The Secret to Sharing Emotional Stories - 340
Tuesday, 7 July, 2026
Have you ever listened to a speaker share a deeply personal story ... and instead of feeling moved, you felt worried about them, a bit awkward and like the life had been sucked out of you? On the other side of the coin, you might have been in the room with a speaker who share the most harrowing story and yet when they've finished you feel moved, uplifted and energised. So what's the difference? In this episode, I explore what I believe is the secret to sharing emotional stories that create connection rather than discomfort, and why the most moving speakers aren't always the most emotional. If you've ever worried about sharing a personal story, or wondered why yours don't always land in the way you'd hoped, then this episode is for you. What you'll discover: • Why some emotional stories move an audience… while others leave them feeling awkward • The biggest mistake speakers make when sharing personal stories • Why speaking isn't acting ... and why that distinction matters • Why audiences don't need you to tell them how you felt • The hidden emotional layers inside every story • The simple questions that uncover the moments your audience will connect with most • Why behaviour is often more powerful than emotion words • How tiny details can create huge emotional impact • The storytelling principle comedians use that speakers can borrow • What an orchestra conductor can teach you about leading an audience's emotions • Why giving your audience space to make the connection themselves creates deeper engagement • Two brilliant examples of speakers who evoke emotion without becoming melodramatic • How to share deeply personal stories without overwhelming yourself, or your audience Enjoy!
