QUOTES

Anu: "Story building is all about building human connections. And when you are networking with people, you're telling them stories. And I think that was also part of the speech that I was preparing with. It was very powerful it helped build connections. A lot of people would come up to me after the speech, emotionally moved, telling them how much it was inspiring them and I could see for myself the power of telling stories." 

Anu: "When we say technology and storytelling or presentations, the first name that comes to mind for me at least is Steve Jobs. He did a fantastic job of never bringing up anything technical in his presentations. Kept it super simple, kept it clean and made it look so attractive to people who wouldn't understand that technology."

Anu: "What they can expect out of this is definitely a lot of rich stories, engaging conversations with Toastmasters, and what they can bring to the table. And probably, I'm hoping out of every episode, they can take away one or two new things that they've never heard of before, something of learning value in every episode."

Anu: "The question should really tap into the deeper narrative, the why behind whatever actions the speaker or the guest is sharing about. To understand what is driving them, to understand what are their greatest fears or what are their greatest desires, because one of these factors drive people forward and try to get into the mind of the listener, and their psyche and understand them a little bit more."
