Movement leaders tell stories and they tell them well. Jesus was a master storyteller.
Here’s a clip of Ira Glass on how to tell a story. Very simple, very effective.
Head over to PresentationZen if you’d like a text outline of Ira’s tips.
Ira has three more clips on story telling. Apply the principles to the next time you have to write/preach/teach/speak.
Here they are:
Very interesting and helpful! I’ve recently done some interviews with folk who go to our church and put them on our church website. It’s amazing the stories people tell if you just ask them.
Steve—very good stuff. Thanks for posting.
Blessings
Thanks Stephen. I’ve just watched the Ira Glass clips again. They’ great. Well done on you interviews you put together: http://www.rehope.co.uk
Hi Steve, (and welcome back to OZ!)
Those clips were very helpful. I had to give a speech at a function for the farewell of a CEO last weekend, and I employed the principles of Ira Glass in preparing the speech. It was very helpful and Jayne tells me the speech came across very well! Thanks. Tim
