is it appropriate for the setting? Will the listeners gain anything from what I am going to say, or will they be offended? Can I keep this story in my pocket so I can use it at a later, more appropriate time? Am I about to tell it simply to gain attention and invalidate others around me? Or am I really offering value and entertainment? As I mentioned in point number one, the market or the audience will always give you feedback and it's up to you to practise and become aware of that feedback.”
