Storytelling is one of the most powerful medium of communication. It has been used through out history to pass life lessons from one generation to another. Do you have an important message to share? Use storytelling to touch and inspire your audience. Cindy Ashton, from SpeakerStardom.com, suggests you answer the following questions to help you implement the art of storytelling in your next presentation.
Good stories have a strong point or theme. They fuel conversations and are repeated over and over. In preparing a speech I ask:
What do I want the audience to understand_________
What do I want the audience to be inspired to______________
What is the lesson I want to share________________
I choose one of the questions, answer it and create my speech around it.
