hello there its Ruth Sherman CEO and
celebrity speech
and media coach but you don't have to be
famous to work with me
I had to go into new york city for an
event
last night. It was something I was really
looking forward to. Anyway a
I drove in which was kinda dumb because
as you may know the Super Bowl is taking
place
and and New York has pretty much set
aside Times Square, which is right where
the meeting was
to have been. This big picture events this big
fun
event that has bands in and so forth are
celebrating the Super Bowl
so I got to New York. It took me an
extra 45 minutes... usually takes me 45
minutes so it took me twice as long to
get there
I parked the car in a garage near the
event, struggled with the traffic.
I know I know I should have taken public
transportation.
And then I got to the a venue where the
event was supposed to be and found out
to my chagrin
that the event had been
moved had not received a notice so I was
not
a happy camper. Now if you know anything
about new york
you know that I had to then
retrieve my car driver all the way downtown
was all the way at the bottom of
Manhattan from Time Square
it would take me another hour and by
that time the event would have been
about three quarters
over so I decided to just get in the car
and go home so and because I was feeling
like
the you know ugh. I was feeling worse
than that.
But when I got to the garage who
should be standing there next to me
waiting for his car but the amazing
and gifted genius Steven Spielberg
now even II have a hard time not
staring and of course I know being in
the celebrity world
that you really wanna give these people
some space nobody else was approaching
him.
I certainly wasn't going to go up to him
and say anything. I didn't want to
intrude
on his valuable private space, yes,
these people just want to be treated
like regular human beings
even though they're not. But
what got me thinking on my way home
instead of being angry
it got me thinking about his genius of
storytelling.
nobody spins a yarn like Steven
Spielberg.
and although I recently did a video on
storytelling because I get a lot of
questions
about how many times do I tell the same
story,
it occurred to me how many times I have
seen
Steven Spielberg's movies Jurassic Park.
I've seen all three of them
at least 10 times each, probably much
more.
Lost count to be honest with you along
with The Color Purple and
and Schindler's List so I have
seen these movies so many times
I know what's going to happen in these
movies, I know the outcome,
I know when to hide my eyes, I know when
I know when
it's going to be funny, but I still love
seeing them.
I love going on the journey with them
with him.
And this is what happens when you tell
the same story over and over again
provided it's a good one.. it's got to be
good.
All right so people who have heard your
story before
also want to relive it. They want to they
want to know
they know when the laughs are going to
be, they know when the poignant moments
are going to be,
andthey enjoy going through it with you
again. So once you find a great story
don't let it get away. Keep telling it
and even though you think they're going
to be bored with it,
you're wrong about that. So if you wanna
