The Speaking Club: Mastering the Art of Public Speaking Thrutopia - The New Storytelling Genre with the Power to Change Everything with Manda Scott - 258
As speakers we are using stories to affect our audience. At the bare minimum a story will entertain. When you begin to infuse the story with emotions, fears and desires that your audience shares then it becomes engaging at the next level.
But if we truly want our audience to shift into action then our stories must show transformation, and this is the type of story that I teach speakers to use in their talks.
When I heard about Manda Scott’s new take on transformational storytelling for writers, I wanted to get her on the show to find out more.
Manda has had an interesting journey from veterinary surgeon, to best-selling novelist, to founder of the ‘Accidental Gods’ movement and podcast, and the Thrutopian genre of writing.
Her own story is fascinating and she shares some experiences she has had that you might find challenging, because they feel so far removed from ‘convention’.
There is so much value and importance in what she shares, and if you want to effect real change as a speaker, then this show is for you.
Enjoy!
What you’ll discover:
- Why we are not fixed to one path or purpose and how Manda discovered each new chapter of her life.
