7 Day Storyteller’s Action Plan Day 2 of 7 How to not look like a try-hard
2 IMPRESSION MANAGEMENT ⊗ We’re constantly trying to control how everyone else sees us. ⊗ Convincing other people that you’re cool never works
3 Fitting in is the worst thing you can do to be cool at best, and straight up sociopathic at worst.
4 DE-THIRSTIFY Logic is Try-Hard. Logic is Try-Hard. Stop making sense. Stop making sense. Stop making sense. Seriously. Real communication is about emotions. Stories are the way Stories are the way we connect we connect Stories are how we connect to big ideas and we can feel a story when it’s told well. Find the Emotional Find the Emotional Details Details Appealing to the senses is a great way to connect to emotions.
5 “If you want somebody else to completely believe in your idea, you must make them believe that it was their own idea all along. - Douglas Van Praet
6 CONNECT EMOTIONALLY What kind of things do What kind of things do you try to convince people you try to convince people of? of? Write some of these down in the workbook. Tell A Story Tell A Story Write down a story from your past. Use emotional detail.
7 IT’S GOING TO BE EMOTIONAL Day 3 is NEARLY HERE - Write down some stories you logicize all the time. - Write down a story from your past, rich with emotional detail. Connect without being a Try-Hard. Connect Emotionally, -= Duke =-
