I Love this Quotation

Someday after we have mastered the energies of wind, waves,tide and gravity we will harness, for God, the energies of love and for the second time in human history we will have discovered fire. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

The Transforming Power of Stories

As many of you know I am a professional speaker and committed storyteller. I doesn't matter who your audience is or how old they are they'll love you if you tell them stories.

You could be in a bar or at a house party telling a humorous or profound story, the fact is always the same... people love to tell and be told stories.

Notice that I stressed the words tell and told when referring to how stories are delivered. I did not use the word read. Anyone can read a story ( some better than others) but not everyone can tell a great story.

When you tell a story you make it your own. You can add or subtract details and add texture and suspense with your voice, gestures and facial expressions. In short you become an actor in your own drama and if you really know what you're doing you can have the audience in the palm of your hand in no time.

It is important to remember that we human beings have an insatiable appetite for stories. From the time we were children when we constantly asked our parents to,
"Tell me a story" until the present time nothing has changed. We love to listen to and tell stories.

Life is filled with experiences and when we share these experiences we are telling stories. When we listen to the experiences of others we are sharing their stories. Can you imagine life without stories? What would we talk about?

To validate this human hunger for stories all you have to do is observe what happens when you meet an old friend you haven't seen for some time. The first thing you want to do is find out what they've been up to. This is a request to be told stories.

This natural hunger for stories provides speakers, teachers, managers, parents and friends and with a powerful magnetic tool to connect with and hold peoples' interest and attention.

Stories inform, entertain and grab peoples' attention. Use them often and effectively and watch people come alive in your presence.
