Everyone has a story to tell, something that sets them apart from everyone else. During this week we watched ted talks that taught me that in order to keep an audience's attention you not only have to tell one good story but two stories help to keep the audience's attention. Another piece of advice that the videos taught me was that you cannot give the audience all of the information, you have to sprinkle clues so that they can come to the conclusion on their own. These ideas helped me because I personally don't feel as though I am a strong storyteller. Half way through the story I feel as though I get tired of telling the story and my audience gets bored. I am using these tips from the experts in the ted talks that we watched to improve on my storytelling because I think I have interesting stories to tell. Most of the week was set aside to write a story that brought us to a belief that we have, at first this idea made me uncomfortable because I like to keep my thought and beliefs to myself. I have seen many times people get angry with each other because they have conflicting beliefs and I, although did not share a controversial belief do not want to offend anyone. I also had a hard time matching a story to the beliefs that I do have. I was able to see how your personal experiences really do impact your beliefs. http://www.quietrev.com/how-to-tell-your-own-life-story/
