Summary : Welcome to my book about how to turn your story into a powerful presentation throughout the chapters of your WorkLife Story. Here is a preview of what’s inside, along with the main ideas and the meaning behind these. WorkLife is our life at work, where we spend one third of our lives. It is also the impact our work has on our life outside of work, and the impact our life outside of work has on our work. All areas of our life in and out of work are so intrinsically linked, they cannot be separated, nor do I believe should they. I believe WorkLife needs to be considered holistically. Truly great stories and presentations live on in the hearts and minds of audiences the world over. That’s a fact. Everyone has an innate storytelling ability, that’s another fact. You just need to think about a time when you were with friends (or strangers!) in a bar or other social setting to know that you’re a natural born storyteller. Why is that? Because when you’re in a friendly setting, you can be yourself, and you’ll use really direct language (no jargon) to make sure what you say is engaging. These experiences show that we all have that innate sense of what makes a good story, but we tend to forget that a great presentation is simply a great story and we can also at times struggle to express our natural and true self. In this book I tell three stories: 1. Turning My Story into a Powerful Presentation: Carmel’s story of how by looking at what was important to her in her WorkLife, she was able to use this to prepare a pitch for something she wanted to achieve. 2. Hello My Name Is ... and I’m a Recovering Boring Person: Doris’s story of how she lightened up her presentations by adding a touch of funny. 3. Everything Is Riding on This... We’re Relying on You: Matt’s story of how he went from a man of few words to a man who was asked to deliver the keynote presentation pitch. I share the exercises that helped to work through these challenging situations to resolve the dilemmas. I present these exercises as the following assignments for you to work through: Five Steps to Finding Your Unique Story Assignment This assignment is to help you to find your story from what is important to you. Develop a Practice of Regular Self-Feedback Assignment This assignment is to help you to listen to yourself and to your story. Develop a Practice of Insightful and Effective Self-Questioning Assignment This assignment is to help you to think upon the questions that are important in storytelling and presentations. Twelve Techniques to Add Humour to Your Story in Presentation Assignment This assignment is to help you to bring the funny to your presentations. Five Steps to Prepare Your Talk Assignment This assignment is to help you to build your talk around an intriguing idea.
