Storytelling master class

#SelfDevelopment #PublicSpeaking #Storytelling

A couple of weeks ago, I had a three-hour workshop where we actually sorted out storytelling. He taught. Andrei Sokolov And he did it perfectly -- minimum theory, maximum practice. We worked in a small group and managed to do several practical exercises, among which the most interesting was the self-presentation of the participants. Each of us had to compose a mini-story about ourselves with a story from four perspectives, the first three of which are people’s opinions. (Mom, wife, friends, colleagues...)The latter is something arbitrary, such as a favorite object, a favorite place or a favorite sport. We ended up presenting these stories to each other all at once, and then sorting them out in turn. My conclusions after the exercise were as follows: Consistent stories are easier to remember Adjectives in stories are forgotten, and bright strokes on the contrary act as a hook The meaning of history may not be recognized, and the interpretation of history may be very different from it. (Think about how the audience understands the story.)

  • in the absence of time (And we had 10 minutes of making up a story) People go down a pattern path. (almost all of them were 3 points of view: parents, friends and colleagues) Self-presentation is a valuable skill and must be pumped
  • The best impromptu is a prepared impromptu:)

Overall, the exercise was definitely cool:)

Since our master class was purely practical, then after it I decided to recall the theory already studied and cite links to posts I have already written on this channel about public speaking and storytelling:
