Storytelling is the key to EVERYTHING you want to achieve. If you want to give a speech, lead your team, convince customers, or guide your organisation you need to be telling a story in which your audience can see themselves. Story also has an essential role to play for leaders wanting to find or rediscover their mojo. What story are you telling yourself and the outside world? What story do you want to be able to tell? Where do you think you are in your particular quest? What adversities have you already overcome, and what obstacles do you anticipate in the future? What will the punch-the-air moment be, when you know you have achieved your goal? We are all on a journey, and being able to see our lives, or an important speech or presentation, in that context is liberating. But where and how to find that story? If you are starting with a blank piece of paper, or only have the vaguest ideas about what it may be, you are in good company. Like many people, when Stuart, the director of an IT company, first went to Robin he said, “I don’t care who you’ve worked with in the past, no one is as nervous as me.” Six weeks later he wrote “The speech was absolutely perfect. Waiting to deliver it was like when you buy someone a really good present and can’t wait for them to unwrap it.” We are all born storytellers. Robin’s gift is to help people find those stories, and to use them to connect to their audience. Another client, Andrew, a CEO said: “His work with me greatly enhanced my business and led to increased sales and an overall expansion in my business. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone with an open mind who is willing to expand their personal and corporate horizons – he is a gem.” In addition to his 1-2-1 work, he facilitates fun, interactive and highly practical storytelling workshops on-line and in-person. Robin’s story: Following a successful fifteen-year career in the advertising and television industries, he wrote an internationally-acclaimed non-fiction book about… storytelling. It was when he was speaking at literature festivals and events around the world that he discovered the true power of spoken stories, and the magic of creating a connection with an audience. People began to ask him to help them tell their stories, and this has become his calling; to empower people to say what they need to say, in the way they need to say it. You have a story – about your brand, your company, your project, or yourself. It's a hugely important story. So tell it brilliantly! www.robinbayley.com www.keynotedoctor.com
