In this concise coaching video, the presenter outlines a five‑step journey that transforms a person from having no awareness of storytelling into a confident, spontaneous leader of a storytelling community. The framework begins with Stage 0 – the Unaware Storyteller who does not recognize storytelling as a serious skill. Stage 1 – the Nervous/Forgetful Storyteller who is aware but hesitant to share. Stage 2 – the Messy/Boring Storyteller who takes action but lacks structure and polish. Stage 3 – the Conscious Good Storyteller who has refined a few stories, gains confidence, and starts receiving speaking opportunities. The final “nirvana” stage is the Confident Spontaneous Storyteller who effortlessly delivers value, supports peers, and leads the community. Throughout, the speaker encourages viewers to identify their current stage in the comments and invites them to join an upcoming webinar or mastermind class for deeper training.
Chapters
Many of you want to become a confident communicator and storyteller, but I'm sure most of you are not even aware about what it takes to become a storyteller. What are the different identities that you go through? So in this video, I'm going to decode that step by step. What are the stages that you need to go through? So make sure you're watching this video till the end and observe. And towards the end, I want you to write down in the comment at what stage of this journey you are in currently. The first one in the storyteller journey is called somebody as unaware storyteller. I call it as stage zero storyteller because they don't even know this thing called storytelling, or maybe they think storytelling is only for kids, it's not a serious business, or maybe they have heard about it but they have never paid attention. I tell to all the people who joined my webinar that if nothing else, by the end of this webinar, you'll become an aware storyteller. You will understand the importance and significance of storytelling. So that is level 0. It's not even level 1. And then maybe by accident, maybe by inspiration, maybe by some social media posts, you get to know about this term called storytelling and you start to become curious. You start doing your research, and then you figure out, and then you cross that stage. And then comes the stage where you take action. You become part of a community. You become a storyteller. This is the stage 1, which is called nervous forgetful storyteller. Even though you want to become a storyteller, you are either too nervous or you forget that you need to tell stories. And I've seen that happening with a lot of participants who come to the webinar for the first time. If I ask them, okay, would you like to share a story? They'll say, no sir, I'm not comfortable. Or no sir, I'm not ready. No sir, I don't have any stories. This is that stage. Now the good thing about this stage is that you are actually aware. You are ready to take action. And many people get stuck here for a long period of their life. But there are a few who are ready to go to the next stage, which is a messy, boring storyteller. So stage 2 is the messy, boring storyteller, where this person has started to take action. This person knows a little stories, and he is still not 100% sure about the structure and delivery and body language, but this person is an action taker and he starts to share stories. And it's not that the world is waiting for your stories and you come and people will listen. There's a reason it is called messy, boring storyteller because they mess it a lot of times. They become a boring storyteller, but that's also progress. And when you keep taking action at this stage, when you get the right guidance, that is when you move to the stage 3, which is called a conscious, good storyteller. Now, after spending a few weeks or a few months Practicing the skills, knowing little bit of nuances, you start to having one good story or maybe couple of good stories, which whenever you share adds a lot of value to the audience. Whenever you share, you feel more, more and more confident. And this is where you start to see the impact of being a storyteller. You start getting opportunities from different places for doing a talk, for doing a panel discussion and all. And you are able to kill it, if I may say. You are able to sustain and grow. But then there is this final stage. I can call it as nirvana of storytelling, which is called the confident spontaneous storyteller. Now, who are these people? These people have really gone deeper into storytelling. They've really read, understood, practiced. Implemented great stories. And now they are at the stage where for them, what is it that audience are gonna get, far more valuable than what they are going to get. For them, it's very, very important to show up and support a fellow storyteller versus treating it like a competition. They are true leaders of this community. And that is what I see, or I want to see all my community members get into that. So before I end this video, I hope you have taken a note of which level of storyteller you are. Are you unaware? Are you nervous, forgetful? Are you messy, boring? Are you at stage 3, which is conscious, good storyteller? And finally, are you a confident, spontaneous storyteller who's also a leader? So I want you to write down in the comment at which level you are, and if you want to Learn more about this and how we help you. You can join my upcoming webinar. The link is all in the chat, in the comment section, or in the description. I look forward to welcoming you in my next mastermind class. Till then, as I say every time, until next time, keep learning, keep growing, and keep going out of your comfort zone. Story power to you.
