Creating Impactful Stories

With Rain Bennett

As a speaker, creating impactful stories matters. Here to talk about how creating impactful stories is something you can do consistently to help grow your speaking career is Rain Bennett.

Rain has been a documentary filmmaker who knows how to tell a good story when you don’t have a lot of time, money and resources. Today he helps those folks understand the storytelling tactics they can use to make impactful video stories for their audiences. You’ll hear about that plus how he went from his first non-paid speaking gig in the basement of a library to national keynotes in a year.
