TRAINING FOR TELLING THE STORY is focused on finding the right story and then telling it masterfully.
A cohort of a maximum of 12 people will work together, one-on-one with David as well as members of the faculty to find the right content and tell it well.
Learning Outcomes of TELLING THE STORY include:
- Recognizing when you are in your own way and how to become invisible.
- Understanding the four temperaments and practically applying that understanding.
- An introduction to the twelve different storytelling strategies and how to use them.
- Understanding the difference between the beginning, middle, and end of a story and unique skills needed for each.
- A deeper understanding of "Inspiration" and how to use it.
David's article about the importance of silence and the "pause" in storytelling
When people talk about effective storytelling, they usually focus on the words of the teller, rather than what happens in the silence.
