Something that I had not known about Morris was that he was a
regular public speaker.
When he was nearly 50, Morris, by then a successful businessman,
took an extraordinary step: he became a Socialist. In fact, Morris was one of Britain’s first
socialists. For the rest of his life he campaigned to end the class system and
bring about social equality. Angered by poor housing, terrible working
conditions and environmental pollution, he hoped he would live to see a revolution.
Such was his passion for social equality that he spent lots of his week
travelling the length and breadth of the country speaking in town centres,
market squares and meeting places about the inequalities and injustices of
society.
Morris was terrified of public speaking. I don’t think that it
was something he ever quite got used to doing or felt comfortable with. But a
passion burned within him to address social inequality. And therefore, week
after week he stood up in front of crowds of people and shared his convictions
and heart. With his words, he hoped to bring change to the world.
One thing that I feel very privileged to witness at the speaker training
workshops that I host, is the stories and passions that people hold. It is moving
to hear tell of the sparks that ignited compassion, conviction and change within
each delegate. Over the day we spend time looking at the stories that each of us
carry that have inspired us to spend lives living for things that we hope will change
worlds. From businesses that encourage community and connection to charities
that challenge injustice, or simply words that changed our perspectives or have
opened our eyes to beauty.
Earlier this month I hosted my last workshop of the year and was
honoured to hear fabulous, heartfelt, moving stories from each participant. Two
of those stories were from incredible women who I don’t think will mind my
including them in this blog post!
Katrina Mather was inspired to begin The Body Toolkit, which hosts
award winning health retreats in Scotland, due to health challenges that she had
dealt with as a teenager and young adult. Katrina’s retreats have been described
as ‘life – changing’. Knowing Katrina, the gentle, approachable , warm and
intelligent passion that she carries in regard to health and well-being will be
intrinsic to the success of her beautiful retreats.
At the same workshop, Zoe Anderson shared of how her family’s open
house and extendable dinner table had shaped her profoundly and had been part
of the inspiration that led her to work for International Justice Ministry – an
incredible organisation that works to free people trapped by slavery worldwide.
It was clear from the way in which Zoe spoke that she too, like her family, was
a real gatherer of people through the kindness of her demeanour, heart and words.
Every participant carried a story that inspired and moved us
all. The day was very special and reminded me of the power that a story holds.
The ability to share - vulnerably -something of whom we are with each other makes
connections that are deeply memorable, encouraging, inspirational and motivational.
This ability is intrinsic to public speaking.
If you, like William Morris are somewhat terrified by the thought of public speaking or maybe you are just finding yourself in the position to need to do it for your work and are not quite sure how, then I have two workshops that I will be hosting in January and
February 2019 in Edinburgh. The first, on January 16th and the second is on February 2nd.
The days will run from 10:00am – 4:30pm and will be hosted in my home. The
workshop will focus on the content of a talk. We will look at what it is to
speak so that people will listen and we'll learn how to create a story- based
narrative that will inspire and connect. Please get in touch if you would like
to receive more information about the day. The cost will be £130, which will
include all refreshments and resources.
I leave you with feedback that I received from Zoe and Katrina.
I thank them both for taking the time to write! I thank them also, along with
Michelle, Michael and Lauren, for inspiring me and making me want to be a better
person. Something that every public speaker should do.
"I loved Saturday – thank you so
much for a really special and helpful day. I left the workshop feeling
completely empowered that I had a story, that it was worth sharing and that it
would enrich any call to action I ever made. Having such a safe and encouraging
space to explore the science of storytelling, how humans hear and therefore how
we should speak, and to encounter other passionate individuals was invaluable.
It was as if we were gathered around a fire – I left intrigued by the stories
of others on the course; convinced by their ‘why’s’ and ready to hear their
‘what’s’. Practically, the take-away cue cards were a wonderful resource, I
have already used them twice in three days! Thank you!” – Zoe Anderson (IJM)
“What a wonderful day we had on Saturday,
both of us thoroughly enjoyed learning from you. The beautiful ambience and
space you created, the inspiring company and serious food for thought (along
with delicious real food). We had a really wonderful and thought-provoking
time. Thank you so much.” – Katrina Mather (The Body Toolkit)
