More and more I get the question: “Where is a good place to practice a story?” Many times I recommend joining Toastmasters or trying it out on a small group of friends or fellow storytellers. If I can ever clear off my plate of things that I do, I’d love to create a space online and in-person where people would come and try out stories at whatever level they happen to be.

Until then, I created a page here on Story Telling On Purpose called Storytelling Swaps and Open Mics to practice Link Here Some I have been to, some I haven’t. You can’t get better at telling your story unless you go tell your story! Be sure to tell your story on purpose.

After years of being an instructor in the military and the and the fire service, I realized I needed to improve my delivery. My students needed me to improve delivery. But how do I improve my delivery? Simple. I finally took a member of Toastmasters up on the invitation to come to a meeting. It wasn't long until I joined. Along the way of improving my skills at delivering a message, I came to understand that of all the ways to get a point across, telling stories is the best way to get it done. Around this time, another friend from Toastmasters told me about The Moth monthly story telling shows. What better way to test out my theories on storytelling. It's in my travels there to the shows that I found more and more shows, and classes, and events centered around storytelling. Despite how many people know about the storytelling world, not many people know about the storytelling world. So now, I'm out to tell the world about storytelling.
