Keynote and Event Speaking

  • How to be Coherent

    Coherence is essential when speaking like a storyteller. To gain the listener’s trust, one must align the myriad vocal and nonverbal cues with the content of their speech. People want to hear the truth, and all the component parts of communication need to say the same thing.

  • Know the Golden Thread

    We are all made of stories, and to know the golden thread of our life to this point is to know where we are going. The same is the case with schools, companies and institutions. To create change, one must start with seeing the story—see the golden thread. Then, you will know where and how to make adjustments.

  • Listen Like a Storyteller

    Before we say anything, it is essential to properly read the room and know who the audience is in that moment. All your preparations will be for nothing unless you know who is there, why they are there, and what is happening for them. Listening like a storyteller is attending everything.
