A Celebration of New Knowledge
1. Pick a partner.
2. Spend one minute each interviewing one another, identifying something special – a hobby, interest, experience, goal, etc. – that most would not know about.
3. In one sentence, stand up and introduce them, sharing their special something!
who? what? when? where? why? how? how much?
Stories are foundations.
Stories share the significance – the why –
of your training.
Life, liberty
and the pursuit of
happiness.
There is no duty we underrate so much as the duty of being
happy.
Robert Lewis Stevenson
Work should be more fun than fun.
Noel Coward
I will laugh at the world.
I will smile and my digestion will improve.
I will chuckle and my burdens will be lightened.
I will laugh and my life will be lengthened for this is the great secret of long life and now it is mine.
And most of all, I will laugh at myself, for man and woman are most comical when they take themselves too seriously.
Og Mandino

(Great trainers motivate)
“Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities,
because, as has been said, it is the quality which guarantees all others.”
Winston Churchill
Our worst fear is not that we are inadequate.Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented,
and fabulous?”Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God;Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear our presence automaticallyliberates others.
Read to the people of the world as part of the inaugural address of Nelson Mandela
Speak terms of manage Speak terms of manage to thy bounding steed. to thy bounding steed. Cry ‘Courage! Cry ‘Courage!
To the field!’To the field!’
Q: How can we bring a story to
life?
And make it stick?
Suit the action to the word, the word to the action.
1.Put your listeners in the action by using the present
tense.
2. Share visual description.
Additional tip...
Give them correct analogies... don’t let them think of their
own.
Their analogies or comparisons may be inaccurate--and alter the meaning or significance of your
message!
Been there... Done that... I don’t
need this.
Every experience, observation, point of awareness, and influence
=
What is done – and what is not done – trains others.
Their perception becomes their reality.
Conditioning influences minds.
