Storytelling and its Persuasion power - Public Speaking 101

Why is Storytelling so powerful? And how do we use it to our advantage? Today I'm sharing key neurological findings on storytelling with the help of my own stories. The ability to tell a story can literally transform your life. It can land you a job in a crowded applicant pool, make you stand out on a first date, or be the difference between your business succeeding or failing.

You will have to tell a story in your lifetime. Be ready with these tips from a professional storyteller.

This was amazing and it really showcased David’s public speaking skills.

[hesamnajafi]

David, honestly this video as short as it is, it was a perfect life lesson, thank you ❤️

[Lucky]

Ahh yes... time to end everyone’s whole career for professional communications class today, jokes aside storytelling seems to work quite well for me so it’s great to see this video backs up why it does

[ChaimSilber]

who else is getting this feeling that this channel is blowing up right now?

[jonathan-._.-]

tldr: dont buy stuff with a great story - its overprized

[ismaelkk]

This person is a very amazing public speaker we should get david to react to him

[robertmilchis]

I love how David always considers his fans, adapts and improves. I think out of all my favorite skill is storytelling. It's wonderful skill usable in so many ways.

This is actually super cool I always knew things like the MJ jacket have more value but I never really thought of why this makes so much sense now

[giordanooujordan]

seems like it's a great format imo, David! very captivating to see someone speaking without any heavy editing, specially you

[handsonfire]

I never thought I would enjoy an unedited video as much as I have just now, amazing.

[gizellesmith]

Did professor Phillips just teach us how to be an honest conman?

[foxyflyer]

Yes I often tell stories to myself in my head. Sometimes they're even about things in imaginary worlds that have nothing to do with me. How do you know me so well David!!

[ozzyisthirsty]

God damn i think David just changed my life like fr fr thank you David you deserve so much for helping the community and motivating us

[deathlesssnek]

The editing is awesome and tends to help with the comedy bits but I felt like this video was easier to understand and learn things from.

[mickeypeters]

Seeing an unedited video is calmly and easier to follow. I always hear the information but get "distracted" by edits
This form of story telling is still keeping my attention because of the "tricks" he uses, a subscriber should easily point out which tricks! Did you find them all?

Amazing to watch would definitely like to see it more often! You are a public speaker not a editor 🤟

[NeroPop]

that was one of the best videos I've ever seen and it was literally just a person standing in front of a camera talking about story telling. You are a WIZARD

[zylnexxd]

I came across this while reading the "King of the flies" novel. I am reading it rn. Thats a strange coincidence

[MasterAlpha]

I feel that videos like these, that do not have excessive cuts or edits that try to keep my attention, allow me to enjoy more of your speaking skills

[lionbonilla]

The second and the last tipp is incredibly valuable. I can’t explain why but I feel and know it.
I will use it for educating children as well as privately. I’m very grateful that you pointed at a very common lie/story we tell ourselves and how easy you explained us how to overcome/make better use of it.
Thank you for sharing and helping others who need help. You deserve a donation.

[erichunley]

Brilliant as usual. Also when drafting your story it can lend clarity to your intentions and values.
