As Scott Berkun articulated “great public speaking comes from great private thinking”. Before we delve into the individual components of the “technical” such as body language, speechcraft essentials, use of humour, interpersonal communication know-how; it is imperative that we prime ourselves first with the right mindset strategies so that we can apply those “technicals” in the long term with enhanced efficiency, effectively and consistency.
 
On top of sharing with you the mindset strategies to effective speaking; Darren believes in sharing with the audience members his story-telling blueprint to “sell” the message within. Indeed, as the saying goes “facts tell; stories sell”. Yet, what most trainers don’t tell you is that “not all stories are created equal”. Your stories can only sell if you narrate them well. Learn from Darren his story-telling blueprint:
 
-using twittable speech messages
-the four pillars of effective story messages
-passing the “universal” litmus test
-low-lying fruit theorem
-dialogue instead of narration
-the story curve
