Why “Killing your Darlings” Is Absolutely Critical in Storytelling (Ep 29)

Would you believe that the subject matter of a great story is almost irrelevant?
What makes a story great and what can RUIN it… is all in the editing! Finding the right details in a story to capture the audience’s attention and relate to the presentation’s topic is much more important than having an action-packed story.
In this episode, Deirdre Van Nest reveals the importance of editing and why a great story is not what you leave in but what you take out.
Deirdre discusses:

The number one editing skill you need to develop when writing your speeches and stories
Two types of stories every business owner needs to be telling
How the Asset Creation Team at Crazy Good Talks helps clients create engaging and strategic business stories
Two simple ways to find the details that are distracting and not useful in a story
The first steps to take when you start developing your story
And more
