Michael Thompson – Become a Memorable Storyteller

Michael Thompson – Become a Memorable StorytellerEarning Attention Is the Skill of the FutureWhen people see your name and know there’s a story coming that will make them see, feel, or learn something new, there’s little you can’t do.Authentic and engaging communicators attract more professional opportunities. You also know they form deep, meaningful relationships as sparks fly when two people’s stories collide.Attention. Trust. Loyalty.These are the keys to influence. Sharing a memorable story—doing it again and again—requires a set of skills you can learn.We’re here to teach you those skills.Here’s the most important part: You have a story to share. We all do. And your story matters.We know this isn’t always easy. Opening ourselves up to the world and saying, “This is me!” can be downright terrifying. People may criticize you, laugh at you, or, worse, pay no attention at all.But it’s worth choosing to be the type of person who pushes through these insecurities. If we’ve learned anything on our own journeys, it’s that our fears, flaws, and scars are the very ingredients that build the strongest human connections.If you learn how to unleash the power of a good story, you can transport people out of their day-to-day lives and bring them into a new world—a world that allows them to see their own life through a different lens.Every time you manage to do this—take people on a journey that opens the door to possibilities—you’ve not only earned a follower, but a true friend.We’ve designed a step-by-step plan to help you develop this timeless skill.We’d like to hand this plan to you.It will make you a more impactful writer—someone armed with the tools to write their future through our oldest and most powerful means of connection—a memorable story.But before we do, it’s probably best we introduce ourselves.Your Storytelling SherpasWith 15 years of combined experience in the storytelling weeds, the two of us have received more than 75M+ views on our work, 500,000+ social media followers across various platforms, 200+ featured articles on Medium, and dozens of features in mainstream publications ranging from Fast Company and Business Insider to Thought Catalog and Mamamia.Most importantly for you, through the six-figure publications we’ve run, one-on-one, and group coaching clients, we’ve assisted well over 1,000+ writers to grow their influence through the power of stories.Hi there, I’m NikI started writing at age 23, which is surprising, given I grew up surrounded by nothing but stories. Stories are how we learn, how we relate, and how we inspire. A good story solves everything.I wasn’t a good writer at first, but I had too much fun to stop. Today, I’ve studied the craft for the better part of a decade. I’ve published thousands of pieces totaling millions of words and am humbled to reach over 100,000 email subscribers.Whether you want to tell great stories in order to become a full-time creative (I just published my first book), make greater strides in your career, or impress your friends and family at the dinner table, I’m your guy.Hola, I’m Mike ThompsonUnlike Nik, my storytelling journey didn’t begin until later in life. Five years ago, after starting a family in small-town Spain, I picked up a pen to piece together my experiences. Since that time, learning how to write memorable stories has transformed my career.Today, in addition to my own writing, I work with clients on articles, books, and book proposals, have gained literary representation, and teach MBA students leadership, communication, and storytelling skills (the only person I know who can say this who stutters).Being a solid storyteller allows me to make a living sharing the messages I want to see in the world. This seriously lights me up. Every day, I wake up and wrestle with words to play my part in creating the future I want to see.IntroducingBecome a Memorable StorytellerJoin the two of us on this storytelling ride, and you’ll get an in-depth look at our best practices for writing engaging stories.Here’s what you’ll learn when you join this experience:How to never run out of stories to tell, engage your readers, and leave them inspired.How learning to write engaging stories has allowed us both to be full-time creators, land interest from literary agents, and be featured in dozens of mainstream publications.How to take your career to the next level through the power of storytelling.After this course, you’ll be armed with:Proven recipes to immediately hook readers as well as tips and tricks to keep them engaged through till the very last word.Best practices for how to tell your own story as well as other people’s stories.Proven storytelling frameworks including one we designed specifically for this course – “The 10Cs of Memorable Stories.”Combine these elements, and you’ll get the 2 outcomes we want for you:Better Writing Skills & More Career OpportunitiesThe Curriculum:Become a Memorable StorytellerThe program is designed to be both easy to follow and instantly applicable.
