- Storytelling is an essential leadership skill. It will enable you to be more influential and persuasive and less technical and boring. It will set you apart and make you and your ideas memorable.
Doug Stevenson is a former actor who has brought lessons from the theater and great storytelling to the corporate world. He has translated these techniques into what he calls The Story Theater Method for Strategic Storytelling in Business. While he has no intention of making you into a great actor, he does want to make you a “star”.
In this interactive session, Doug will model effective business storytelling and show you how to apply his storytelling technology to your role in Google. He’ll even coach a few people on their stories to illustrate how you can be a better storyteller. If you want to be more engaging, interesting and convincing, Doug Stevenson will show you how. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I have been gratefully taking Doug’s amazing free “class” on his podcast and he recommended we come here to watch this. I was blown away at how differently I absorbed the stories when listening on podcast with my brain making up the scenery vs watching where I was captivated by the acting in 3D that I didn’t imagine he was doing during storytelling. It’s a great demonstration of how to be a captivating speaker and I’m looking forward to putting all this into action.
I cannot believe I am watching this video recently about Doug Stevenson. He is awesome presenter and storyteller.
I could hardly imagine more challenging audience for a talk about the Magic of Story, then the Google Geeks over their launch break. Yet during less then an hour Doug has proved that the Magic of Story may persuade even those , who seems to be naturally story-proof. Great presentation! Thank you!!!
This guy is funny....and his audience on some calming meds. 😆
Great presentation.
I love the way Doug Stevenson uses the story of Google in his opening segment to show the power of the story itself. How the Google founders had to sell their STORY (not their business plan) to the original investors. This is a fantastic talk by someone I consider to be America's premier storytelling instructor.
This is hands down one of the best talks I've seen around using story in business. I really enjoyed the personalized stories Doug shared to drive the points home. Thank you!
This is one of the most amazing "Talks at Google" I have seen so far.
It is so rare, that the author of a book is also living his own story so well. Just once I faded away from the talk, apart from that it was easy to stay focused on the talk without any effort whatsoever.
Thanks Doug for this inspiring talk.
Great Dough, thanks for the reminder to be human while we talk to humans.
Single most important video on YT
As you say, stories are the fast lane to the brain. Thanks Doug!
That “lady” is on every single airplane.
Great mind might God bless your soul, amazing speech priceless.Now ,i have more clear and deep ideia about "how to persuade people" most specifically how to make people follow you, thanks a lot, big hug
Doug thank you so much for your generosity with your time! I really appreciate it.
I'm tuched by this presentation, it talkes to me. Thankes for sharing.
Stepping into and out of the story is an excellent technique!
Doug educates and tells the story of Google as an example.
Absolutely amazing and useful communication tool and strategies.
Thank you.
Thanks Doug for your brilliant lesson!
Awesome talk loved every bit of it. Does anyone have the handout? couldn't find it on the internet
Thanks for this Doug, it's wonderful to see such a pro in action. Top takeways:
1. It's great to see true immersive embodiment of your stories. A wonderful reminder to bring back in my improv skills.
2. I like the way you built the Limo story and how you deconstructed it from so many different angles with the attendees, showing them how they were all in it. Great presentation.
Learned a lot 🙏🏼
Look for limo!
Very nice
Learnt something!
So very well done!
Learned so much. Thank You.
doug stevenson the power to persuade the magic of story talks google castel
great story telling methods to engage your audience
I'd love to hear from you with your two top takeaways. Comment below. Thanks.
Top two: Story is more powerful when it's true and about you. Third "lagniappe" takeaway: it's okay to embellish to make your point. I enjoyed your talk so much that while I was taking notes, I decided to post my key takeaways through SlideShare in hopes that folks would tune in to your tips and break out of the content coma mold. www.slideshare.net/cdupre/stories-areseriousbusinesdougstevensonslidesharec-dupre
Thank you!
Great stuff!
1) Don't describe the emotion show the emotion
2) look for stories by starting with meaning or point and do a google search in your mind with a specific time
+Doug Stevenson 1. Iceberg in your story, 2. You have to be memorable
The importance of emotional connection
1. Be a good actor.
2. Be funny.
Great presentation
An excellent talk!
Great talk, is there some reason why stories of 3 to 6 minutes works better?
There is no specific amount of time, but it takes a few minutes to really engage the audience in the imagery and details of the story. The magic is in the details. Paint pictures. That takes some time.
How do I tell my story? It's a long long story
Woohoo thanks
Wow
11:20 How to craft a story
The speaker emphasizes the phase "look for the limo", what does it mean ? I'm not native English speaker.
It isn't something we say if that's what you mean, he essentially made it up in this story as a phrase. So his meaning of look for the limo is look for the good things in life when there is bad times. A limo=limousine

Think of the point first

So far, it's been 17 minutes and he said nothing.
Let me save you an hour. A presentation by a washed up out of work actor. No psychology qualifications. Waffles for an hour on stories. Completely useless.
no psychology needed. this is a lesson on creativity.
