Afraid of Being Boring When You Speak? Here’s What to Do
Maybe you silently suffer from the fear of being boring when you speak. Maybe this fear has stopped you from sharing your voice and message on stages, in webinars, or through marketing.
I get it. When I first started public speaking, I not only feared that I was boring—the audience confirmed it. Not with words, thankfully, but with body language.
Whenever I spoke, at least 25% of people were checking their emails, chatting with friends, or focusing on snacks instead of my message.
They weren’t fully engaged, and if they weren’t listening, they couldn’t be inspired to change their lives.
And honestly, I needed them to be engaged for my own confidence too. I was asking myself:
- Can I really do this?
- Can I make a difference with my message?
Fast forward 15 years later, I discovered the key to never being boring again—and to go from good to great, and from great to truly influential.
The answer? Getting exceptional at one thing: storytelling.
Why Storytelling is Essential in Business and Speaking
If you are a powerful storyteller, you’ll grab and keep the attention of any audience. Storytelling helps you build trust, inspire action, and create emotional connection—something facts alone can never do.
And research proves it:
- Brands using storytelling in marketing see conversion rates increase by up to 30% (Harvard Business Review).
- People remember 63% of a story, but only 5% of a statistic (Stanford Graduate School of Business).
- Presentations with stories are 22 times more memorable than those with facts alone (Jerome Bruner, cognitive psychologist).
- Adding stories to webinars can increase average watch time by 15–20% (ON24 Webinar Benchmarks Report 2024).
- 55% of consumers say a compelling brand story makes them more likely to purchase (Headstream “Storytelling in Marketing” study).
The science is clear: stories connect, inspire, and convert.
From Fear of Being Boring to Influential Storytelling
If you’ve ever worried about being boring on stage, in webinars, or even in everyday conversations, storytelling is your way forward. When you master storytelling, you create connection, trust, and influence.
That’s the real transformation.
