Restorative Storytelling Book#2: 

Intentional Gesture

Body Language is visual storytelling

 The brain is designed to receive and interpret visual information, so it is natural for us to prioritize what we see over the words spoken. Most people are not aware of what their faces, hands, and bodies project and often their body language is out of alignment with their message. Anyone who wants to say important things well needs to become students of Intentional Gesture.

• A collection of essays on Body Language
• A series of worksheet to help you use Gestures intentionally
• A series of graphics which position Gesture with the other Restorative Storytelling tools.

“As a writer who speaks a lot at schools, I found that I was instinctively using some of the storytelling techniques David teaches. But what he does so well is break down the process, explaining each step with examples and exercises. I suddenly saw so many ways to improve my presentations - and it really did feel like tapping into a power I didn't realize I had.”

“This work is transformative! I was surprised by the action plan recommendations; turns out they were in total alignment with what I was seeking and needing. Thank you!.”

“David is an incredibly gifted storyteller and guide, with the power to impart that capacity to others. As a national keynote and trainer, David’s advice has been invaluable as I speak to, connect with and guide different audiences on a journey. If you’re looking to weave a better narrative, connect with the audience in a genuine way, and find your golden thread, David can help you get there!“
