Course content

  • And so we begin.3:39

    "The secret of getting ahead is getting started" - Mark Twain

    This video is the overview of what we are aiming for.

    These classes are about accessing your stories and practicing telling them without notes.

    Lynn discusses the questions that plague us before we start to tell our stories, like "Which is the voice you should use for your stories?"

  • First things first.1:26

    "Before anything else, preparation is the key to success" - Alexander Graham Bell

    Lynn discusses how to get the best from the course, including the requirement to be able to record yourself.

  • Just One Sentence
  • Who do we have here then?0:48
  • Example Name Story - Mark3:40
  • Example Name Story - Hannah3:06

    One example is never enough. Afterall no one wants to sound like Mark unless they are Mark!

    So listen to Hannah to realize that your story is completely yours and there is no template that you need to follow.

  • Record Your Name Story

Requirements

  • There are no requirements or prerequisites for this course.

Description

AI can be great, it can even write some OK stories.

BUT it won't differentiate you from everyone else.

The technical aspects of narrative storytelling (which AI has learned) are just not as important as speaking authentically, describing your unique perspective, and being clear about what you want to convey in your story.

We all sound the same until we speak our truth.

Lynn Ferguson has taught hundreds of people how to feel comfortable in their own voice, and over 16,000 people have taken our free Udemy course "LIFT Your Storytelling To Improve Your Public Speaking".

She will lead you through the rudiments of effective storytelling, using examples from her classes in Los Angeles and setting short exercises to have you practicing your skills throughout the 42 videos and audio recordings.

The most powerful, compelling stories that you can tell, are the stories that ONLY you can tell.

Your perspective. Your Truth. In YOUR voice.

Lynn teaches storytelling like we learn to ride a bike.

  • No amount of academic theory of cycling will ever prepare you for that moment when you climb aboard a bicycle.

  • You need to get on that bike as soon as possible and practice.

For you to be able to build and improve your stories, you need to be able to hear yourself accurately and in a constructive way as soon as possible. Before long it will become 'just like riding a bike!'


Record Your Stories:

To get the most from this course you will need some way to record your stories via smartphone, webcam, video camera, or simple voice recorder.


Share Your Stories:

The course includes 14 assignment exercises to help guide you to define and tell a 5-minute story from your life. You can also share your recordings so that Lynn and the team (as well as other course students) will be able to give you constructive feedback.

Who this course is for:

  • The best way to be heard and have your messge be remembered is to use storytelling, because the human brain is effectively a story machine.
  • There are a lot of people teaching how to use storytelling, but they often focus on structure and that polished appearence that we are becoming accustomed to ignoring every day in adverts and promotional materials.
  • The world is missing your full potential, because it is missing your unique perception and knowledge.
  • You should be heard and yet to be listened to you'll need to use your unique voice - otherwise you'll sound like everyone else and have a powerpoint presentation like everyone else.
  • We have all been telling stories our entire lives, this course is about becoming more aware of your stories and unique voice.
