Within the next 5 minutes, you can access the most comprehensive video-based storytelling system that guides you to become the speaker others can’t wait to see

How would you like to keep your audience on the edge of their seats leaning on your every word as you get paid handsomely to make them TALL (Think, Act, Laugh, and Learn)?

Guess what? You can! However, it requires you to master the most important skill in public speaking and that’s storytelling.…

The good news is, once you grab hold of the right formula, you can become a master storyteller faster than you think!

But it takes so long to master storytelling, right?

Well, then let my long road led to your shortcut

Many years ago an organization in Michigan hired me to speak to a group of 300 employees. They paid me $3,500, scooped me up in a stretch limo, took me to a 5-star hotel, and wined and dined me. How did I repay them? By giving them a $150 speech.

That’s right, I failed miserably. When I finished, the woman who bragged about me and convinced the powers to hire me, would not even look me in the eyes. I have never heard from them again. However, today my rehire rate exceeds 89% and that day in Michigan is far behind me.

What Made the Difference?

Well, after many years, thousands upon thousands of dollars spent, and many severe failures, I eventually uncovered a FORMULA for creating spellbinding stories from scratch. This formula has changed my speaking destiny and can certainly do the same for you.

It could take you years and cost you a fortune (like it did for me) to figure out just the right combination that makes some stories work while others fall flat.

Or, instead of knocking yourself out trying to come up with a winning story, you can adopt my special 9-STEP FORMULA (and an additional 101 storytelling secrets) inside a brand new VIDEO PROGRAM called…

Why do stories work?

Darren LaCroix said that no child being tucked into bed has ever asked, “Mom, dad, can you show me a PowerPoint?”

Instead, they want stories! Well guess what? They are you. We grew up on stories and that’s the way we make sense of life.

Can you recall any of the lessons you learned from stories when you were a child? Do you think they had an impact on your morals and maybe even your actions?

Stories rule the world and now YOU can rule the stories. When you do, a whole new world of opportunities opens for you. I bet there are stories inside of you dying to be set free. You can set them free with this Formula for storytelling success.

But wait a minute, What if I already have Craig’s original storytelling audio course?

That’s great. I hope my original course has helped you. So how is this course different? There are 5 major differences between my past course and the brand new Secrets of Storytelling Video Course.

Difference-Maker #1 – Witness the Construction

In my past audio course, you listened to my completed stories that were already polished and built. While it’s great to have those examples, there’s only one problem. You never got to see where those stories were at their beginning.

I remember watching speakers and thinking, “That’s a great story. I wonder how it was when she first told it. I wonder how that story came about. How did it grow into greatness?”

SEE the Stories Under Construction

Wouldn’t it be helpful to see where a story was when it was still just an idea? And wouldn’t it be valuable to look at that story again once it was completely polished? Well, that’s what you get in this course.

But you don’t just get one story; you get 6 different stories by 6 different speakers. That’s right, in addition to the sample stories from Craig Valentine and Darren LaCroix, you get to see 6 speakers’ stories from the very beginning and then watch those stories evolve (step by step) with the tools, formulas, and the model you too can use to develop your own superb stories.

Difference-Maker #2 – You can SEE it

Words are important in storytelling, but, make no mistake about it, storytelling is a VISUAL art. That’s another difference between my original program and this one. This time it’s on VIDEO. You can…

• SEE the spaces between the lines
• Experience what it means to really use the stage
• See how what’s NOT said often speaks louder than what IS said
• Master the character dynamic including spacing, posture, voice, tension, silence, etc.
• Perfect the often ill-pursued combination of narration and dialogue
• SEE how to use your delivery to make rather than break the story
• And much more

Remember the wisdom of Patricia Fripp who once said, “People won’t remember what you say as much as they’ll remember what they SEE when you say it.”
