Techstars IE Startup Week 2018

When is the last time you met someone and vividly remembered a fact about their life? How about the last time you played an icebreaker game, do you remember what the person on your left said? We are bombarded with facts every second of every day. Out of necessity, we have to filter 99% of it out to function. Now can you instantly name someone’s story that has impacted you deeply? Much easier to recall, right? Stories have a way of sticking to us. A truly captivating story becomes part of us. A gripping story can help us navigate through all of our life’s ups and downs. Today it is more important than ever to embrace “telling your own story”. You are your own brand whether you a middle manager, clerk or founder of a billion dollar empire. Your customers, co-workers, investors, mentors, and mentees need to hear YOUR STORY.

Chris uses humor through storytelling to take you on the adventure of being comfortable in your own story. He uses visualization, effective principles for practicing speaking skills, fun games you play while alone to improve quick-wittedness, and strategies to overcome this fear once and for all. He guides you on how to begin to flush out your own story and why it matters so much. He helps you pinpoint what makes your story so valuable and how it can bring you success in various areas of your life. For all who attend this keynote or breakout session the emotions will be flowing; laughter, fear, encouragement, and confidence. You will leave with actionable steps to boldly and confidently tell YOUR story!
