Speak Up Storytelling: Lael Lloyd

On episode #85 of the Speak Up Storytelling podcast, Elysha and I talk storytelling!

In our follow up segment, we discuss some Homework for Life feedback from listeners and clients, talk about our new Patreon account, and share about upcoming events in the Speak Up realm. 

In our Homework for Life segment, I talk about a moment on my spreadsheet that did not require human interaction, and then I outline the story for the audience. 

Next we listen to a story by Lael Lloyd.  

Amongst the many things we discuss include:

  1. Pacing

  2. Holding back information to propel a story forward

  3. Painting a clear picture in the audience's mind by using fewer words.

  4. Transition that cut into scenes

  5. Specificity and clarity at the end of stories

Next we answer questions about Elysha's favorite story and how to record anecdotes for future use.  

Lastly, we each offer a recommendation.
