In this shorter, monologue episode, we learn from storytellers like Kazuo Ishiguro and Ira Glass just what it takes to speak and write in ways that instill the urge to act in others. Why would anyone pick you or stick with you? Why would they refer you to their peers or friends? What makes something truly resonate beyond simply holding your attention?

After all, our jobs as communicators and storytellers isn't to "get in front of" them. It's to ensure they care.

In this episode, you'll learn a simple but powerful technique to speak and write with greater impact.
