In this episode, we cover the power of great storytelling with David JP Phillips. David is a TED speaker and master storyteller who has studied over 5000 speakers to identify every single skill speakers use in order to convey their message.

 Humans are storytellers by nature, so the ability to tell a great story is something we can all learn and develop over time – but where do you start if you want to become a great storyteller, what is the structure of a great story, and how do you practice if you’re not already a public speaker?

 What to Listen For:

 Storytelling is a skill like any other, but that means to become great at it requires you to practice it – how can you become good at anything without adequate repetition? But unlike many other skills, storytelling is something you can practice every single day with anyone you talk to. Just think about something that has happened in your life, large or small, and tell the story of it through the 4 basic steps discussed in this episode.
