Storytelling is a critical skill for the successful family law practitioner. I spent most of 2008 focused on learning to be a better storyteller. I read a dozen books, watched a ton of videos, attended several storytelling festivals, practiced at Toastmasters and had a terrific time learning. I’m not sure how much my storytelling improved.
I love the Ira Glass videos I’ve embedded below. I’m sure you’re a fan of This American Life. It’s fantastic. Watch as Ira Glass provides a terrific overview of storytelling.
