Listen "Awkward Acting with Lila Smith: Say Things Better"
Episode Synopsis
With a background in acting, Lila Smith has learned not only how to say things with more flair, but also to help you use your words to "Say Things Better" as you will learn about in this episode.
Ever feel like you’re playing a character? Maybe your words don’t feel like your own. Maybe your whole life feels like someone else wrote it.
Well, we aren’t characters, but we can use human character analysis tools (like YouMap®) to remember who we are or discover ourselves for the first time.
She did.
Then she realized- more than one tool works offstage.
Story visualization motivates us.
Improv teaches collaboration.
Stanislavsky’s System clarifies objectives.
Meisner’s work makes good listeners.
Adler’s “Actioning” names HOW we make others feel.
Forakis’ OTOA organizes our thoughts.
Actually, everything that creates dramatic conflict can be reverse engineered to create connection!
So Lila did that, creating the Say Things Better Method of Intentional Communication.
Today, her highly interactive workshops have earned rave reviews from partners like Merck, Acuity Brands, the Dallas Mavericks, the University of Miami, Zoho, and Fannie Mae.
