It’s one thing to know the steps to telling a great story. It’s another thing to tell it. Like every other skill, you master the art of storytelling by practising. You have to get yourself in front of people and watch and listen for what resonates with them.
“You could watch Roger Federer return serves all day long, but that doesn’t mean you could replicate them.”
Here’s a few ways to put this skill into practice:
- Become a kitchen table storyteller and tell powerful stories in everyday settings.
- Start a blog.
- Create a note-taking, story-writing ritual.
- Consider how you could rework stories you’ve already told.
- Reminisce with family and friends.
