When you are struggling to find your best words for something that matters - a family meeting, a job interview, your next magazine article - it's easy to worry and think your words have left you forever! People tell you to just relax, but you can't. It seems like someone else could do a much better job.

So you give up. But, have you ever noticed that storytellers sound like they're born with it? Well, there is a secret you might not know; storytellers talk about their values. The best storytellers talk about matters of the heart. They know when to write, and they know when to pause.

With a little practice, you will find the prolific storyteller in you. Today's show focuses on this topic.
