Learn how to create tension, attention and movement by identifying what's really standing in the way. Why do some presentations or conversations make you lean forward while others feel like a list of information? Often, the difference is resistance. In this week's Storyteller, we'll explore what happens when something important is trying to happen... and something is getting in the way. We'll look at how resistance creates conflict, tension and emotional stakes, and how you can use the same principle in your own communication. You'll learn how to: 🎯 Identify the real resistance standing between your audience, team, client or relationship and the outcome they want. ⚔️ Move beyond the obvious antagonist and recognize the beliefs, systems, processes and assumptions that create friction. 🔥 Create tension without exaggerating or manufacturing drama. 🧠 Challenge old thinking instead of simply attacking competitors or explaining your solution. 🎤 Make presentations, pitches and stories more compelling by showing what's actually at stake. We'll look inside: 🎬 Moneyball 🎬 Marriage Story 🎬 Steve Jobs vs BlackBerry 🎬 Brene Brown ...and other memorable examples of resistance and tension in action. Then you'll take the principle and apply it to your own presentation, pitch, workshop or story, identifying what's really stopping your audience from changing. You'll have the opportunity to share your thinking, workshop the idea and get live feedback. No storytelling experience required. Bring a presentation, pitch, workshop, story or communication problem you're working on... or simply come curious. Storyteller is part masterclass, part creative lab, part live coaching.
