Acclaimed for his storytelling on stages, the radio, and in novels and nonfiction, Matthew’s wonderfully straightforward and engaging strategies and techniques for constructing, telling, and polishing any story prove without a doubt that anyone can learn to be an appealing storyteller; that everyone has something storyworthy to express; and perhaps most importantly, that the act of creating and telling a story is a powerful way of understanding and enhancing one’s own life.
Why Humor Matters in Storytelling
"Storytelling is not just for the stage—it’s a tool for life.
Matt’s guidance opened my eyes to this, and I couldn’t be more grateful.”
– Tom M., CEO.
Humor isn’t just about making people laugh—it’s a proven strategy for creating positive associations and building trust.
When you make people laugh, their brains release dopamine, creating a “feel-good” response that they’ll associate with you. Humor also shows intelligence, empathy, and leadership qualities, positioning you as someone worth listening to.
Storytelling doesn’t have to be complicated...
And you don’t need years of experience
With Matthew Dicks guiding you every step of the way, you’ll never again worry about not having something interesting to share. You’ll be prepared to engage any audience with stories that are genuine, memorable, and impactful.
