Und noch ein Interview mit einem amerikanischen Speaker-Star, das ich im Rahmen der GSA-Convention geführt habe. Achtung, es wird wieder international (Folge auf englisch)! Kelly Swanson ist Autorin und Theaterkünstlerin und hat mich auf der NSA-Convention mit ihren Erkenntnissen und Erfahrungen in Sachen Motivation und Storytelling beeindruckt. Hier sind drei der wichtigsten Punkte, über die wir in dieser Folge sprechen: 1. Verkaufsgespräche mit Geschichten bereichern: Wenn es darum geht, Kunden zu gewinnen, kann es sehr effektiv sein, Geschichten in Verkaufsgespräche einzubauen. Indem wir Kunden Erfahrungen und Erfolge veranschaulichen, können wir eine persönliche Bindung aufbauen und Vertrauen schaffen. Ein "Warum"-Geschichte, die erklärt, warum wir diesen Job machen, kann besonders wirkungsvoll sein. 2. Geschichten machen Daten persönlich und emotional: Anstatt einfach nur Informationen zu präsentieren, sollten wir sie in Geschichten verpacken. Geschichten ermöglichen es, Daten auf eine Weise zu präsentieren, die unsere Zuhörer*innen persönlich berührt. Eine Datenflut kann überwältigend sein und keine Verbindung schaffen, aber durch Geschichten können wir eine emotionale Bindung herstellen. 3. Es gibt keinen vorgeschriebenen Weg: Jeder von uns hat seine eigene Art und Weise, Geschichten zu erzählen. Es gibt keinen "richtigen" oder "falschen" Stil. Wir sollten uns ermutigen lassen, unsere Kreativität auszuleben und einzigartig zu sein. Indem wir uns authentisch ausdrücken, können wir andere beeindrucken und unsere Botschaften effektiv vermitteln. Insgesamt war die Unterhaltung mit Kelly Swanson inspirierend und abwechslungsreich. Lasst uns weiterhin beeindrucken und inspiriert sein!

Fiber plays a crucial role in pet nutrition. Adding fiber to pet food is a must for keeping them healthy and helping their bodies work well. It's not just about proteins and fats, fiber emerges as a pivotal component deserving the spotlight. In this episode, we're excited to have Dr. Kelly Swanson from the University of Illinois. Dr. Swanson delves into the complexities of dietary fiber in pet food, considering different species, life stages, and important factors. He also walks us through the shift from the traditional 'crude fiber' measurement to the more accurate 'Total Dietary Fiber', giving us a better understanding of how to assess fiber content in pet food."Fiber is indeed our friend.

In this episode, we discuss the following: Kelly believes that leadership is not limited to a specific position but can be anyone with moments of influence. This perspective highlights that anyone can make a positive impact through their actions and words. The healing power of storytelling: Kelly initially wrote and shared her stories without realizing their profound impact on healing and creating emotional connections with others. Her personal experiences and wacky wit helped her forge deep connections with her audience. Her childhood experience of being bullied led her to seek solace in books and stories. This early connection with storytelling significantly shaped her career as a storyteller, comedian, and motivational speaker. Kelly discovered her passion for storytelling while attending a writing class in college. This discovery led her to visit different schools to share stories with children. Joining the National Speakers Association (NSA) and building a network of speakers further propelled her career and opened doors for new opportunities. Join the laughter-filled journey with Kelly Swanson and learn how to "story" your way to success because when it comes to connection and engagement, she's got the perfect "plot" twist for you!

If you're not telling the story, they are… This week, on the Vibrant Leadership Podcast, we speak with award-winning storyteller Kelly Swanson about the power of intentional stories and how leaders can tap into that power when trying to influence, motivate, and introduce change to their audience. Kelly is a mentor, author, comedian, and motivational speaker with over 20 years of experience working with people to shape their stories into instruments of persuasion. She has studied the science behind persuasive stories and has translated that knowledge from stories simply for entertainment purposes into tools for the business world.Stories can move people, build trust, bring experiences to life, allow the listener to see change possibilities before they happen, and impact business. Whether trying to close a sale with potential buyers, landing a new client, or motivating current employees, Kelly's insights into storytelling help people create a personal connection, make an emotional investment, and shape a vision they will want to buy into.On this week's episode, Kelly shares real-life examples of how she's seen stories impact both large audiences and single customers. She also breaks down the following key concepts into actionable steps: The two types of stories for leaders and business professionals The story formula to highlight the value of what you do Change management stories and the questions they need to answer And more Since the beginning of time, stories have been used to influence people in ways no other communication style can. This conversation is a must-listen for all leaders who want to get beyond the data and tell stories that will change people. Let's get started!

Stories that warm your heart like walking into a Cracker Barrel, or enjoying a good Hallmark movie. To stay in touch, become a patron of the show, or get your own key to the city!https://www.Patreon.com/kellyswansonPrides Hollow is full of southern stories that will amuse, entertain, and leave you with an inspirational message. In this first episode, Harriet, a color-between-the-lines kind of lady, does something that most people would have thought was crazy.You see, Harriet lives in the house down the road, with the grey shutters. She's worn her hair in the same tight bun for what seems like forever, and both her and her husband, Harold, always lived on the safe side of life. That all changed when Harold died. You would expect that the challenge from Old Man Withers would bypass Harriet completely. But these southern stories are full of people who take a chance. That’s part of what this inspirational message is about.When Harriet heard the mailman recite the challenge, her heart jumped up right away. She knew exactly what she would do if she was brave. She wanted to drive the Buick her and Harold owned. Only problem was, she had never learned to drive. That didn’t stop her. With her neighbor Noreen as her impromptu coach, the pair took Harold’s ashes and drove off in search of a place to scatter them.This is one of those southern stories that’s full of seemingly ordinary folks, whose actions end up surprising everyone. The story finishes with an inspirational message from Kelly, about the importance of doing something brave, even if it doesn't seem to make any sense.If you enjoyed this first episode, be sure to catch the next one, which will air in two weeks, on Wednesday 9pm EST. Kelly will be there to chat in the community thread!

The major challenge any speaker faces is not diction or content, but the ability to connect with the audience. Using humor in storytelling engages their emotions and allows them to relate with everything you say. Elizabeth Bachman is joined by award-winning speaker and story teller Kelly Swanson. They discuss how every compelling presentation must take advantage of stories that make people laugh and keep them glued to what you have to say. They also go deep into what makes a person authentically funny and why having a speaker trainer give you informed feedback is a great strategy for improving your presentations.
