"How can I get better at storytelling?" ??This is a question I read on a daily basis on LinkedIn these days. Many want to be a storytelling expert & some people assume that they can make it in a few days or weeks by completing a course. I share 0 e-books or courses as recommendations but suggest reading as much fiction as possible. I had been reading fiction since childhood and I never joined a storytelling course. If you want to be a pro storyteller in the near future, start reading fiction or listen to the narration of experts. No other shortcuts. No tips and tricks. Reading and listening to stories is the only pro advice to be a better storyteller.

Stories are what that is going to rule the world. So to up your game, start reading. I am a voracious reader, but my partner is a voracious listener of books. Exposure to different types of stories and storytellers is a great way to learn the craft of storytelling. Exposing yourself to different formats of stories, you are exposing yourself to different techniques and styles. And this helps in developing your unique voice. Pay attention to the structure of the stories you read and listen to. How do the stories start, build, and end? Notice how the authors use language to create a sense of place, time, and atmosphere. Pay attention to the characters in the stories. What are their motivations? What are their strengths and weaknesses?

Honesty, sincerity and authenticity is not only important in personal life but it's also so important in a work setting! It's quite surprising how hard it is for us to break down that psychological barrier between work and personal "us". But the closer we are to our true selves in all aspects of our lives, do we find that a lot of our "personal stories" can inspire our "work stories" and vice versa!

Although finding your own voice for telling a story is important, imitation can be good practice. Learning from those who came before you will help you shape your voice. I wouldn't copy everything word for word, but using others as inspiration can be a good place to start.

The first thing to do is: 1. Read: Start by reading novels consistently. I started it with this, but when I started writing stories, it wasn't as easy as I thought. So, that brings us to the next step... 2. Write: Funnily enough, most people have no idea that writing their everyday experiences in a journal is more like telling a story. Get a book or journal, write the way you speak and do this consistently. 3. Watch Closely: At this point, you need to look out for those whose storytelling prowess you admire, study them, but don't copy them. 4. Find your Uniqueness: Being unique is very important if you want to get better with storytelling. Not everyone will have the same style, so figure yours out and stick to it.

The STAR Method is a bit transactional, and reductive. Works great if you need to describe a functional workflow, but caution it can also feel a bit de-humanizing. Of course, there's business to attend to. Alternatively: consider the 3 Cs of storytelling. Circumstance, Choice, Consequence. 1 - Circumstance is all about the set-up: where are we, what's the situation, orient the audience. 2 - Choice is all about the options, dilemmas, considerations, and ultimately choice to be made or has been made. 3 - Consequence is about the impact, reaction, net effect. Circumstance, Choice, Consequence - rinse and repeat. All of life follows this formula. Whether you're a telling a story looking backwards or presenting a story for looking forwards.

If you're standing 10 feet away from a painting, you can see the image as a whole. As you walk closer, only inches from the picture, you notice details that captivate you. The details of a story add texture that awakens your senses. Sharing specific information further invites the audience into the story. It recalls memories of their senses like taste, smell, or sight. This second story element is sensory. Details enrich the story and experience for your audience. In our film, "Ripple of Cars," Joe shares an experience of feeling bad for his daughter's friend biking home from work. Just reading that falls flat. But when Joe details the time of day and 10-degree weather, a detailed image is painted in your brain.

Imagine storytelling as a canvas, and details are the vibrant colors you use to paint a vivid scene. Emotions are the heartbeat, infusing life into your narrative. When you share a story, go beyond stating facts. Dive into the sensory details – the sights, sounds, and scents that transport your audience into the moment. And don't forget to reveal the emotions, the feelings that make your story relatable and resonate with your audience.

To practice storytelling, find an old family photo of your childhood. Look at the image to study it. Remember events that day. The smells and voices. The lessons. Share. As a portrait artist, I get to know people's stories (even if just a blip of time). It's amazing what I learn about someone through their reference photo. ??????

To improve storytelling, practice by observing everyday moments for inspiration. *Study storytelling techniques from diverse sources, and seek feedback from peers. *Continuously explore different storytelling mediums, genres and experiment with storytelling styles to enhance your skills.
