course-storytelling

Use when lesson or course content is correct but forgettable and a concept has to LAND: profiles the learner, breaks the blocking false belief, then rebuilds it as epiphany story → named model → grounded analogy → proof → so-what. NOT outcomes, assessment or module order (that is `course-builder`), NOT slide visuals (that is `presentations`).

# Course Storytelling — Make the Teaching Land

*Take a concept the student would forget and turn it into one they can't unhear. Profile the learner first, then run every concept through the Expert Secrets machine: epiphany story → named model → grounded analogy → proof → do-this-now → the so-what.*

This skill owns **the teaching narrative**: extracting what a course actually teaches, finding where it stays abstract, and rebuilding each concept so the realization happens *in the student*, emotionally, not just on the slide. It borrows Russell Brunson's *Expert Secrets* frameworks as a **teaching methodology** (this is method, not text reproduction).

Boundaries: `course-builder` decides what the course must prove — outcomes, assessment, module order — and hands you the skeleton; this skill makes each concept inside it land. `presentations` turns the landed lesson into a deck, `design` owns the pixels, `marketing` owns the words that sell the course, and a content-audit/review-content pass diagnoses an existing lesson (run it first, bring its findings here — that pass audits, this one rebuilds).

**Teaching ≠ selling.** Brunson's frameworks here serve comprehension and retention. The "sale" you're closing is *belief in the idea and trust in the teacher* — never bolt a pitch onto a lesson.

## Learner grounding (hard gate — read this first)

**Never reframe teaching without a complete learner + audience profile.** Teaching into a void defaults to your AI-median explainer voice — abstract, jargon-true, emotionally dead. An incomplete profile is a hard STOP, not a warning, because everything downstream (which false belief to break, which analogy lands) is derived from it.
