Storytelling for Speaking Success

Tip #5 Tell a story with your whole body.

As the storyteller, you lay out each scene and keep the audience on their toes by showcasing the various elements that make up the story.

You can do this effectively by using various techniques to enhance the experience for your audience. Consider timing and pacing, rhythm and musicality in your voice. In addition, use of your body to convey emotion, character and dialogue to represent different characters or story archetypes. With practice, this can be done seamlessly.

Some of these techniques are more advanced. If you are new to storytelling, I suggest you get comfortable with each of these elements individually. With practice, the rest will come naturally.

I spent over 20 years answering my calling as a Midwife, guiding, supporting, and coaching, to help bring new life into the world.

A life-changing sudden illness, led to me leaving my calling and finding my purpose. Discovering my voice as a speaker and storyteller, sharing a message and empowering others to speak up, step up and share their stories.

I continue to bring new life into the world, guiding, supporting and coaching. This time in the form of stories as "The Story Midwife".

Lisa, thanks for speaking at our Project Managers Toastmasters meeting on Wednesday night. Yet another amazing, well told story. Your life has been amazing, but it's your ability to tell those stories that sets you apart. I look forward to the next time I get a chance to hear one of your stories.
