So You Think You Want to Become a Storyteller… Amplifying Your Expansion

Storytelling School

It's 2015, and I've just started training in Improvisational comedy. Every Wednesday night, I attend Alan Irwin's Improv classes at Santa Barbara Improv. Weeks turn into months, and my fondness for Improv grows into an addiction. I want to learn more, absorb more, and grow faster!  So I start keeping a notebook of all the games we play and capturing all the critical class lessons and sound bites. I even stay after to ask for notes on my performance. Yet, I still crave more and want to accelerate my learning beyond the pacing of one class a week. I ask Alan for private coaching and, while he doesn't do it very often, he agrees.  Those one-on-one sessions are a game changer for me. They help deepen my understanding of the craft of Improv and allow me to significantly expand my knowledge. Thanks to his feedback from just a few of these private lessons, I end up at a completely different level. So many of us want to accelerate our growth, amplify our learning, and expand our skills fast. How do we do that as speakers and storytellers?  In this continuation of our “So You Think You Want to Become a Storyteller” series on the Storytelling School Podcast, you'll learn where to start, how to accelerate your learning and grow with your audience, and how to keep track of your progression as you amplify the expansion of your speaking craft. I'll answer questions like: How do you personalize your development plan to become a master storyteller or speaker? How can you accelerate your success and make stories more engaging and memorable? How can you leverage digital platforms, networking, and collaborations to become more visible and expand your reach? How can you get more opportunities to practice storytelling and teach your expertise? And how do you integrate continuous learning into a busy schedule? What you will learn in this episode: How to come up with a development plan for mastering storytelling How you can use your audience to help you accelerate your growth What to look for to assess your storytelling and speaking progress over time A little about me: Hi there. I'm Kymberlee. As a Speaking Strategist and founder of Storytelling School, I've had the pleasure of working with over 500 speakers, business leaders, and entrepreneurs worldwide for over a decade. No matter if those folks were getting ready to take the TED or TEDx stage or preparing for a high-stakes presentation with everything on the line, my specialty is High Stakes Short Form Communication. I've seen what works when influencing change and what doesn't. It turns out storytelling is one of the most powerful tools you can have in your arsenal. That's why I'm building a movement of master storytellers to affect change in the world on a global scale to help people tell real stories that have influence and impact. With effective storytelling, you change people's lives. Since competition for potential client attention is fierce, a story can make the difference between being memorable or irrelevant. You'll find me sharing my matcha tea mishap to discuss perfectionism, my quest for Bruce Lee and Hello Kitty art to explore kindness, or the six months of live blade training I underwent to illustrate presence. I spend my days showing the power of using stories to help cement ideas and bring lessons to life and teach my clients to do the same. If you think business owners can't tell stories or don't have stories to share with their clients, staff, donors, followers, or investors, I invite you to reconsider your perspective. There's no better place than in business to tell your stories so audiences, no matter how big or small, can understand how you think and what you value. Now it's your turn... If you're ready to become a master storyteller and effect change in our world, you've come to the right place.

Statistics rule the world. Debates and decisions on major problems are often based on percentages, figures and numbers. But how much do we actually understand and know about the numbers we base our decisions on? Why do we find numbers so important when they often fail to resolve issues?

It's 2015, and I'm ready to take the next leap. I've been working with speakers one-on-one for a while and want to try my hand at hosting my own event. Except, I've never done this before, and if I do it… will anyone even come to it? How long should it be? What content should I cover? And what about the whole performance aspect of speaking? These are the questions going through my mind when I realize that I need to ask my Improv mentor, Alan Irwin, to join me in co-hosting this event. So I reach out to him: “Hey, Alan. Want to play? This is what I'm thinking. What do you think?" He loves the idea and soon we're planning all the details for our dream speaker power event on napkins and stickie notes.  On June 12th 2015, we host our very first live event and haven't stopped since. And today, I've invited my event co-hosting partner in crime back on the Storytelling School Podcast. He and I have gained many insights and fielded many questions after years of running these events.  So in this episode, we talk about how these workshops help you, as a speaker or storyteller, effectively express your message to an audience. We touch on developing and refining your ideas on your terms, including humor in your speech, and overcoming fear related to public speaking by answering questions like: How can you effectively dig deep into exploring the ideas and stories you want to share with an audience? What's the formula for adding humor to your Talk, and how does humor benefit you as the speaker or storyteller? How can you work on the fear you feel when telling a story or sharing your ideas in a presentation? And how does Improv influence you as a communicator or storyteller? What you will learn in this episode: How immersion helps you embody your stories and ideas What approach to take if you want to incorporate humor into your speech How to take on a character when you're afraid of giving a Talk or sharing your story Who is Alan? Storytelling has played a role in both of Alan Irwin's careers in different ways. He recently retired from a career spent in the infrared industry as a senior software engineer by day. However, he stumbled into Improvisational Comedy in his 30s and by night has performed it for over 30 years, while also spending most of that time teaching Improv. Improvisation has transformed Alan's teaching. His secret weapon lies in his penchant for making complex subjects accessible and fun. It has served him well worldwide in speaking engagements on a wide range of other topics, from robotics to crisis intervention (including suicide prevention). He's taken on the task of communicating very complex ideas to others in tech (and his interests, like geek culture and cheesemaking).

It's my first ever Improv class and because I'm so nervous, I don't want to be there by myself. So I have my husband Mark sitting next to me after I've (ahem) tricked him into coming. Our teacher Alan Irwin starts the intro, and I listen as he goes through the basic rules. But I'm thinking, “Hang on. Isn't Improv comedy supposed to be made up on the spot? You're not supposed to have rules in your head the whole time!” All of this is just making me even more nervous. So I approach Alan after class and he says, “Kymberlee, these rules are there to give us a foundation. In Improv, we need a common language as we train. Then from there, we can play with it and bring our own style to the stage.” A few classes later, after I get some training under my belt, I realize Alan's right. With any new skill, you have to learn the fundamentals. Once you have those, you can make the skill your own. That's what we're doing today in the first episode of a new series I call, “So You Think You Want to Become a Storyteller…” And we're turning the tables a little bit, as I'm the one in the Hot Seat. I've invited my husband (no tricks this time) to take over interviewing duties.  In this episode, I look at a foundational question people ask me all the time: Where do I start if I want to become a storyteller? To help me answer this, we cover why stories work, whether stories can be made up, what being “story curious” means, why people feel resistance when telling their stories, where you can tell stories, and how I always have a story ready to tell. What you will learn in this episode: How stories help you build trust and rapport fast What it means to purposefully tell stories and be a story detective How to get better at storytelling and overcome the fear of telling your stories  A little about me: Hi there. I'm Kymberlee. As a Speaking Strategist and founder of Storytelling School, I've had the pleasure of working with over 500 speakers, business leaders, and entrepreneurs worldwide for over a decade.

We dive deep into characters, discover how else improv can influence and enhance our storytelling ability and learn how Alan prepared himself to give compelling technical talks. Along the way, we discuss some of the lessons I've picked up from him during my improv journey and we enjoy a squeaky bunny impression or two. What you will learn in this episode: Why it's critical that you prepare, don't plan What learning about character can give you How to use objects to tell interesting stories Who's Alan? Storytelling has played a role in both of Alan Irwin's careers in different ways. He recently retired from a career spent in the infrared industry as a senior software engineer by day. However, he stumbled into improvisational comedy in his 30s and by night has performed it for over 30 years, while also spending most of that time teaching improv.

What is improv, really, and why is it a challenging yet rewarding form of storytelling? What elements of structure does Alan keep in mind when performing? How did he use characters to help speakers in his workshops stretch their limits? What was the most challenging thing for him to understand when speaking to others in his technical field?
