The greatest stories inspire, terrify, inform and change us. They might change our lives, or simply help us get through the day. But if we know how central stories are to the human experience, why don’t more of us learn how to craft them more effectively? 

Matthew Dicks has been writing (and teaching writing) for decades now, and he’s seen the craft of storytelling change many lives in many ways. Most of all, he’s seen just how beneficial it is to tell stories to ourselves. 

Whether your ultimate goal is to share your stories with the world, or you just want to give better presentations at the office, learning how to craft a great story won’t just give you more influence over others, it’ll give you more influence over yourself. 

In that spirit, I asked Matthew to help me improve a story I was preparing for a work presentation, and he walked me through his thought process every step of the way. 

Connect with Matthew on Twitter, Instagram or at his website. Pick up a copy of Storyworthy, or check out Matthew’s newest course if you want to improve your writing.

Do you have a process for reflecting on the year that was - and for setting yourself up for an amazing year to come?

Joining me today is successful ABC broadcaster and host of Radio National’s ‘This Working Life’, Lisa Leong.

I sat down with Lisa for a chat about her annual tradition of reflecting on the year and setting goals for 2025.

Many of us do this, but how many of us are happy with the result? This episode covers a range of strategies you can use to reflect and set goals for a more successful 2025.

Lisa shares:

-          📓 Some unique strategies for using a diary to reflect on the past year

-          🔮 Why you should do a "pre-mortem" for the incoming year if you want to succeed

-          ✂️ The importance of reflecting on what to remove from your life each year instead of what to add

-          🎯 What you should be doing instead of a traditional New Year’s resolution

Key Quotes:

“For me, discipline is freeing. I see a lot of freedom in discipline.”

“Don't worry too much about ‘how is that going to happen’, but just have the vision there - and the magic happens.”

Connect with Lisa via Instagram, or check out This Working Life.
