Storytelling Book Review - Insights From a Motivational Speaker

change keynote speaker motivational speaker resilience

 

When was the last time a book changed you?

Storyworthy just changed me — and I’m a little embarrassed to admit why.

I thought I knew storytelling.

Fair assumption, right?
25 years behind the documentary camera, telling other people’s stories.
Published a memoir.
10 years sharing stories from the stage.

But I didn’t know how to tell a simple story.
I thought I did.
I was wrong.

Matthew Dicks, in Storyworthy, taught me more in fewer words than I thought possible.
By page 134, he writes:

“Stop here and you’ll be better than most. Truly.”
That’s not hype. It’s truth.

Two takeaways:

  1. I was wrong.

  2. Saying “I was wrong” sets you free.

Three days in and I’m already a better storyteller.
You should try saying “I was wrong” too. It’s oddly liberating.

One more thing:
Why can’t all books be this easy to read and this useful?

I’m officially done with bloated business books.
I want to write like this — sharp, joyful, useful.

Thank you @Lisa McMaster for the nudge. You were right. I was wrong.
