The power of storytelling
Finally, just a little note on bringing your story to life through the spoken word.
We’ve all been drawn in by a story told so well it felt like we were part of it – that’s the power of spoken storytelling.
More than just conveying information, once you’re able to tell your story verbally, you can create an emotional connection, engage your audience, and paint vivid pictures with your words. It’s this unique blend of elements that makes your story not just heard, but felt.

Stop and Reflect:
- How naturally does your story slot into the Hero’s Journey framework?
- Does the story feel like a cohesive whole? Do the parts smoothly flow into each other?
- What have you discovered about yourself in the process of crafting your story?
