Storytelling is simply awesome. I am going to share several posts in video, audio and text on storytelling. Feel free to add your comments.

This post will feature a short video by Scott Simon. What do you think? Do you agree or disagree?

I Have Not Posted To This Site In So Long That Porn Stars Are Posting Comments To It

Now, the opening title of this post probably made you want to know what I was talking about. Or, it made you quickly click away thinking that I might be going in a direction you did not want to follow.

The reality is that it is a great opening for a story and the beginning of your presentation. Why? Well consider the following:

It is a true statement so I can begin to tell you why I have not posted in a long time.
I used the word porn which probably surprised you because it is out of context fo this site.
I can, and you expect me to, end the story with several teaching lessons. The real lesson is to post to your blog regularly. Also, when you neglect your blog or when you neglect to engage your audience you can lose your readers to your blog just like you can lose your audience in a presentation.

Of course, I will always have the spammers, just like if I don’t grab my audiences attention I will have the nay sayers.
