Ever wonder why your story just loses people halfway through?

Well, it comes down to this one crucial element that most people miss.

Stay tuned and I'll explain it.

I'm doing an 11 part video series on mastering storytelling

to influence anyone, anywhere.

And this is lesson No. 10.

Controlling the flow and energy of your story with pacing.

A lot of times, our stories just fall flat because the pacing is off.

We're either too slow and people lose interest,

or we're just too fast. They miss the key points we covered before,

how congruency is what creates trust.

Now I wanna focus on this concept of pacing.

I want you to think about pacing as almost like this rhythm of the.

It's what keeps people hanging on every single word.

And if it's done wrong, it just makes them tune out.

All of our favorite speakers and leaders,

they don't rush through their stories.

They control the pace, speeding up during the exciting parts

and slowing down during those key moments.

When you speed up during that,

it's like going to your favorite movie

and hitting the fast forward button

everybody wants you to go back to.

That's the best part. You need to slow down on those important moments

so that we can follow your story.

You get the pacing right, people will stay engaged,

excited, and more importantly,

eager to see what's next. So here's today's tool.

In your next story,

I want you to practice Slowing down when you your critical point.

And then I want you to use a slight pause

so that the audience absorb that information before. Continue.

So in your next conversation or presentation,

want you to be intentional with that basing.

Notice how varying the speed at the

those key moments shifts the energy and keeps people fully engaged.

In our final lesson, Lesson 11,

we'll tie everything together

by showing you how to use storytelling to elevate your personal brand

and position yourself as the expert.
