We are living in the internet. In my opinion, storytelling is a one of the best skill to make your life easier. Successful YouTuber, CEO, Actor, whatever they are all good storyteller. I want to be a good storyteller too, so I do some research and share you guys the key to become a good storyteller.

This article is for people who want to be success in your business or make good relationship with your friends or someone who loves.

1.Everyone has a story

When people say I can’t tell a story, the most reasons is they think they don’ t have a story to tell. This is not true. Any people have a story. For example, I’m curious about people who are living in the other country. Your story not have to be funny, the more important thing is provide the value in your story. If you’re living in the countryside not in Japan, I’m very curious about your story! I want to listen to it!

2. Don’t prepare too much.

In my opinion, if you want to tell a good story, you need to do some practice in public. You don’t have to prepare too much in each story. Honestly, good ad-lib is coming from quantity, not quality. So you need to show your story on public, for instance write a blog or make some youtube or some podcast. Maybe each stories are terrible but if you keep practicing in long term, you are getting a huge power.

3. Shut up with your insight

Some people will say, I’m afraid to tell a story or my story is not a funny. I know you guys, because I was one of you. But I think you’re thinking too much everyone. I will say it again that your story is not to be funny.

I show you my tips when I tell someone a story.

Provide value
Tell some grateful
Be a good listener

The last one is my game changing tips. I think good storyteller are good listener because they know how to question. They know how to bring out good story. This is the fun part of storytelling. You can make good relationship with your friends.

4. Tell your story simple

Most people try to tell their story more funny or amazing and start doing some difficult tips. No that’s worse bro. Storytelling is like an art. We don’t want to see the messy campus in our art. It should elegant and beautiful.
