Next Level Storytelling Video eLearning Series
For the past twenty years I’ve been studying, researching and teaching storytelling in business. My students over that period of time, many of them graduates of The Story Theater Retreat, have asked for a video course to keep the skills, competencies and techniques they learned from studying with me fresh. Now that course is available in an online learning format.

Discover What Really Works
This system is based on many years of research and analysis. I’ve studied what works and what doesn’t work. I’ve interviewed top speakers and listened to their answers. In addition, I’ve given hundreds of paid speeches for hundreds of corporate and association audiences in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and Australia.
Through trial and error, research and study, I’ve developed a system that I’m confident will introduce you to ideas, concepts and techniques that you’ve never heard before. How can I make such a bold claim? Because my students have told me that much of what I teach is contrary to what they were taught by other teachers.
Speech Construction and Presentation Skills
Of my thousands of students, many have told me that the concepts, philosophies and techniques in this system are so intuitive, so organic and yet so technically precise, that they are far and away some of the best speech construction and presentation skills concepts on the market today.
Power, Presence and Poise
Great speakers combine power, presence and poise with practical ideas. They make you laugh and they make you think. They don’t just convey information, they convey hope. They are great because they connect.
A dynamite speech motivates, inspires and informs. It’s like an exciting movie. All of the right elements have been strategically chosen and are in the proper sequence. It grabs your attention and takes you for a ride. It’s not just a speech, it’s an experience! And here’s the good news: It’s not magic. The secrets of speaking success are here now.
The Dynamite Speech System is comprised of 21 steps, divided into three phases: Strategic Design; Creative Development; and Preparation and Delivery. The next time you hear a dynamite speech, you won’t have to ask, “How did he/she do that?” Now You’ll know! (10 audio CDs and an 80-page workbook)
