“Because StoryPower is a read/ write tool, your story selection and story crafting must become audience-centric. If every story you tell to make a point only focuses on your past tragedies, you will not empower your audience to enjoy the same victories you did. You must select and craft stories which invite them to invest in a better future.” J Loren Norris REIMAGINE YOUR STORY AS AUDIENCE-CENTRIC
“Because StoryPower is a read/ write tool, your story selection and story crafting must become audience-centric. If every story you tell to make a point only focuses on your past tragedies, you will not empower your audience to enjoy the same victories you did. You must select and craft stories which invite them to invest in a better future.” J Loren Norris STORYPOWER AS A “READ TOOL” Stories are a powerful way to recall, recount and reveal historic events. The more the story fits to real life, the more believable, the more it involves emotional attachment the more the memories come alive. If you have ever listened to someone recount the events of their life and seen them tear up, or laugh out loud along the way, chances are they are reliving the event as they tell it. There is nothing more powerful for transferring the emotions and creating a memorable event than being present in the story as you tell it. The power to resonate and connect with your audience is deep and wide when they get to experience the event with you through the emotional journey. Now that you have them connected with you, take them somewhere worth going. STORYPOWER AS A “WRITE TOOL” It’s a powerful thing to “latch on” to an audience and have them shadowing you on a journey through your recalled and recounted emotions. Its a whole new level of influence and responsibility to point them in the direction of a new emotion all their own and send them on their way. Selecting and crafting stories where the call to action offers significant transformation, demands an emotional investment and extraordinary commitment. Presenting stories which offer this level of transformation will take its toll on the presenter long before it makes an impact on the hearer. Consider how much water is required to make almond butter; not in the process of manufacturing the butter, but in the growing of the almond. If you are not willing to invest the emotional work necessary to craft stories with layers of emotional triggers and definitive action, you are not ready to transform lives. If you are willing to make the sacrifice, not to merely entertain, but to radically transform, it is possible to craft stories which make societal level paradigm shifts in the mindset. STORYPOWER IS AUDIENCE-CENTRIC Training leaders, managers and communicators to master the art of #storypower is akin to training a mental martial artist. This process goes way beyond stage presentation skills, storytelling skills, story crafting skills or public speaking. The craft of StoryPower requires emotional intelligence, genuine compassion, a vision for a better future and a commitment to sacrifice selflessly to a specific outcome. The application of artful vagary, heightened emotional awareness, intense listening skills, reframing of past events and future expectations are all required to master StoryPower. But the greatest requirement is the desire to move beyond the need of the story teller to be heard and into the desire of the audience to be changed, even when they are unaware that they desire change or even are ready to accept it.

Insuperable Vision Workshop - Audio Download with worksheets Day after day I meet people who are struggling just to make ends meet. They are adrift in this vast sea of humanity holding on to their job, their family, their home, and their car with all they've got. They see their life experiences and education as the last hope to find their purpose and identity. They gather, fill and stuff all the money they can into every opportune investment. Yet they are empty, frustrated, angry and just plain fed up. We have all experienced that moment; when we find yourself stuck in traffic, yelling at random strangers to do what they wish they could... but can't... GO! The idea that life can be better than it is today is like the flame of a candle fighting for all its worth to stand against the tempest. We all want a better life. Even when life is good, we want more. That idea, that flame, is the hope that lives in the hearts and minds of all of us. Should that flame be extinguished, hope itself may well go with it. It is the rut of hopelessness that traps many would be shining stars and buries that glow from the sight of the world. It is the rut of hopelessness that extinguishes that flame. Lives that would have been a beacon to the wandering are lost at sea themselves. Inspirations of success that would have been the voices crying out to all who suffer are hidden away in their own stale lives, they cannot share who they are or what the world needs from them. It is my passion to help you find your purpose. I want to see you become successful, but more than that to be free! Without vision people perish. Without vision, we seem to be lost, mind numb robots following the herd into the abyss that is everyday life. We do not live intentionally without a vision for our future. We do not live passionately without a vision for our future. We do not live productively without a vision for our future. We certainly cannot lead without a vision for our future and a vision for the future of those we lead. This audio course will inspire and instruct you to create a vision which will become a significant driving force in your life. Author
