Storytelling is important to your presentations. Songwriters do it in 3 minutes: #BillyJoel (Piano Man, Scenes From An Italian Restaurant); Kenny Rogers (The Gambler, Ruby, Lucille); The Beatles (Rocky Racoon, Norwegian Wood, The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill). I tell a fun rock climbing story in this video.   #VideoInComments #PLAP #StorySongs

Great to see visual storytelling being used to convey such an important but sometimes difficult to grasp concept (strangely), around our stewardship of the environment. Important story and I'm really looking forward to seeing how the book has been adapted for the screen. Nature has the answers if we can be bothered to stand out of the way. #environment #visualstorytelling #filmmaking #documentary #ukfarming #foodsecurity #natureuk #seeingisbelieving #sustainability

I am a fanatic of #fantasyfictions. I love reading them a lot. But I always wanted to create a #fantasyworld that will be too true to be false. So, I wrote this story. I wrote the season 1 of this story, and if people like reading it, I will write the season 2. #fiction #fictionwriting https://lnkd.in/dumgQaJC

SONG SPOTLIGHT: “Round We Go” I often receive the privilege (and challenges) of giving lectures about my own process of songwriting. Weather I’m speaking with fellow songwriters, marketing/business students, therapist or anyone who gains from understanding rigorous creative processing, the first thing I ever explain to anyone is how important it is to know what it is you actually want to say to the audience. For me, it always stems from my primary artistic mission of writing songs that mind the gap(s) between WHO we are… and HOW we are. No matter how personal or how universal my song’s perspective is, that gap is the primary source of all my artistic observations. When I wrote “Round We Go”, I wanted to find an even deeper place than just the “gap” in my/our behavior, but the actual “void” in my/our lives. It is intended to be song that recognizes the micro moments that often bring us to the behavior “gaps” and when I observe this as objectively as I can, I can’t ever help but notice at how cyclical these patterns truly are…. and so whatever that means, in this case is left up to the listener🙂🙏

The concept of #curiosity has been in my mind for a while now. As humans, we fear the unknown. Hence, if there is a whole new topic (like a culture) we fear the unknown and the fact that we don't know how to behave (fear of shame/exclusion). But we can either let that fear take the upper hand and judge people just because they are different OR be curious about why they do things differently. That will give us: ▶ new knowledge ▶ new connections ▶ new perspectives & much more. If we are curious, we can grow. If we are curious, we can close the gap between "us" and "them". Let's replace our judgment with curiosity.☀ Lynn Nottage
