I really appreciate all the time you spend making these videos. Not only do they help me to be a better educator, but they also keep us connected as we strive for enhanced learning through clear, concise content and connection. (How's that for alliteration!?) You really practice what you preach and we all benefit from your talent and generosity! Thanks!!
Wow, thank you! This is a tall affirmation, MaryBeth! So nice to see you in the comments 😊 I'll continue striving for "clear, concise content and connection." Let me know if you have a specific question or topic request that you'd like me to map out and film on for the upcoming month!
First and Last - wow does that make telling a story simple and less stressful. Realizing that the most important parts are the beginning and the end makes storytelling seem more doable. Question - how do you want the first and last to be structured in relation to each other?
Hmm, good question. One that I haven't necessarily been asked. I think it depends on what you want your audience to remember or how you want them to feel when you are done. Do you want to incite action? End with a laugh? Or paint the picture of a "new bliss" as Nancy Duarte calls it.
hello! for the "as it is, as it could be" tip, could you maybe provide more examples? Im haivng a hard time picturing how this might work in a day to day conversation or what telling a story where you discuss what something is vs what it could be is like
Hmm. Examples are contextual and I don't know your context...but here are two: with my 4 year old who doesn't want to put on a winter coat, I might describe walking outside in the winter without a jacket (as is) vs. the warmth, coziness and extra pockets for collecting things that he'd benefit from with the coat (as it could be). As work, I might describe an end result or impact on a customer who receives amazing customer service vs. without it. Not sure if that helps...
Pumped you liked it! I'll be leading a session with some of this content to a group of faculty at a university next week actually. Your comment reminded me of my own video here haha. Thanks André! Cheers.
That is great info but what if you don't know you will be sharing a story until you're in the middle of a conversation. How would one become that deliberate in what they want to share?
Sometimes the best stories are the once that just come to you. Most good stories inherently have that "world as it is" vs. "world as it could be" built into them too. As for "knowing" the first sentence and the last sentence. Sometimes speaking ANY sentence really genuinely and authentically makes up for a perfect "scripted" beginning or end. Hope that is helpful, Tina.
i just came here to tell you to stop making thumbnails with your mouth hanging open. The slight boost in views aren't worth it and no matter how long you hold your trap open, it's not going to pay your bills. wrong site for that sort of thing anyway.

Found your channel by chance. I must say, your creativity truly stands out. Thank you for producing such amazing videos!
Hey Aya, welcome to the channel! Glad to be connected.

Another awesome video filled with useable tips. Thanks, Chad!
From people wiser than me 😊
Love this Chad. I learn so much from you. Thanks!
Thanks, Ellen! Back at you. Was a joy being on your podcast a few weeks ago!
Great tips.. Thank you
You're welcome! Glad this video arrived at the right time for you 👍👍

This video is misleading . Guy who had a glass eye told a story about his childhood and that makes him a good storytelling person? No
Not sure the one mention of this anecdote is a fair summary of the entire video haha.

🤣< do emoji mouths being open count too?
