Kindra received a direct message on Twitter from a friend asking if she memorizes her stories and retells them the same way every time. Kindra shares a personal story about memorizing a story for an audition, but the performance didn't go well. Her mentor, a renowned storyteller, told her that she was memorizing the words instead of the story, causing a disconnect with the audience. Kindra suggests that instead of memorizing a story, one should familiarize themselves with it by telling it over and over again until they know it by heart. This way, they won't have to memorize it and will be able to tell it naturally. Kindra reflects on the experience with regret, but also recognizes that it led her to her current career path of telling stories. She concludes by encouraging others to familiarize themselves with stories instead of memorizing them.

About Kindra Hall
----------------------------
Kindra Hall told her first story in the spring of 1992.

Long before storytelling became a business buzzword, Kindra was fulfilling a 5th grade language arts assignment by reading a story to a room full of out-of-control 3rd graders. Instead of reading from the pages, Kindra set the storybook aside and told the story herself. Within the first few sentences, she held those unruly 3rd graders in the palm of her hand and knew, in that moment, she had stumbled upon something powerful.

Since that time, Hall has become the go-to expert for storytelling in business and beyond. She is the best-selling author of Stories that Stick: How Storytelling Can Captivate Customers, Influence Audiences, and Transform Your Business. Stories that Stick debuted at #2 on the Wall Street Journal Bestseller List, and companies like Forbes and Gartner say it “may be the most valuable business book you read.” And her newest book, Choose Your Story, Change Your Life is one of the Next Big Idea Club’s top 10 happiness books.

Kindra Hall is a sought-after keynote speaker trusted by global brands to deliver messages that inspire teams and individuals to better communicate the value of their company, their products and their individuality through strategic storytelling. Hall is also the former Chief Storytelling Officer at Success Magazine where she shared the inspiring, often untold, stories of achievers like Daymond John, Deepak Chopra, James Altucher and Misty Copeland in print and on the podcast Success Stories with Kindra Hall.

Kindra lives in Manhattan with her husband, young son and daughter. When she is not traveling the world speaking, Kindra can usually be found at spin class, spending time with friends or exploring the city with her family.
