When Kymberlee Weil left the stage after her first improv performance, she told her comedy troop that she wouldn’t be back and apologized. She thought she bombed because even her best friend wasn’t laughing. When the night was over, she told her husband she was retiring from improv, and that comedy performance simply wasn’t for her. Thankfully, her best friend assured her after the show that she was hilarious and she had nothing to worry about. That night, she learned an important lesson – you can’t control your audience’s face. Since then, Kymberlee has trained hundreds of TEDx speakers, improv performers, and international speakers at StorytellingSchool.com, where she teaches people how to use high-stakes, short-form storytelling to expand their influence. She’s an NCAA Woman of the Year, a 4th degree black belt, an MBA, an author of multiple books, and the founder of an award-winning software development and licensing company. Today, Kymberlee and Arwen discuss how improv can teach people how to power through failure, how the stories we tell ourselves impact who we are and who we become, and how the lessons Kymberlee learned in improv (and with her own coach) have helped her empower storytellers of all kinds. Overcomer Playlist Recommendation Eminem - Lose Yourself Pearls of Wisdom We can’t control our audience’s face or their reactions. We can always challenge ourselves to tell better stories. The more interesting the story is, the more fun it is not just to deliver it, but to hear it. Just do it, be it and don't overthink it. Make a choice and own it.

Kymberlee Weil, Strategic Samurai, and Mark Sylvester join the show to discuss the world of High-Stakes, Short-Form talks. They discuss what really makes an idea worth spreading, the power of a story, and what they have learned running High-Stakes, Short-Form speaking events in Santa Barbara. They give advice to people who may want to give a High-Stakes, Short-Form talk, share the qualities of the best speakers, and explain the importance of a unique perspective. Key Takeaways [4:55] Mark and Kymberlee met while creating a software application for speakers and attendees to use. That turned into a business, which then turned into a partnership in all forms. [5:03] “High stakes and short form talk” might be a metaphor for tackling a challenge worth diving into headfirst . [6:37] Although Mark has produced many high stakes and short form talks, he was blown away by the amount of work it really takes to put one together. For his own talk it took: 19 drafts, 3 drafts, and 2 consultants. Even knowing the innerworkings, there was so much prep. [7:50] Mark and Kymberlee tell the guests on his show to talk in tweets. [11:57] Great leaders know they can always improve, and they are never done learning. The people that choose to find the time are the ones we never forget. [14:11] Idea first. People second is one of the main mantras when they are putting together new material. Be sure you have a unique angle and perspective. You must be willing to fight for your idea no matter what. [19:04] High stakes and short form talks talks are less about a one-way sharing, and more about connecting with the audience to show authenticity and vulnerability. [25:33] Facts and figures light up two regions of your brain, while storytelling lights up seven! This even goes back to the caveman days when we had to be both storytellers and story observers. [29:02] Tips for making a high stakes and short form talk and to be a great storyteller: Open with story, land the core idea, show why it’s important, and justify why it matters now. Make it topical and timely. There are usually three lessons within a talk. Give a call to action such as a challenge or invitation. [42:40] The original high stakes and short form talk commandments 1. Be sure it’s a story you have never told before. 2. Be vulnerable. 3. Don’t try to sell us anything. [51:50] Mark and Kymberlee challenge: don’t wait to tell your story, and everyone has a story inside of them that they need to honor. How to Contact Mark & Kymberlee Mark: Website | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn Kymberlee: Website | LinkedIn | Instagram Quotes “As a leader, we are always doing high stakes communication.” “Leaders need to have an arsenal of stories.” “Start with one story and develop it.” “If you don’t have a conflict or struggle, you don’t have a story.” Additional Links: Sir Ken Robinson Hacking the Red Circle
In this special episode, recorded in September 2018 right after TEDxSantaBarbara, Mark Sylvester (me), the host of Hacking the Red Circle, is interviewed by TEDxLincoln's Randy Bretz and TEDxLaçador's Ana Goelzer. This podcast is the first time I've told my own TED story. I'm hoping it will give you a glimpse into how I think our event. Randy and Ana take a deep-dive into my motivations for producing a TEDx event here in Santa Barbara, since 2010. TEDxSantaBarbara has evolved over the years, and we've expanded into Youth, Live and in 2019, Salon events. My involvement has become more focused on the outcomes associated with a finely curated slate of speakers each year and stunning production design. We got into a great discussion about how to turn the theme influences everything starting with set design, graphic design, web design, communications strategy and most importantly the curation of the speakers. This small plate influenced the entire graphic design of the show I found in Brooklyn at TEDFest 2018. Seen on the right. For the first time, I also produced a podcast to go behind the scenes of the show, from the graphic design to selecting speakers, to talking about what it means to be a volunteer. This short-series of shows was designed specifically to bring the community closer to the core team and give them an inside look at the event. I got into a discussion about our philosophy on speaker selection, and how we brought back three of our past speakers to give the audience an update on where their idea has traveled since initially presenting it in Santa Barbara. This year we focused on the impact of ideas on our community, something I learned from several of the podcast interviews I've done with other organizers. It had a profound effect on so much of what we did. Something unique about TEDxSantaBarbara is the amount of speaker training we provide. On average, each speaker has 40+ hours of one-on-one, group and stage training from our coaching team lead by my wife and co-organizer, Kymberlee Weil. She's fine-tuned the process with her team and spends as much time as needed to be sure each speaker has everything necessary to give the talk of their lives. Randy took me on another journey into the motivation for creating this show. I spoke at length about the show has become a Master Class for me as I work on being the best organizer I can. TEDxSantaBarbara has become a laboratory for me to implement ideas I hear from these interviews. Ana wanted to know more about my journey to Red Circle and what it was like preparing for my TED talk at TEDxFargo. What a trek — shoutout to Greg Tehven, the organizer, for inviting me and creating one of the most respected TEDx events in the country. As much experience as I have with TED, it was not until I got the tap on the shoulder to walk onto the stage in front of 4,000 people that what we, as organizers, do and why we do it became instantly real to me.
Your Power Story with TEDx Speaker Coach Kymberlee Weil by Traver Boehm
Mark Sylvester and Kymberlee Weil have been bringing TEDx to Santa Barbara since 2010. They started with TEDxAmericanRiviera on 10/10/10, produced it again in 2011 then again in 2012. After a couple of years off, they produced two TEDxLive events, rebranded the local event as TEDxSantaBarbara and relaunched in 2016. Mark and Kymberlee have a great story about how they met and created a project that debuted at TED2003, which led to a software company that is still Mark's day job, in addition to podcasting. Kymberlee fell in love with helping people get their ideas out and onto the red circle and since 2010 has coached over 150 speakers, both for TEDxSantaBarbara and many TEDx events around the world. Kymberlee has been behind the microphone as well, speaking at the TEDSummit on Story Telling and in other venues around the globe. It was at the 2016 TEDSummit where Mark and Kymberlee learned that they're one of the few couples who work together to produce a TEDx event. (They'd love to meet more TEDx organizing couples at TEDfest in 2018!) One of the great things about hosting this podcast and producing an event is that we're able to share the best practices and fresh ideas we hear from others with our team, in real-time. As a result, we've added new experiences, team members and workflows to improve our event.
"They delivered the Talk of their Lives" Mark Sylvester, host of this show and Executive Producer of TEDxSantaBarbara did a quick recap with Patrick about the recent TEDx event in Santa Barbara. Note: This is the second show that Mark and Patrick have talked about TEDxSantaBarbara. The first one was several weeks before the event. This wide-ranging conversation covered a lot of ground including: -It's a 6-month effort that took a core team and 60 day-of volunteers to produce. -The importance of the User Experience on the overall planning of the event -An anecdote about the Speaker Mixer held the night before the event - you can only imagine the speaker's nerves, 12 hours before the event started -Why a Speaker Coach is so critical to the success of the event. Our coach is also the Co-Producer and wife of Mark. Kymberlee Weil from Strategic Samurai has coached over 120 talks to date. -When talking about how challenging it is to find a unique point of view on a familiar topic, Patrick gave a perfect analogy of how artists have approached singing the National Anthem. -A couple of Kymberlee's tricks for speakers are revealed. -All of the Talks are now available - Watch them here -What is the narrative arc of the event and how is that crafted by the producers -The Magic of TEDx and how it gets you thinking about topics you have not paid attention to -Why the breaks between sessions are so important -Tastes of TEDx - how artisanal snacks made the breaks even more aligned with the overall user experience -The role of Music at TEDxSantaBarbara - putting more E into our TEDx -The show ends with a discussion of how improv played an important part to a few key elements in the day. Note: Mark thanks sponsors at the beginning and end of the podcast. These are the podcast sponsors, not sponsors of TEDxSantaBarbara. You can see all of the event partners here. The invisible hand of the editor." - Patrick remarks on the importance of editing and coaching Links to the Talks, photos of Rehearsal, The Event, The 805CameraBus at the After Party and fun shots from one of our Volunteers are also on TEDxSantaBarbara's site.
