In my ongoing mission to help you be the BEST, I pulled out my top 5 most popular videos of all time. Use these 5 mini-trainings to give you that extra boost of power to continue to do whatever it takes to get to the absolute top of your game.

Can you make a mistake when telling a story? You can. We’ve all had the experience of listening to someone tell a story at a party when the person just goes on and on, and you have no idea why you’re still listening. Well, imagine that happening when you’re speaking on stage. Not good.

In this video, filmed at my Personal Story Power event, master story structure coach, Mary Kincaid and I share the answer to one of the biggest questions we get all the time:

What are the biggest storytelling mistakes you see?

I think you're going to be surprised by a few of them, like why leading with the desire to inspire can rob your story of its authenticity. Or whether or not you should script out your stories. You'll find all the answers in the video above.

I want to hear from you. What's the biggest storytelling mistake you've seen? Do you recognize yourself in any of the mistakes we talk about in the video? Shoot me your feedback in the comments.
