Happy 95th Birthday to Her Majesty the Queen. Whilst tinged with sadness at the recent passing of #HRHPrincePhilip, we hope she feels the warmth, respect and support from the @Dawoodi_Bohras Community in the #UK and many of those around the world during this difficult time.
#Storytelling tip:
Using the present tense while telling your story affords you many advantages, including the ability to use the past tense when shifting into backstory.
This can be very helpful for audiences making sense of the flow of time.

So many folks (esp. the media) are missing the complete backstory on $GME and how we got here.
This has been simmering for over a year and the story behind it is great. I’ve been tracking this since September and devoured all of the details from the origin through today.

No one has ever gleefully asked to see a Powerpoint deck a second time.
But people will happily watch the same movie 50 times and memorize ever word.

Story always wins.

3 reasons Why I Love The Resonance Calendar:
1- Facilitates reflection and helps to remember more.
2- Encourages creativity through connection.
3- It's fun to look back and see what I was consuming. It's a reflection of what headspace I was in.
#Storytelling tip:
The two most important parts of any story are action and dialogue (including internal dialogue).
If you’re spending a lot of time describing things, you are boring your audience.

#Storytelling tip:
Don’t end your story with joke or a pun. People listen to stories to be moved. They want to feel changed in their head and heart.
Say something important about you at the end of your story.
Not some witty little turn-of-phrase.

Criticism is useful, but *how* you should act on it is often hidden. Sometimes, you shouldn't give the critic exactly what they want. Sometimes there's a hidden insight.
