[Storytelling] I goofed, and I'm sorry


Hi Reader,

Earlier this week, I followed up with you after you'd registered for the storytelling webinar I did for eCornell in December.

I asked if you'd like to get periodic emails from me with my most powerful storytelling tips and techniques from 20 years of writing and delivering stories in the U.S. Congress.

Unfortunatley, because of the way emails are sometimes processed, a bunch of responses came back with BOTH "Yes" and "No" selected.

[Storytelling Pro Tip: Skip technical details explaining why. Focus on result. Wishing I could have skipped this experience.]

I want to ensure you do get storytelling resources if you want them.

Just as important, I want to make sure you don't get further emails from me if you actually opted out.

So, if you wouldn't mind...

If you DON'T WANT to receive emails from me, would you please reply NO?

If you want to receive my storytelling resources, there's no need to respond - proven storytelling methods coming your way!

Thank you, and I'm sorry to have inconvenienced you.

Mark

For each piece of your story or presentation, ask yourself: "Does this serve my 10% Takeaway or just soothe my anxiety?" Today I want to share why that filter is harder to apply...
