    A great communicator is a master of story and storytelling techniques.    WHO'S THIS CHANNEL FOR?   This channel is for communicators; speakers, managers, thought leaders, teachers, trainers, pastors and writers - marketers, advertisers – and in fact anyone who has to get a significant message across to a significant audience on a significant occasion. STORYTELLING IS A TRANSFERENCE OF EMOTION The best communication has always been wrapped in stories, because storytelling is a transference of emotion and we humans respond when our emotions are touched.   STORYTELLING IS THE GREAT ENGAGEMENT TOOL Whether your story is a legend, a myth, a fable, or an anecdote, the purpose of your story is to engage others and elicit a response; be it laughter, tears, amazement or action. Storytelling does that.   WHO'S THIS CHANNEL FOR?

But we are not born with the knowledge of how to tell stories in an engaging way nor even the elementary speaking skills to do it convincingly. We all need help to be good storytellers whether it is storytelling with data, digital storytelling, making a speech, or teaching a lesson.

  3. Stories for salespeople about shutting up

    Stories for salespeople about shutting up

    Selling isn't telling In this live recording, I have a lot of fun with the audience as we explore most people's view of selling; i.e. you should have the gift of the gab. I explore through stories and anecdotes why talking too much can waste time, exasperate prospects, confuse prospects, lead you off on tangents and bring up objections prospects hadn't thought of. Above all I explain how talking too much means you lose control of the conversation even though you think you are more in control if you are hogging the conversation.

  4. A success story about a reluctant hero: G.I.DEON

    A success story about a reluctant hero: G.I.DEON

    Colin Pearce presents: 'G.I.DEON: A success story of a reluctant entrepreneur' I've  given this presentation to countless audiences at business conferences, youth camps, teacher conventions, retail convention dinners, family church services, both in Australia and the USA.  It is an adaptable story, always delivered in – I confess – my wacky narrative style – ridiculous in parts – generally inspiring faith and the enthusiastic pursuit of purpose in the hearers.  On this occasion, I'm speaking to one of my largest audiences;  7,500 members of the IDA group members at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne. You can tell they loved it. You should too. I was having a great time. You see, the presentation captures the fundamentals of human endeavour where people are involved. Many of us suffer from imposter syndrome. The man in this story did. He had no idea people would follow him at the start. Then he experienced sudden growth. Then he lost 90% of his audience/followers. He, like many people (maybe you as well as me) often expect large numbers and a big following to bring us through to fame riches and glory. We hear of people with 1,000 Facebook followers of 10,000 or 100,000 and think we will never come to anything unless we push hard for that kind of number ourselves.  The story illustrates that working with a select audience – a contained following – using a clear strategy, will give us a very satisfactory result.  Sure, you can cite Alexander the Great, Artaxerxes, Augustus Caesar, Christopher Columbus, Walter Raleigh, Henry Ford, the Rockerfellers, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and other mass leaders and marketers who had (or have) millions of followers and customers. They are there in your history books. I know.  But consider this: there have been 108 billion of us since the year dot and only a few hundred have reached that mega status.  A few hundred - maybe a few thousand. About a poofteenth of a percent. You might be the next one, but the facts and the mathematics show us that the other 107,999,998,021 of us, are, and will only be legends in our own lifetimes at best and only over a few years or less and we need to work out how to get to that status at least. So listen to hear how Divine help, a bit of faith, a small crew and a simple plan worked out for a run-of-the-mill farm boy – and will probably satisfy your expectation for life too.

  5. Stories about how you are ten times better than you think

    Stories about how you are ten times better than you think

    Colin Pearce presents live: 'You are ten times better than you think' It is a well-established truth among counselors and psychologists that we all suffer from low self-esteem—a less than helpful estimation of our value.  A few narcissists have an inflated view of their own value but the rest of us need encouragement, day in, and day out.  Family and friends have set us back with put-downs, cautions, and apprehension. Our own interpretation of the events we've experienced and witnessed have turned into self-destructive stories we tell ourselves. We'd be kinder to a stray dog than we are to our inner child we should be loving and nurturing. So it is fitting that this live presentation challenges you to think bigger and better of yourself.  This is one of my signature presentations and as I explain through a number of stories and anecdotes that you really already ARE ten times better than you think.
