Name Your Enemy


You know the timeless story of David and Goliath, right? It’s arguably the most famous underdog story in history. The smaller, weaker opponent faces someone much bigger and stronger, and comes out on top. In the history of mankind, when someone has heard that story, did anyone ever say, “I hope Goliath wins this time.” […]


Getting Started on Your Story


“I don’t know how to start my story. Where do I begin?” It’s one of the questions I get the most. You start with a moment that made you who you are today. For a lot of us, it happens between the ages of 9 and 12. And it’s probably something that you were told […]


Why Your Story Gives You Control


People always ask me “Why is speaking so lucrative? Why is it so good?” And I always say because it is the one thing I have control over. So, today, if you took all of my money, my home, my cars, my wife, my kids and all my friends; you take away everything but leave […]


Speaking into Your Audience’s Greatness


The microphones are going to be taken by the leaders who are healthy, eventually. I don’t know when. We’re being led, for the most part, by narcissists—people who are unresolved. This is the subtext of what’s going on inside their head when they’re in front of people: “How am I doing?” They’re talking but what […]


Moving with Purpose


Your feet are in shoes all day and they get tight. As soon as they relax and open up, your whole body opens up. That’s what all great performers are looking for.

Getting Reckless on Stage


The audience doesn’t want to see you be perfect on stage. What we really want to see is your humanity. So when you’re rehearsing your story, it’s not to get every word right, it’s to attach the essence of your story to your molecules. So that it’s inside of you. By the time you’re on […]


Training Your Kids on Leadership


Every summer I talk to thousands of high school students who want to become doctors, scientists and technologists. They don’t just want to go into those professions—they want to lead them. I share why mastering the expression of their personal story is crucial to achieving greatness in every part of life. You’ll hear some of […]


How to Use Your Nerves


Dawn: What’s the biggest mindset tip you have to get past being nervous? Nerves really help him. The more nervous he is and the higher the stakes the better he does, but not everyone is like that. I think I would just freak out. The higher the stakes, I would just be done. I don’t […]


The Secret to Rehearsal


Dawn: I just want you to share a little bit about how you rehearse. People have such a hard time with this and go, “Gosh, I can’t get in the habit of rehearsal,” “Or how do I rehearse? Do I need a theater like this to rehearse?” Or a it’s at a special time, and […]


What To Do Before Hitting the Stage


Dawn: Can you tell them a little bit about what you do before an event, like the Personal Story Power Event or a speech? What do you eat? What time do you like to get to the venue? What you do first? Bo: When you’re on stage, especially when it’s like eight hours a day, […]
