F2 Weekly #19 | Celebration time c’mon π»
Cristina Fonseca (Talkdesk co-founder) visited Founders Founders this week & gave an interesting talk (& office hours) to the community. π
In short – it was amazing. πΒ You know how some people just captivate your interest, right away when they start to speak? This was clearly the case.
When I was thinking about why we all stayed that impressed so easily, it hit me. It’s the power of storytelling. π
Cristina just told us her story. She told it in a simple, direct, genuine & truthful manner, allowing the audience to perceive her as a regular person that managed to follow her dreams.
You can use storytelling to pass your ideas or even to sell a product & if you have difficulties in doing this naturally you can always use the help of some tricks that are commonly used (check here for some tips). π
And if you top off a good story with great public speaking capabilities, you end up with a very powerful tool to influence and help others. π€
With time, details will fade, but not the feeling you convey on your talk. It’s all about this lasting positive effect that you can create on others.β
Share your awesome stories & create new ones!
I challenge you to try this at our monthly events! π
