Speak Up Storytelling


Apr 16, 2020

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. 

STORYTELLING SHOWS 2020

STORYTELLING WORKSHOPS 2020

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:

  1. Expressing big ideas in tiny moments

  2. Strategies for telling stories from childhood

  3. Process language 

  4. The "less is more" nature of description and details

  5. 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.
