Hello everyone

I wanted to tell you a little about my professional roots: when I first spoke in front of an audience, how I started teaching it, stories like that.
Why now?

Because of the workshop for storytellers of course. This week we start the advanced course, one of the workshops in which you will learn how to tell a story. And remember, stories are not just a red riding hood. Even in a job interview, the question "Why did you leave your previous job" requires a story, and it should be convincing (Workshop for storytellers).

The workshop is part of the advanced course, and the advanced course is a lesson I learned from following students and graduates - I discovered that those who practice and speak maintain their self-confidence and skills, and those who do not speak lose them. I have also discovered that those who have neglected their skills and lost them sometimes feel that this loss is complete and that they will not be able to get them back. This is where the lesson comes in: it turns out that even a workshop or two gives people back most of the fitness they had at the end of the first course, and the four workshops of the course upgrade them even beyond (More about the advanced course for standing in front of an audience).

So come and do something for yourself this month - treat yourself to a course that is both experiential and enriching.

Article: How to get people to write when you speak?

Before Ikea burned down, I really liked visiting there. As someone who deals with conveying messages, I really like their way of making people understand complex messages. Take for example their way of making the buyer remember the details of the product in the showroom rather than picking it up in the warehouse: they simply scatter pencils and registration forms everywhere.

How does this relate to public speaking? Sometimes, it is important to us that people write down what we say - it helps them remember, it makes it permanent, it makes them take the content more seriously - there are many reasons.

My story: how I started standing in front of an audience

Let me tell you how I came to teach public speaking. They say great orators are born that way. I can't say that about myself. In school plays I always got short parts, because Orna Ayalon said I was swallowing words - no one thought to work with me on that, of course. Only at the age of 13, when I had to prepare a sermon for a Bar Mitzvah, did I get a stage for myself. 

The more I corrected the sermon, the messier it became, and the more I read and practiced it, the less fluent it became. until the end...   For the full story
