No One Likes a Boring Story!
This trend has seen droves of clients at Voice Science desperate to stop boring their peers and inspire through the art of storytelling.
Why is it so hard to tell stories at work?
Well, because it’s easy to assume that it can’t be that hard.
But it is.
Otherwise, everyone would have a shiny Pulitzer Prize on their bookshelf.
The Little Shot is here to build your communication in lots of little shots until you become a Big Shot communicator (in the nicest possible way), so I hope you find this episode affirming.

HOW TO TELL BETTER STORIES AT WORK
Episode 10This little shot is scheduled for 10 am on Tuesday the 7th of June. If you arrive here earlier, don’t forget to turn on notifications via the YouTube premiere button so you can be first to know once the mini-tutorial pushes live.
Are you scared you don’t tell decent stories?
It sounds like you may need to do something to optimise your storytelling abilities.
If you’re stuck, get help!
Don’t do it alone.
Placing high expectations on your communication without the tools to correct it is not realistic.
If I want to learn how to surf (which I do) I’ll hire a surfing instructor. If you want to learn to tell better stories, enrol in a course, buy a book on the topic for a basic start or send me an email!
Got a friend who tells the most boring stories you’ve ever heard?
Why not drop a kind, indirect and share today’s Little Shot?
If you want to be more agile with your communication, make sure you check out: The High-Performance Communication Audit , and enrol today maybe.
Ciao for now!
