    This is excellent. Telling stories is so much easier with a basic framework like this. And, like all good frameworks, this one can be adapted to tell almost any story.

    Two rules from my view watching many movies and TV shows:
    1. People must like and sympathize with the Character and their goals
    2. Introduce tension and up the stakes, which has more meaning when you do #1 correctly
    Breaking Bad, Ozarks, stranger things, etc all have these

    00:27 🎬 Dive into the action to captivate attention immediately, avoiding unnecessary context.
    01:37 🖼 Use descriptive language that engages the senses to vividly paint the setting and characters.
    02:59 ⚖ Introduce tension-internal or external-to keep the audience engaged and curious about what happens next.
    04:08 🔄 Show transformation or change that occurred, emphasizing the shift resulting from the experience.
    05:17 🔗 Connect the story to the audience's relevance, making it clear why the story matters to them and your message.

    Fabulous video and process, thank you! My only concern is that sometimes 'connect the dots/ /I share this because,' can assume that the audience don't get what they need to get, and could be patronising in the act of spelling it out, rather than leaving it for the listener to join their individual dots. What do you think?

    • @lhctraining
      @lhctraining  Рік тому +1

      Great question, Simon. I hear you about not wanting to be patronizing to your audience.
      Three ideas here:
      1) follow the principle “make the implicit, explicit.” In other words, connecting the dots at the end of the story is not oversimplifying your message to your audience. Instead, it’s pulling back the curtains to help YOU connect with the audience about the message of the story.
      2) my recommendation is that between step 4 and 5, you pause. That pause can be as long as 10 seconds. You can even ask a rhetorical question - “what can you take away from the story I just told you?” - allowing the audience a moment to draw their own conclusions. Then “connect the dots.” Your audience will lean in because they want to confirm their prediction. If you do this right, you’ll get lots of head nods from your crowd.
      3) every speaking situation is unique - if I knew more about the audience, your purpose, and the goal of your story, I could give you more specifics. Nevertheless, I recommend practicing the story with and without the connect the dots in front of a few test audiences (ie a colleague, a friend) and see what they think. It’s through practice that the frameworks we provide can be further customized to fit your specific needs.
      Hope this helps!
