In Joel's Schwartzberg's 10-plus years as a strategic communications trainer, the biggest obstacle he's come across - one that connects directly to nervousness, stammering, rambling, and epic fail - is that most speakers and writers don't have a point. They typically have just a title, a theme, a topic, an idea, an assertion, a catchphrase, or even something much less. This book shows you how to identify your point, leverage it, stick to it, and sell it and how to train others to identify and successfully make their own points.

Everyone seems to have an opinion about leadership. We know good leaders Eat Last, Lean In, Break the Rules, Dare to Lead, and are Radically Candid, as well as extremely aware of their Tribes, Drive, and Principles. But books about these topics overlook the value of leadership impression - the instant projection you exude as a leader. How do leaders sound? What do leaders say and not say? How do leaders tell stories, send emails, run meetings, conduct video conferences, give speeches, conduct interviews, and even listen to others?

Gets stright to the point.
As a long time subscriber to Audible I get irritated by books that keep dancing around the topic with hitting it straight on the head. I was really happy that Rob didn't do that, he addressed storytelling from a very practical angle that filtered all fluff out.
This is the book that will surely improve your storytelling given the simple steps he offers across the book. Don't expect a book that will take you all the way to teach you who "invented" storytelling and how it played a role in human evolution since the Greeks or so (thank god it wasn't that kind of a book).

Captivating
I’m astonished I could use the word captivating to describe any how-to book at all. But Rob must have employed almost every tip and technique he offered the reader (or listener) because I was fascinated. I do know he related stories to the reader that illustrated points he made, and I very much enjoyed that, eagerly awaiting the next one. I was also glad he provided information applicable to many types of storytelling situations, not only presentations given in the work setting. I’d like to buy a physical copy of this book and go crazy with a highlighter, marking and underlining. This is good stuff!!!

Good book but was hoping for a little different twist
I enjoyed the book but felt it was more about telling stories, speaking. I wish it would’ve gave more examples of telling a story on selling something like on a new product. Yes, I can take somethings from it that I learned but I felt like I knew most of them. Making a PowerPoint to sell something into a company was hard to relate to the advise given.

Focused on work and professionals.
This book is focused on work and professionals. I didn't get any clear cut 'how to' or steps to take to turn your memories into great stories. If the blurb had of described the content being mainly focused on work relationships, I would have skipped this title.
