On episode #94 of the Speak Up Storytelling podcast, Matthew and Elysha Dicks talk storytelling!
In our follow up segment, we share a listener’s tip on digital whiteboards and discuss upcoming online events.
In our Homework for Life segment, I talk about working through a moment, seeking as many possible meanings as possible before settling on a story.
Next we listen to a story by Lisa Ferguson.
Amongst the many things we discuss include:
- Expressing big ideas in tiny moments
- Strategies for telling stories from childhood
- Process language
- The “less is more” nature of description and details
- Launching a story with stakes
Next Elysha answers a question about being married to Matt and a question about telling stories when specific moments are seemingly absent from the story.
Lastly, we each offer a recommendation.
