A new month is here, and so are new opportunities to tell stories and jokes and talks with folks! This week I’ll be telling jokes with C3 Entertainment and telling a story with Healing Stories Alliance. Next week, I’ll be doing a webinar talking about the importance of stories in the fire service. And after that, I’ll perform a 1-hour show that will incorporate stories about African American fire service history with some personal stories of my own. All of this can be found by clicking on Hiring Nick Baskerville and scrolling to the bottom of the page. If I don’t get to see you at one of the events. here’s hoping you’ll book me for one of your own!
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.
