How to Make One Story Work for Every Room, Every Time
Ever tell a story that usually lands… but this time it flops?
In this episode, Lord Al Jensen—founder of Next Stage Communications—breaks down why even your best story can fall flat if you don't know how to shape it for the audience in front of you.
You don’t need 17 different stories.
You need one story that switches—based on the room, the platform, and the moment.
🎯 What You’ll Learn:
– Why “story mismatch” kills connection (and how to fix it)
– The 3 adjustments that make your story land anywhere
– Real-world examples of story switch-ups that hit
– How to adapt your story for podcasts, keynotes, corporate, and more
– What to change (and what NOT to) when you're tailoring your story
