Great advice for speaking! It’s a great feeling to give a keynote and see that response. In my experience, it’s almost always in response to a story.
Also a great aspiration for writing. It’s just harder to “see” when the writing hits. For my clients, learning to dial their writing into that same mode is the goal. Like Brandon Sanderson says [paraphrased], “Every chapter doesn’t have to be everyone’s favorite. But every chapter needs to have the potential to be someone’s favorite.”
I feel that this applies to interviewing as well. Look at how the interviewers are acting. Are they engaged or do you need to pry them for next steps etc.
If you can get a ELU moment you have a great shot!

If anything, perfect the start and the end. The rest of the story will flow.

Wow. This is great/deep...
Deep in that.. the practice of TALKING and WATCHING/INTERPRETING at the same time
... the mindfulness and consciousness necessary is honestly unnatural to me. But I'm encouraged / challenged to work on this.
Thanks!
