    Tim Hartman on Powerful Storytelling

    Here are a few tips from storyteller and comedian Tim Hartman on how to tell powerful stories:

    1. Don’t be spastic. Tone it down. Relax your delivery. Talks more softly.

    2. Keep it simple. Use no gimmicks. Just tell the story.

    3. Be enthusiastic. If you enjoy the story, your audience will enjoy the story.

    4. Be relatable. “As a storyteller its your job to let people know that you’ve been in a situation just like them,” Hartman says.

    5. Know your story. Be prepared. Practice. Find the heart of the story.

    6. Use details. Show, don’t tell.

    7. Don’t be inhibited. Reach out of your comfort zone.

  • Infographic: How the Various James Bonds Tackle Women, Booze, and Killing

    James Bond on women, booze, and killing

    Known for martinis, Bond girls, apocalyptic antagonists, and heavy innuendo, James Bond has worked his way through women, drinks, and villains alike.

    New info compiled by The Economist shows that of the six Bonds, Pierce Brosnan was the most bloodthirsty, killing an average of 19 bad guys per film. George Lazenby was the Bond ladies loved, while Daniel Craig (the current Bond) is notably less successful with the ladies. Maybe that’s because he drinks the most martinis.

    But that could change. In the new Bond film, Skyfall, Heineken has paid to ensure the hero only drinks beer. That might give Craig more opportunities with the ladies.

    The other Bonds (Sean Connery, Roger Moore, and Timothy Dalton) did not dominate as compare to the above Bonds when it came to women, martinis, or killing.
