Turning Up-Standing Up-Speaking Up: Your Story.
Attention: Coaches, Consultants, Business Owners and Performers…Join me on my Facebook Page
Storytelling is about telling your story before somebody else tells it for you!
A stage for coaches, consultants, business owners and performers to use storytelling so that they can educate and entertain a live audience on stage or by camera, in a unique environment for the spoken word.
1: Storytelling is about: ‘Turn Up - Stand Up - Speak Up’.
Turn Up means exactly that. Do not just be at the event. Be at the event for a purpose and make that purpose is to be memorable.
One of my daughters has had a roller coaster of a life over 39 years and has stories to be told, but her latest is among the most interesting.
England has not been a happy place for her since her mother and I split up in 1999. That event had a profound effect on her and led to a life where stability was impossible. Her life went off the rails.
In January this year, I contacted a business leader I’d contacted through networking, and described my daughter’s desire to go to Egypt, a country she had dreamed about since the age of eight.
Thanks to that connection, my daughter took the leap of faith, along with a bucket load of determination and the experience of jumping into the deep end, to fly to Egypt and spend a few weeks with my friend, where she was introduced to the sights and sounds of the places she’d always wanted to see and experience.
During those three weeks, she carried out my blueprint naturally.
She Turned Up
Not only turning up to the airport and to my friend’s home in Egypt, but also to a university where she applied for a position teaching English as a foreign language. She Spoke Up at a local travel agent’s, where she offered her skills as a social media creator, and a “chaperone” to clients who booked tours into the Egyptian desert (she speaks passable Arabic, so can translate for the visitors).
She Stood Up.
Over the 25 years since the break up of our relationship, my daughter has ploughed her own path and, I can say, followed her own star. A star she can now experience under a sky where only the Moon and stars provide light, (unless the Bedouin provide the evening entertainment).
Her future will, perhaps, be as circuitous as her past, but for now, she is in her happiest place simply by being able to Turn Up-Stand Up-Speak Up.
Stand Up: Answer these three questions:
Comment:
- Do you have the confidence to enter a room of strangers and make an Impact?
- Do you have a second language you could turn to as another string to your bow in business?
- When was the last time you jumped into the unknown and trusted yourself?
