Speaking Your Brand: Public Speaking Tips and Strategies

113: Storytelling Isn’t Enough: Your Content Needs to be E.P.I.C.


Listen Later

I gave this presentation on E.P.I.C. content 4 times to 4 different groups in a recent 2-week period. Whew!

In this episode, you'll hear the presentation itself as well as why I decided to include certain things, like video and music clips.

Why this topic?

Business storytelling has been all the rage for the past few years: we’ve been told to share stories in our presentations, on our websites, and on social media about our companies, our customers, and our team members.

But, for the most part, these stories have fallen flat and no longer have the novelty they once did.

A bunch of random stories included here and there or sharing your personal bio or your business origin story isn’t enough.

Too much content that’s created, whether presentations, videos, podcasts, articles, or social media, is uninspired, undifferentiated, and unmemorable.

How can you attract and retain your audience? How can you avoid getting into - or get out of - a rut of routine, unoriginal, and tired content?

Your content and your presentations need to be E.P.I.C.

In this episode, you’ll learn what E.P.I.C. stands for, how to use it for your content and presentations, and the transformation you’ll see for yourself and those you serve.
