Viral Storytelling with The Story Lady, Ronda Del Boccio

EASY!

Stories connect you to people like nothing else.

But let me tell you something…come close so I can whisper in your ear…

Starting a new course, putting out a new product, launching a new book — whatever — makes me a little queasy.

Why?  Because even though I set things up to over-deliver hugely to people AND

Even though I’m an experienced teacher and storyteller and I know how to create educational materials…

It’s a  little scary putting that product out into the market.

I want it to be so incredibly helpful and valuable for you…

But let’s face it; I’m not the judge of whether something is valuable to you …YOU ARE.

Everytime I start a teleseminar, I always wonder if anyone will show up and if anyone will find it valuable.

When someone buys a book, I always hope they’ll find it useful and put it into practice, but I never know how someone will react.  She says, “I just finished reading your book,” and  hold my breath while waiting for “the verdict.”

So when I developed the League of Extraordinary Storyators, I knew what I intended and planned for it.  But as they say, the proof is in the pudding.

The proof is in the outcome.  Can someone use the 1 page storytelling formulas I created to create a powerful story on the spot, with no preparation?

I’ll tell you in a second.  I’d like you to meet someone special to me.

I met Penni Wild because we share a mentor, and what a treasure she is!@  I also love the name of her business, Real Life Magic.  Penni is an awesome, insightful woman.

Penni invested in my 4 week (6 weeks with the bonus classes) storytelling for business course.   The League of Extraordinary Storyators is a fun name for a class in which entrepreneurs, speakers, coaches, business people, visionaries and dreamers discover how to create powerful stories.

This video demonstrates how she put one of the storytelling templates I created into practice.  Keep in mind that she had never seen this formula, and she created the story “on the fly.”  Turn up your speakers, because somehow the sound didn’t stay as loud on YouTube

Penni told a great story about an event in her life and how it shaped who she is.

Having a formula really does make something easy.  These are some of the templates I created to help you tell better stories.

* The 4 E's of Storytelling.

* W.E.T. Transformational Tales

* Sense-Sational Storytelling

* The Great Storytelling Formula

This is what Walt Laurel of TAN Coaching said about Storyation:

So with that and some other written testimonials that are coming in, I say, “WHEW!  You’re getting the results I want you to get!”

I feel so happy and grateful and blessed to have all the students and affiliates in my life.  And everyone in the class will have some bonuses they don’t even know about yet.

 hee-hee-hee!  SHHHHHHHHHHHH Don’t tell them!

It has to do with ongoing story coaching and — OOPS, some of the students read the blog.  I don’t want to spill it too soon.

But anyone who joins the League by the end of August will get the same ongoing support for the rest of 2007, and this alone is worth 3 times the CURRENT investment in the class..

<sigh> I’ve probably said too much.

Oh well..I’ll spill all next week on August 8.
