The words you choose are as important as the way in which you deliver them. We know that tone is all important but word selection cannot be ignored. The words we choose evoke a cognitive and emotional response. Our job as communicators is to send a message as accurately as possible to achieve a desired result. The old saying 'Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never harm me"? is not true. We are all aware of the enormous power of the spoken word. In this episode we talk about how to choose words that will elevate rather than deflate and how you can speak to be heard, rather than speak to be judged. Chanti Niven and Desiree share our captivating speakers secrets every week on Monday morning. Tune in or download our podcasts on iTunes. Look for 'Captalk' in the iTunes store. 

Stories stick with us and that's why storytelling is an important skill to learn. Stories take us in, transport us, and allow us to live vicariously and visually through the experience of someone else. We think in pictures and when we tell stories we create a movie in the mind of our listeners and this is why stories are so memorable. Stories help us to connect with other people and accelerate interpersonal connection. Storytelling also helps anyone speaking or presenting in front of an audience. Learning how to confidently tell stories in a way that grips an audience's imagination is vital. In today's episode, Joanne Nall, a master storyteller and humorist will be talking with Chanti and Desiree over morning coffee and sharing some of her insights.
