Paging Dr. NerdLove Episode #57 – How To Tell Amazing Stories

December 7, 2017 by Dr. NerdLove 1 Comment

Being interesting isn’t just about knowing things or having done incredible things. You also want to be able to share those experiences with others. Most of us don’t think about the way we present ourselves to others – not just in how we look or how we act, but about why people should want to get to know us or spend time with us.

This is why you need to know how to tell stories. When you’re in an interview and they ask you about a time that you overcame a challenge, you’re telling a story. When your date asks you about where you grew up or what you do for a living, you’re telling a story. When you’re pitching your services or your idea to others… you’re telling a story.

Telling a story about yourself is part of how you convey who you are. And the best, most interesting people out there are the ones who know how to convey information about themselves in a compelling, entertaining manner that not only gets the point across, but keeps the listener actively engaged.

Show Highlights:

  • Why how you tell your story is more important than what your story is about
  • How focusing on the end is the key to telling a good story
  • The way to structure a great story
  • The importance of creating vivid characters
  • Why every good story starts with the climax

…and so much more.
