trying to express as you
share your story with
others?
• What emotions do you
experience?
• What emotions will best
help the audience
understand the journey
contained within your story?
STEP 2: OWNING YOUR EMOTIONS

26. “Compelling stories reproduce the insight and
experience of the storyteller while prompting the
audience to ask questions about their own
experiences and look for larger truths.” Joe Lambert

27. STEP 4: VISUALISING YOUR
STORY

thinking about moment of change?
