You’ve proudly spent many hours building your PowerPoint only to see your audience drift away, yawn, and glance at their mobile phones. And to your absolute frustration, they seem to remember very little of your content. Not only is this painful for you but for your audience. Let’s change that.

What this keynote will
give you

Absolute and relentless motivation to start using Storytelling. You will from a psychological, biological, and neurological point of view know exactly WHY you should tell stories! And of course, you will get the very core tools needed to tell stories in everyday life, meetings, and presentations. There is a reason this talk is the most viewed TEDx talk on Storytelling in the world.

What
we all want

In your next presentation, not only do you have a PowerPoint prepared but you start it all off with a true story, a customer case. The audience’s eyes light up, you have their attention, they listen to your slides, you add one more story midway, they gasp. People applaud you, a couple of them give you a pat on the back with the complimentary comment “that was great!” AND as a bonus, they actually remember what you spoke about and your lust to present just shot through the roof.

I once attended a presentation, it was on the latest VR-tech. And boy had I been looking forward to it. As I sat there, the presenter moved in on stage and began speaking… with a slow, really slow, monotonous voice he told the exciting futuristic stories of virtual reality in such a way that it felt like a funeral. I left, empty.

I once attended a presentation on moss. I know it sounds strange, and I thought so at the time as well. I wasn’t meant to be there as I have zero interest in moss. However, on stage enters a person which with such passion tells stories about moss to the extent that I still to this day not only cherish the sight of moss but share the stories about moss with equal passion.

As you stood there backstage, you could hear the sound of five thousand people waiting for your entrance. You enter, you blow their minds, you forget a couple of things but as you leave to a standing ovation you tell yourself that, that’s okay – You’ll remember them next time. 1 year prior to this, when you hadn’t yet learned to control your internal stories, those few mistakes would have been louder in your head than the standing ovation from the audience.
